I tried to tell him

[86GSXR]

That was a awesome ride despite losing the tank bag and getting a flattie!
A HUGE thanks to Al for providing the rubber grommit to fix the flat and Gary for sussing out the compressed air. Cheers guys

Anytime Anthony, it was indeed a supurb ride It was actually Sarge's rubber plug that saved yr tyre, seems there were two identical kits appeared at the right time and place

Just finished battery and bike swapping and checked out the Yodmobile, whoa, extremely nice example. Low kms and lot's of enhancements. Can't wait to see it in motion. That goes for the new RF as well

[slydesigns]

I tried to tell him

he did too... but Yod politely pointed out that our group has no need for a second KC135 refueling tanker, Meanies was more than enough to service our fleet.

Umm, technically it was Meanie's rubber plug that saved the day as I have yet to pay him for it

Indeed, good enough reason for another ride this weekend I reckon.
Be an opportunity to get some moving pics so Yod can change his sig pic.
