Crisps for a late breakfast.

... fun little machine, sounded great, really grunty. Not my kind of bike, but fun all the same. Had a new tyre on the beemer, so took that out for a right good blast.... almost fell off on the motorway junction, a bit to aggressive on the roundabout (forgot new tyre!) lol.
