Sorry to hear that. Don't forget, there's Riders in Brislington as well...

Anyway, quick hijack: if anyone wants to get over their disappointment, I'm going out for a short run today, probably around 4-ish.

Nice one! Save it for next week & you can buy everyone a beer at Matt's barby :D

Take note: began cleaning bike at 14:48; finished 15:57 (the same day!).

Wouldn't be fair if the road was perfect now, would it? Gotta admit, I am jealous of you having so many awsome roads so close :mrgreen:

As for riding tomorrow, I should be around in the afternoon, especially towards the end.

LOADS of bikes by the burger van.. I didnt stop as I want to fly through the bends there.... nice twisty bit to throw bike about if theres no caravans infront of you :roll:

Sorry the test ride got poo pooed. I gather you got to reschedule it :)

I ended up going to visit my old Dad in the midlands, first time he's seen my bike. He hates em. He used to nearly touch cloth when I lived at ome (all those years ago) and me bike was my only transport. Really good to see him though.

Anyway the A429 was a great hoot from Chippenham - Malamesbury- Cirencester through to Halford Bridge givin the ole bike some well earned post running n welly. Recon my speedo went wrong somewhere cos it read '111' at exactly the point I passed about six cars that must have been doing about twenty by the feel of it anyway. Engine freeing up a treat.:wink:

If anyones up to anything tomorrow it sounds good, otherwise I'll have to hoover the cat or watch the F1 GP :shock:

Sorry to hear that you didn't go on that test ride. :(

I must say I never had a test ride myself. When I was buying my SV
three years ago I asked for a test ride and got a flat "No".
Probably because I look so dodgy. :?
