Aye, it's not, well ideal.

That's drinking weather that

Dry now. They're all out

Heads up if anyone is coming tonight along the M4, it will be shut at 8pm between J24 Colda & J28 Tredegar. There will be a diversion along the A48 through Newport. Deep joy

And everyone now tucked up in bed all fed and watered …… got my spare gloves and waterproofs ready for the morning with the hope of a drier afternoon

Last session of the day @Alan PBTD kindly gave me a wristband and sent me out for a session.
Then the fun and games started as the rain started just as I got the XSR out as the previous group were out. Toys came out the pram and I put it back in the van and sulked. But then it dried quickly and I decided to go out. But @Tricky had offered me the 890R.

Now you knew what to expect mostly from it, having my ridden it on the road but also having owned a 790.

The 890R had now been fully unleashed after its first service. The first thing I noticed was how much better it was on track than it was a road bike. The brakes are insane on it, proper good. But also the power and handling were loads better ! I was only thinking 5-6 laps to see, but did the full session as I was properly enjoying myself on it.
Excellent bike and a pleasure to ride!

I'm very envious - even with the weather!!

Hope today goes well and is drier x

The forecast looks wet

Who's had it most reet over?

''Who's had it most reet over?'' Not in a position to disclose such information, my lips are sealed. But the camera never lies....

Oops. Not too much damage I hope?

It's only a 390, he can buy a new one with the change down the back of the settee.

Ouch!!!!

Lunchtime at Pembrey

Biblical rain an the way to the circuit and a little as the first sessions went out.Only a couple of our lot in Inters as it was soaked but me and Trinity out splashing g about in Novice.

Second sessions brought a damp track and a drying line so the rest all joined in and the fun begins

Last session before lunch is almost dry track so even Weeksy is getting his bike out for the afternoon

I think between Novice and Inters we have 15 forum and mates bikes out of the 40 something bikes

Too fun …….. and the sun is out as well

Aren’t you supposed to stay attached to the bike going round corners?
