Well, thought it about time to get the gsxr out. Hasn't been started (or even touched) for 2 or 3 months now....and he started first time...didn't even turn over for more than a second. Quickly realised what I've been missing....I loved it. Loads of people out today, but got rained on on the way home....guess that 3rd coffee in Burnham was a mistake.
Really enjoyed it though....you quickly forget how much fun these things are! Neck is starting to give me grief now, but I can't sit around any longer watching you lot have all the fun. What's the weather doing next weekend?!

Cheers.

I spent the past 3 days cleaning and waxing mine.....

Finally took it out today for a blast...

Going to play about with tyre pressures over the next few runs to see what feels best.

And about bloody time too smile

Hope everything loosened up, rather than stiffening up, and that this encourages you out again next weekend.

Went out for a nice gentle amble through the countryside with Oggs and a friend of ours.

Managed to avoid the rain until the heavens opened - about 5 miles from home! Bike looks like it has done a rally stage.

Good thanks. Just wishing I could get out, however instead of looking at bikes to buy I'm looking at properties and trying to get a decent quote for a new bathroom suite, not quite as exiting as looking at bikes mad

I'll get there..eventually !
