Took it to Hunstanton for some fish and chips and to bed the tyres in a bit more. Also took the missus with me.

I've had the bike for about 18 months now and this is the 1st time Sue's been on it. One thing or another has always gotten in the way, but now with new tyres, time off work and the kids at school.
Took it nice and steady, found some good roads, the missus really enjoyed it and so did I.

Good times.

Lol, yeah she's not bad actually. Primarily because she asked how to be a good pillion. Well, not in so many words, but she listened to what I told her to do.

Now, if I can just get her to do that everywhere else!

Oops scrap that motogp starts earlier than I thought on Sunday so I'll try and get up early and fit it before I go to work.

Risked the poor weather we're expecting this afternoon. I need to get back into the habit of riding in the rain as it's good for making you think more and ride smoother.

I've stopped looking at the weather now, and just jump on the bike every morning.

I'm easing myself back into full time commuting on a bike. I was glad I used the car yesterday - the rain on the way home was very heavy.

Washed and waxed it after last weekend's little jaunt. Then grounded it as the rear tyre is looking a bit passed fooked. Wish metzeler would get their arses into gear with the 190's.
