That's my biggest regret, not actually remembering when it started flashing at me.

I remember vividly it ground to a halt at 139.2 miles though!

I've had more out of it with motorway cruising, but every time I reach 120 miles now I get a bit twitchy!

about to ride home in the rain again, this rain is so annoying been lovely and sunny all day today and now time to tiptoe home along muddy gravelly country lanes and have wash the bike again tonight.

I think my bike has seen more rain the last couple of weeks than it has the last couple of years of ownership

I saw the rain this morning and decided to drive in. The bike hasn't beebn cleaned for a while and I need some air in the front tyre. I won't be riding in tomorrow as I've got a meeting during the day. I doubt I'll use my bike again this week.

Filtered beautifully through a very long line of traffic and got to the front.

Then stalled the bike when the lights changed (facepalm)

Looked at it and felt really bad that I'm not going to get a chance to wash or ride it for a couple of weeks :(

Took it over to a mate's to put it in the garage.

Said "goodbye, my sweet"

Shed a manly tear on the way back.










Only joking about the tear, I had to get bread and milk so I went to the shop instead!
