I might take the GTR down the M606 onto the M62 and then pick up the M1, M18, M180 and then do the whole ride on the reverse route! I'll do a review later for 100milesaway on the joys of motorway riding.  :mfr_lol:
that sounds like a lot of motorway miles which is good for squaring off tyres :sad: which may mean you will get your pr3s a dam sight quicker :smiley: you must have money to burn, in which case. any chance of a loan then, :wink: or you could ride with me to the ponderosa which will even the squaring off after the stretch down the m62 and the m56 to meet me at chester services :smiley:
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

Well after bit of a false start, which we won't go into  :hammer: I finally got out, bit later than I usually like.... still a tad nippy though, I forgot how much the GTR keeps you warm and cozy, cos it was bloody freezing on the Tuono....

Ah yes, the Tuono, a little different from the GTR. I had forgotten how much harder the Italian Strumpet is to ride than the Kwak... good day though, apart from the traffic!!!... OK so everyone in Hertford was trying to kill me  :huh:

and was it you!!! Black GTR on a 2010 plate and top box, parked up at Finchingfield..
She is like the Bumblebee, she should not fly....... and yet she does!

O.C.

like Mogster I had a late get away, and unusually had no plan about where I was going, so I went over the Kendal ByPass and decided to go straight ahead towards Windermere and then take a right to make my way over Kirkstone Pass,,,so far so good apart from nearly being wiped out at the Kirkstone /Windermere Junction, you would wonder which part of me with a full HiVis jacket, headlights on, and indicating to go right, didn't the dozy bitch in the Micra not see ?

Anyway I had only travelled about 3 miles and was approaching Troutbeck when I came across a queue of stationary traffic, so I edged towards the front to find out what the problem was....OH SHIT... a female biker  has hit the bridge, Police cars everywhere Ambulance and Air Ambulance on site....I hope she's ok

The rest of the run out was marred by what had happened, but I made it to Arnside, Silverdale, Carnforth, Milnthorpe, and then back home, apart from the accident it was a nice run out
BE KIND...

Our thoughts, I'm sure go out to whoever it was, hopefully its not as serious as it initially appeared.

it must be catching :grin: got round to my mate's at midday, headed towards whitchurch then carried on to shrewsbury. from there, we just made it up as we went along, came across some nice routes around shropshire, some I've ridden before. the other routes that we hadn't will be getting another visit a.s.a.p. Sorry to hear off another bike accident, hope the lady biker was ok and not seriously hurt. suppose now the sunny weather as arrived, we will hear alot more of theses bike accidents :sad: but suppose it keep's us on our toe's. ride safe and be careful.. :yes:

NO!  Only mine, but the owner of the new addition was eyeing up how  fitted mine!
