Had a wee pootle down to Shannon this arvo with Pegasus. Met up with some well known regulars at the Horseman for coffee.

Nice ride back to Palmy with 86 & Mo on the Daytona and a quick stop at Anza before heading home.

Still gusty there and back, but I didn't find it too bad. Tracy got blown around a bit though on the VL and didn't think much of it.

Nice pics Al (looks like Sadra caught ya tho lol), Michelle gave me that haircut last nite It was a great wee catchup and really good to get the Daytona out. Michelle's first time on it and she was very impressed, especially on the way back Good to see the mighty S3 manned up too lol.

The longer ride sounded good, especially good route! We were moving stuff out of my flat before the new tenants move in at 1100 tho.

Wind over here died down about 3ish or so it seemed, went to town in the car at 5:30 and the Statesman or "great white whale" as my nephew calls it was getting shoved about a bit, glad to here you guys had a safe and enjoyable ride.

Was great to have a catch up although a wee bit of envy you guys could ride ya bikes ...

That bike certainly has something about it ..

ps might have to get you to take BB for a run for me .. I just might have to be on the back to make sure you treat her right though

Yea, I think I should have stuck with Sarge's option, or taken the car. At least I know what to do when the wind blows the car accross the lane. It was a very slow trip home for me. Did my confidence more harm than good.

But hey I made it home in one piece. So I guess that goes in the experience basket now.
