    Yeh, I can't see the bit that says you were providing goat tracks


    Seriously though, awesome experience, even if it was 'hard yakka', at least it proves some of us weirdo's who own Spyder's DO actually ride 'em....
    Dont think I'll do the 20th anniversary on one though

    say that AFTER riding it on something with the footprint size of a suzuki alto

    That road really was challenging after all the 'warm up' bits

    On the CB I'd have completely agreed with you, by the time I reached F.T. I was getting tired, shoulders/arms stiffening, and had been in the saddle the length of time most of you were reaching Welly again..
    I think I was 'allowed' to have a tongue in cheek whinge.... I'm English after all
