......Me.

Took the bike out for a spin yesterday, taking advantage of the good weather. Went for a blast to my parents and had a cup of tea then made my way off. Gave a wave to their neighbour as he was pulling out of his drive behind me to go for a spin also.:D

Minutes later I am flicking around some bends and opening her up on the straights, just generally enjoying life.:cool:
Closely followed was my parents neighbour seeing if he can keep up.:driving:

Then I approach a junction and slow down and ......oh wait whats that noise.........Oh **** I just remembered I forgot to screw my baffle in from my Fuel can. :shock:

Look behind me and its the neighbour and I pray the baffle missed him cos he's only decided to take out his 360 Modena for a drive.:shock:#-o

Luckily he wasn't anywhere near. So most of yesterday afternoon was spent walking several miles down this road to retrieve it.

Never did find it.:(:(:(

I once had a race with a Ferrari spider down the local bypass and tbh up to 120mph I kept with him then we came to another round about and I out braked him.... also cornered faster :rolleyes: Guess that was me pushing more? He pulled up and waved me in. He said "fast car no?" In some European accent, I answered "Not Bad mate". Wonder if he realised he was racing a bike worth ?4 brand new :p.

Must have been a day of lost baffles - one of mine dropped out yesterday after I hit a pot hole... noise was a dead give-away. Was easy to find though - a few metres in front of the pothole...
