Top Bananna!
What a weekend! Home, Knackered and have just poured my first drink.
It appears my bike doesn't like doing 50 in an averaged speed zone. After 900 miles of being ragged mercilessly and having more laughs than I can count. Ten miles of slow moving traffic and my bike decided to protest in the middle of the M6 in the middle of the road works. It unceremoniously cut out and I coasted to a stop after barging my way, dead stick, through lane one and into the coned area. I'm guessing coils, or ignition pack but neither the police, emergency rescue or the AA could do anything. It's amazing what attention you can draw by being on the wrong side of the cones on the M6 M5 interchange
Anyway, home now, safe and sound, and I'll look at the bike when my butt stops stinging
I'll get some piccies up tomorrow
Big Thanks to everyone

and the last photo of the newest comedy act ever to appear at a chip shop near you.
the working week is going to be a major anti climax after the last few days.
bikes, beer, banter, battered fish, break downs and just a hint of brokeback mountain.
and Mrs McQ says her sister fancies Stuart..... bloody guide dog ran off when it saw Ady

Turns out that my flight to Germany today is not at 7am as put in my diary, but at 7pm.... Luckily I spotted it last night before I booked the taxi and set my alarm..... So have decided to have a long lie and try and recover from the excesses of the last 3 days...... Result
Still fecking knackered though
Oh and MrsMcQ says it was just the high heels sinking in the grass when she stood up
