hmm... first chain and sprockets, next clutch cable... How many k's to go now til it spits a piston?

I didnt manage to make it either. Went less than 1km down the road on the bike this morning to do a bit of shopping, and bloody hell my thumbs hurt. Wouldnt have survived a ride of any considerable length.

Well, sorry I had to leave the group at Thames, but I had a fun ride up till then.
The ride home by myself in mean cross winds and rain was NOT so fun
It was great to see so many like minded riders out there and keen to go for a cruise. Maybe I'll come one the whole coro loop some time, but I'd prefer it if it's when I get a bigger bike! I need MOOOR POW'R!!!

Yay I'm home safely. Hey Kev sorry we couldn't wait for you because some people were getting impatient lol
Just thought you didn't know, I was the guy at the far back on the borrowed Yamaha Zeal. Nice DL650, when did you get it?

Oh yeah and the photos, will upload them shortly.

I was impressed how others rode their bikes so patiently. It was very impressive!

Thanks to everyone who turned up. It was a great suprise! I was expecting about only 8 riders? Well thanks. For that in return, I tried to take a photo of yourself EACH and EVERYONE of you. Will upload them shortly.

Special thanks to Michael (Musicman) for letting me borrow his Zeal. It was fantastic! Psst! Everyone bling rape him!

Sorry to hear Fizzy, hope you get a new bike soon!
