That's an incentive for the others to go ;)

Ideal person to organise it, I'd suggest - off you go :)

This morning I went to Aldeburgh, roads were still very salty, rode up through Rendlesham forest and in a couple of places there was so much salt on the road it looked like frost, roads were busy with idiots in SUVs, came back down the A12. Washed the bike for the second day in a row - which must be a first for me, but I wanted to get the salt off it.

In the afternoon we were out in the car and stopped off at Walkers Snack Bar near Mildenhall, loads of bikes there, saw Nik S from Visordown who's now editor of Back Street Heroes and also saw someone I used to work with there. Roads were still covered in salt

That's 2bhp more than mine, however I think I have more torques.

He's looking old, but it's probably nearly 20 years since I last spoke to him, he seemed to be happy and healthy.
