That sucks,hope you get it fixed soon. Those radiator guards are good(note to self must get one). I'm going tomorrow but you probably won't have it fixed by then.

Thanks for the ride guys- Nice to meet a few faces and pas a few sports bikes in the twisties on my knobbly tyres

I was totally impressed by the guy on the Guzzie with Dealer Plates!!
he just slipped past me and was gone gone gone!!! .

I couldn't believe how quick you were on that thing, and on those tyres - 'you da man'

It was a nice looking Guzzie, however you didn't have mirrors, so you didn't notice them pushing past and being a bit stupid behind you, they pulled a couple real risky overtaking moves, so best to just let them pass

Here are the photos I took of the ride.
A few really bad shots have been deleted to save embarrassing those pictured (lula and her friend who didn't want me to take her pic).

As a sign of respect I have not uploaded pictures of the rider who crashed.

to see the rest go to the album:

why not??

no need for facial pics but it might just bring it home, that we aren't as bulletproof as we/some boast/think we are.

There is a lot to said about staying/going home at times.
