TV day today as the weather looks crap. Tomorrow, ride with friends. Me on my GTR, one a Bandit 12, one on a TL1000, one on a CBR1300. All with wives on the back so steady riding (yawn) probably into North Wales or maybe Matlock Bath. Spot of lunch and back in time for LFC v MCFC. Then more crap weather forecast for Monday.

Working night shifts all weekend, so kipping during the day and therefore no chance to ride the GTR.  :sad:

Looking forward to the update though from Asif as to which bike he's bought.  :whistling:

Today down here in very sunny Oxford I am putting the finishing touches to my exhaust after painting it in the fastest colour, then I shall pack my bags for an early start up to Liverpool in the morning to catch the Steam Racket Ferry to the Isle of Man for a weeks worth of watching quick bikes and riding around the Island.

Blimey it's hot down here today, oh and the mighty yellows (Oxford United) are top of the league.
