I did a Trackday up at Knockhill and managed a go over the dukes pass on Sunday. Was good to finally see some bikes on the roads again.

Went out for a blast today. Roads are a complete state. Weird since we haven't been able to go any place for for what feels like years. Oh and I sold the MT10 and bought a Tuono :-)
