Had a bimble to the superbike factory in Macclesfield today, just for a nose about. Didn't recognise the shop so think they've move since my last visit, about 10 years ago.

Big place, lots of bikes very tightly squeezed in. Only two pics, one of the showroom and one of those hondas that you never see out n about.

I went to KTM yesterday to get the oil temp sensor replaced.
I was reminded enroute that we're just not seen.

In fairness, closing on a car that is closing on a car, there's a good chance they will go for an overtake. With your speed differential, the last time they looked you were far enough back...

The best way to avoid accidents is to be past before it happens. 'Not speeding' kills. :thumbup:

Italian bike day at Sammy Millers in the New Forest on Sunday. Mine is the proper (air cooled) Ducati not the AUDI my mate parked in front of it spoiling the view :hmmm:

The Somerset trails were looking splendid last night too.

Happy days

The little lady is getting quite good. Took her about 3/4 of the way along side of valley we found last week. You can see in the third pic just how silly the path became. It's along the left side of pic and scared me looking at it. A crash down the hill wouldn't have ended well.

I won't do it again :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Was a lovely 3 hours

The wind blew it over first time. Then soft sand.
