Default Spring has arrived in the UK!

Whoarrrr! Spring has sprung!

Yesterday had to ride to Southend-on-Sea and back - mostly motorway work, but mostly between 90 and100mph. Managed to get 45 mpg out of her too.

Today even the commute into London was fun. Slightly overdid it at one roundabout, felt rear wheel hop a few inches to the right before regaining grip. Feel like leaving work early....

It'll probably p*ss down now for weeks....

yep, it's just beautiful weather in the UK right now. Almost make me feel glad to be alive!

My bike would not start after a lay up (fitted my welded up exhaust) but i'll get the damned thing started soon or go barmy.

Yes its great to be in the saddle again . I'm driving for the third consecutive day now. Even if the road is dry and the air temperature is almost 10 deg C, the grip is low and the rear spins on firts and second when the throttle is open for real.
