Sure was! Went very nicely. Track, Ballance, Gorge, town. Pissing down, but you know what? 110 - 115 felt very good, hugely different to the Daytona which needs at least 130 to 'settle' in

Hate the sunshine at the moment grrrr

Same, working all weekend. The fact that I've slipped off the roster radar all year so far has finally caught up with me. Bugger.

Yes! Something very appealing about getting into some back country. The older Tigers especially would be well suited. The newer ones seem to be more road oriented. Must research their 'moderate' off road ability.

When daylight savings starts again i'd hazard a guess that friday night rides would'nt be too far behind.

My main thoughts are that a Tiger might be a bit heavy off formed roads. Might be better off with a lighter trail bike and accept that it won't be ideal for the road. I suspect, deep down, that I'm heading towards a break from road riding while our kids a young. Who knows? We'll see.

Unfortunately im working both weekend afternoons, so i wont be able to come along to those. Do you have friday night rides still? I remember hearing about that a while back.

Hopefully sometime i'll be able to put names to faces

Yep, as soon as daylight savings comes round again it will be all on. went well last year. Hopefully there will be a few fine days in the winter, not looking real flash right now.
