Come on Virt you don't really want baffles :lol:

Gave mine a quick wash and removed the belly pan, then proceeded to give the header pipe a quick once over with some wet n dry. If it's dry tomorrow I might find time to put the advancer on.

i'm proud of myself, on a ride home from a friends today, the fuel light starts to flash and I filled up at the first petrol station I saw.... :lol:
most unlike me...... :wink:
I've also been told today, that after leaving jamies (and at a private test facility) I reached speeds of 140mph.... 8O I think it was a combination of winter gloves and quick action throttle :roll:
but then it is a yellow bike, come on all you haters, bring it on.... :lol:
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

I went out for a planned 40 mile bike ride, but after 2 major downpours I cut it short to 33 miles and came home and watched motoGP. Storm still not washed.

But I did unpack the bag off the back of the bike and found the 2cDs from Jamie..... Will listen to them tonight :thumbup:

Was a good ride today. Really enjoyed it :thumbup: I really need to get better at riding in the wet, I have no confidence in the wet at all, bike feels fine, its just me :( will be nice when we get to go a have a good ride with some good weather.

All in all a great weekend spent with my brother and Lloyd. And was great meeting those of you that I did. Thank you all for a good weekend :thumbup:

Sounds like everyone has been having fun today!

I took Kwaka-stevo out for a hearty pub lunch, followed by a loop of Suffolk, which was fantastic! Stevo has now lost his chicken strips :)

We swapped bikes for a few miles which was fun, but was glad to have my torque monster back afterwards.

He loved it! He said, "you just give it some throttle and it goes!"

When I jumped on his Ninja, I pinned it and nothing happened until I reached the entry to the first corner :lol: knocked it down a few gears and didn't let it fall below 9k, much better! :lol:

That's strange, Warren said the same thing and that was the entire reason he disliked the storm :lol:
