awesome ride today rode with guys i did not know but all were accomplished sensible riders and easy to get on with. Enjoyed a bit of scratching and also enjoyed a bit of a slower pace later in the day, as i think we were all suffering from the heat. All was well untill warr and myself got a text that someone had run out of gas (you know who you are). so we sorted out the gas issue no worries. got home and had a few cold ones.

Thanks for organising the ride warr.

Keen to do it again:

cheers

Thanks for your help today guys - it's great to go out with people who don't just bugger off and leave you stranded when things go a bit pear shaped.

and over all it was a good ride, bike held up ok.

Did his name start with a 'J' perhaps

Funny thing - I came accross a dude on an ol Norton, broken down on the side of the road, stopped and gave him some moral support, helped a little and he got it runing again. I felt like I sort of repaid your kindness today - karma

My shoulders good, not a scratch or bruise anywhere
Shows that having all the right gear on helps

All Quasi gear – wreaked the armoured cloves, tore the knee up on the pants and a few rips on the jacket, took out some stitching.
