Default Brilliant ride in!

Morning all
Rode in with the GSXR today instead of the Vespa down the A4 and it was BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
Fantastic start to the day. I love the way the bike just opens out with just a touch on the throttle. Even the mad vans didn't bother me.
Looking fwd to Frith tonite.

Did you hit a reasonable 109mph?

Helloooooooooo ... I think my thread is being derailed here. Evidently, I meant a verbal spanking to the likes of "what planet are you on", blah-di-blah blahhhhhhhhhhh

I had a pretty good run in this morning, as well.
I actually cross the A4 as part of my journey, though probably somewhat further along it than you.
Top speed for me this morning was 91mph, that I saw, anyway.
Shockingly, only one van pulled out on me, though I saw some interesting interpretations of how roundabouts work and a few people still seem confused about the magic roundabout.

speaking of roundabouts. I drew up to a set of red lights on the Elephant & Castle last night & teh chav and his pretty, blonde, chav girlfriend crossed over. She looked at me, did a double take, looked at her boyfriend, looked back again then smiled.

The driver of the car next to me just looked at me & said, "nice bike". The light turned green & I rode off grinning & suitably bigged up, into the distance (50 metres - next traffic light).

Made my night.
