I went on a Charity Ride this morning .... met at Street Bike and rode to Quatt Café with about another 80+ bikes
I know its for a good cause but we never got out of 2nd gear all the way there (yawn)

The ride went on from Quatt to a 'family fun day' for more charity raising at a pub somewhere but I hot footed it away after a cuppa at Quatt and went for pootle

Played dodge the diesel. Loads of it this morning on a roundabout off the M6. You could smell it.

Been tazzing it round Silverstone with my Motogp riding mates :D

Well actually i have been to the Day of Champions but did have a chat with Niall McKenzie and Bradley Smith and was within a nat's nostril of getting Marqeuy Marc to sign my Day of Champions bib but he decided he had enough then and fecked off :(

To be fair it must have been a bit frightening for him because it was like a rugby scrum. Quite how they cope with that in public all the time, i have no idea.

Bought some brake fluid. The front brakes need doing. I forgot I had some leakage at Mallory from the reservoir.

I might do an oil change as well.

Yesterday I kept moving it around whilst I painted my garage, but today I plan on rising it to a party for my nephew and his wife. Plus, I'm going to experiment with my new HD camera (Intova) and see how that works.

Went out for a little ride to clear my head, problems with soakaways at home and it looks like it's gonna cost me loads to sort!!!!! (swear) Had the guy in this morning to clear the drains, but it's not going to work!!! :(

Anyway "what did I do to my bike"? had a race with a McLaren MP4, ha ha ha (punch) duffed him up (muscle)
Well until some nob in a 4by4 decides he is going to control the traffic on the dual carriage way, and brakes hard in front of me for no reason, then decides to stay out in that lane, while the inside was perfectly clear.... (fubar) (mooning) (finger) (swear)

Anyway blew past him, so did the McLaren I guess, as he was on my tail when I stopped at the roundabout, then we were off again... Naughty numbers ;) Man that bike is quick when you open it up in every gear (raaar) ha ha

Lost the Mclaren (giggle)
Filled with fuel and then rode like an (angel)
