I was thinking the same thing, the forecast is horrible at Mallory and here in Essex, but there's a big difference between what they say and what actually happens.....

Another question - I've heard that there's been issues with noise on bike days again at Mallory, how was sound test this morning?

And now the zip on my leathers has gone.. Cable tied for the moment, going to put the wet suit on to hide the ties..

I was bidding on some second hard carbon tank protectors. I went up to £30.

They went for £42.99 plus £5 postage.

I think I'll get the brand new ones for £44.50 plus free postage.

Too many idiots on eBay these days which makes getting a good deal a lot harder.

Took it for a spin was nice and steady as i went over the snake for the first time since my crash..... that bend has some huge bumps in it. It was ok weather wise not raining but most of the roads were damp and probably me being over cautious.

Good to get out again mate. That bend is notoriously bumpy especially on the inside heading towards Glossop. Always been wary going through there.

Never really noticed them before but was obviously very careful through it today
