No rain when I went to the pub but shit, it was windy!

Bike was moved around the lane so many times and I was leaning without cornering!

Thank God for the new wind shield on the Venox, made a real difference for my upper body and lower back while on the motorway...

Good luck to Brian for tomorrow and his 6R test. He has stories to tell this week about weekend motorcycle antics, maybe he found the missing mystical 6th gear........

I ended up doin the Fat Bikers ride yesterday. Twas bloody freezing in the rain. Good fun ride though.

Well, I made it through my 6R without a hitch (except for the first quarter when they pulled me over and said I was going too slow! That and I should stick to the right-tyre track of the lane more often).

Marks given for consistent mirror checks, indication, stopping with both legs down, and hazard ID (including watching out for/staring at potential hazards during the non-hazard ID section of the test). Funny though, there were three testers who came along, one senior and two junior/trainees, imagine my surprise!

And they made me do a total of FOUR (well-executed IMHO

) U-turns! (They must have liked my u-turns!

)

Just 35-40 mins and we were done...
