there should be a ban on cars on the motorway , or have bike only lanes . The great northern carpark is so much fun in the mornings

FZ1's a nice bike... I think I might consider one in the future instead of the Street Triple or Monster.

or have bike only lanes .

I had all that a few years ago, rain/wet deck and 3/4 of a bottle of rum on a Sunday afternoon? what was I thinking?
The Rotator cuff took about six months to come right even with physio...I kept working which may or may not have helped.

Not too sure... Wet don't bother me much but the 90kph wind did raise my hackles a bit today.
