Even though I've vowed I'll never own another heavy bike,the big ZZR still turns my head that direction. Great bike.

I left a bit later than my usual,but the back roads were quiet and it was a bit warmer,so a nice few hours wasting fuel.

For a sunny Bank Holiday Sunday the roads were quiet this morning, not that I’m complaining.
Even when I stopped for a coffee at Koti Autotali in Chipping Campden it was not as busy as I expected.

Needs a heel and toe gear change too so it doesn't hurt his tootsie pegs when he changes gear wearing flip flops.
Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Yes, not sure what to do about it, or the fact my butt gets sweaty with the new pleather seat cover when wearing a thong.
Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I had hoped to get away for the BH weekend but life and stuff got in the way, so I had to make do with a day out today.
I went to Scotland, St Mary's Loch to be exact. On the way I called in at a motorcycle museum just off the road from Brampton to Longtown. It's run by a bloke called Mike Barry who is happy to chat about the bikes. Quite a range of bikes, lots of old Brit stuff but also Jap classic (and not so classic) and Italian. Free tea or coffee too
Over the border and into Scotland, who knew there was a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Dumfries and Galloway?
Just off the road from St Mary's Loch to Moffat is the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall. There's a path right up to the top of the falls but I didn't fancy climbing up there in bike boots. You can just make out people walking up the path on the right hand side.
Just short of 300 miles, so a pretty good day's ride.

I was staying in Wooler, Northumberland at the time. Did Lindisfarne, Bramber, Kielder Forest, The Borders and Hadrian's Wall.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Spent over 6 hours out on the bike today. I was ready to get off!
The Mid Antrim road races were being held today,so I decided to go mid afternoon. When I arrived at Clough village,the road was open and no racing. Around the back of the circuit I stopped and spoke with some of the club who were clearing up. Turns out the local paramilitaries decided no one was racing today and poured oil,threw nails and broken glass over the course,as a result it all had to be cancelled.
I felt so sorry for the boys who gave up their time and the money it cost to stage the event. It's a club that's never been blessed with too much cash.
