You might see Jax down there on the Duke, I'll be at home with the nipper. So look out for a Glittery purple monster 600.

Not me. I have things to do. Fitting Motad exhausts being one of them.

Great Day :D
Didn't get lost, just a circuitous route :oops:
Great ride down
Good vantage point to see down at all the sights ;)
The rain just about held off :) 8) 8) 8)
Fastest car we saw did a 10.3 sec 1/4 mile, was a Ford Puma
Fastest Bike we saw did it in 8.9, fastest terminal speed after 1/4 mile was 159 mph (both blown 'Busas)
Good ride back - my first stoppy, (sorry officer - :oops: yes I got told off!) Oh & sorry 'bout that roundabout, wasn't expecting to turn back on ourselves quite so sharply so I didn't think that was the way - & what was that sun like to ride in to! :shock: :ncool:

No we weren't lost we were just misplaced briefly down that god awful road with more craters than the moon!!
And lovely sights they were too ;)
A puma beating the likes of Dodge Vipers, Mustangs, skylines etc :shock: and the puma was wriggling it's way all the way up to the finish line:shock::shock:
The bloke on the Desmo should be ashamed of himself though :rolleyes:
Low sun was a nightmare on the way back :(
