Applecross to Buxton in 10 hours. Fooked!!!

Shit. That's a long haul

Thats some ride Monty ...

Went to put some petrol in the bike ready for the trip. All the petrol stations in my area were out so I had to over to the snake pass Petrol station.

What a difference a day makes early morning run and it was packed with idiots and sight seers

Just loaded it onto the van with all the other stuff, I hate loading bikes onto / off vans in the pissing down rain, everything is slippy as hell.

Spanked it around rural France. Then remembered i was out with the missus and had to wait for her

she's not got an excuse now you're no longer on a litre bike

Pre flight checks and she is all good

Cleaned and prepped the bike for next weekend.

Looked at it, looked at the rain and just checked the tyre pressures... Then took the Honda to pickup some bits. It has wipers and a heater, I'm a coward

Another horrible grey and misty morning, which brings out the best in british car drivers, most of whom refuse to put on their lights unless it's pitch black, or know where to find the demister button for the rear window.

Fitted and repacked the kriega a dozen times

I'm sure you've not forgotten anything.

My wife keeps checking before we go away. I tell her the same thing every time; if we've not got it we can buy it.

Hmm, you might have been right blade...

Easy fix mate. At least you have a nice upgrade and a fixable working spare now.

Quick fix


Buy a new bike

Me and Frankie thrashed them round Silverstone, great day as usual and good to meet up with some track buddies. Was a bit damp/wet in till lunch time then dried out. The 600rr did really well in fast group just got destroyed down the straights.

Glad you had fun.

Hopefully Frankie isn't too sore

Yes i'll let Frankie tell you all about the sore leg incident

Rode it through torrential rain. Then through 1 1/2 tail backs on the a14. On the tunnel and down to Belgium. Still grinning so can not have been that bad.
