I still remember my first ride out on my brand new GTR with a few mates. If your mates like to go fast it is very frustrating having to stay below 4000rpm and see them disappear in the distance. In overdrive you can still go up to about 90 mph (with a tail wind or downhill) but it just takes that much longer to get up to that speed. :P

Don't say that! [checks weather forecast for Swansea] 'partly cloudy' on Saturday, 'showers' on Sunday.  Doesn't sound that bad.

Thats about 30 miles from where we were over the weekend. Last time I checked, (not that the BBC weather can be trusted) it was going to be wet.

It started to rain just as we arrived on Saturday and the rain had cleared the SE by the time we got back on Sunday which, in view of the forecast, was a bit of a result :).
