Those Kwackers look quick

They do look ready for a rumble, don't they?

Those 10r bikes pull like a train.

Well... 2 and a half hours into a 12 hour nightshift, talk about come down! LoL
Cheers for today guys, once again a quality ride out :-)
Shame about your zip busting Andy, treat yourself to some more over Christmas ;-)
(I did get your PM btw this morning mate cheers)

Thanks for your company Deano.

I'll stick it in full power mode for you next time

Hope the shift goes well Deano. Nice to see you today and hopefully will be another cracker when we do the Derbyshire run

Please do. I think my little 600 got bored spending all day in 2nd gear........

That ride home was fecking boring. I almost fell asleep.

Yeah it was a good day all round.

That road up to the bison fields was good. I'll have to do that again.

That's why I suggested we head up that way rather than sit around Aber. Glad you enjoyed it.

So many roads to enjoy... One of my personal favourites was I think between Machynlleth and Dolgellau, section that cut through the mountain and you could see right to the other side... That put a big smile on my face! :-)

Spectacular scenery around that way.

I know where you mean Deano.

I always remember first time I went down that road and Andy came flying past me there with his 675 screaming and the noise was amazing echoing of the huge wall at the side of you.

I always have a little giggle when I blast through there now.

I'm gutted I missed this ride out. Couldn't believe it when the zip bust, they certainly weren't cheap leathers. I had decided to get them fixed but I'm wondering if the zip is shit what else is shit on them now? Off to hunt for alpinstars horror stories!

Glad you all had a good day out though

Andy if there good apart from the zip just get a new zip fitted.

Otherwise try the euro sites like motocard and fc.moto loads of great deals as the euro is weak against the pound.

They have a couple of battle scars but not too bad. I've heard alpinstars aren't as good as they used to be and wouldn't want anything to fail when it's needed. I'm going to run them up to Joyda at some point and see what they say.

Used Joyda myself and she did a great job at a fair price.
