    A swarm of Hornets in the capital

    Well, four Hornets at least.

    Mrs Kendog, skelstar, et al and myself got together for a trip over to Martinbourough today (joined by Simon, who had a Honda at least ) and a very enjoyable ride it was too.

    Many discussions about future modifications were had and plans for the upcoming track day were discussed. I may have even been talked into taking my bike on the track

    Looking forward to the next ride, all are welcome - especially those with Hornets. It is a great feeling riding along, looking at the group of bikes in front of you and they are all the same bike as yours.

    It's not the RVF that ruined the photo LBTW.

    Sigh. Lovely day it was too.

    Thanks for asking..... no really, I didn't want to go anyway....no, don't worry about me.....that's fine, I know when I'm not welcome....buy a Kawasaki to be different and everyone else buys a Honda and forms a slightly gay Gang....bastards.

    HOC gang (Hornet Owners Club) on the loose in Yrapa

    Thanks for the pics Kendog and nice to me you and the other half. Four bikes of same model, but all subtlety different due to owners mods and preferences - isn't it wonderful (and not at all even slightly gay, thank you Jim2).
    pretentious moi?

    Good to see such excellent taste in motorcycles.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    You could call the new gang: Great Hornet Extra Yeah (Japlish in keeping with its origins) or G.H.E.Y for short.

    I did the watertower road. That was good. Someone had **caned** it along there earlier, moving north to south by the looks of things, and had left little black lines around all the corners.

    Then I ran into that crew at lake ferry, and had fush and chups.

    And my fence is still un-fixed.. Oh well, maybe next sunday..

    Looks like you guys had a great day. Sunday was a stunner. Sorry I couldn't make it but duty called Kendog, the Cibber will be up for another dash over the hill soon. Although, it may be a little uncomfortable with all the hornets around though
