No idea why the others were not out
Probably comfort related depending on the roads you are riding ... found the blade bloody rock hard when riding up there last week. The roads are in a dreadful state in places. Everyone is buying uprights now ... when you can get an upright with sportsbike handling and performance you have to wonder the point of using a sportsbike on the road - I certainly am after trying an S1000R ...

Others weren't out as their invites got stuck in the post ... frown (not that I'd have made it - was too busy getting pissed)
Wooooosh.....

Others' psychic powers not up to determining there was a run on?

I never thought about it Dave, you're usually there when the 2 old fella's turn up, when you weren't there I just assumed you didn't want to go to Hartside.

We'd better get a run organized or we'll end being like them Southern homo's.

I agree, although to organise a run one has to inform the usual participants, otherwise the run out doesn't happen, is it going to be one every 2 years now?
