Great to finally ride out with y'all again guys, thought it would never happen, so Im well chuffed
Fantastic to see you back on the road Pete, and nice to meet you Chris.

Hope you all had a great ride after I left you, the road through Gosfield was superb - lots of lovely sweeping bends.

Heres to many more pleasant summer sunday morning jaunts.

Thanks for letting me come along!

The fast ride home on the A12/M25 was a bit much for my HJC flip front helmet. Although I wore ear plugs my ears were ringing for 30 minutes after I got off the bike.

Looking forward to more summer rides.

Was nice you meet you Cmit...
Apologies for the pace down the A12/M25...I had to get home to look after my daughter and was running a bit late. Also, I dont like filtering at 90mph which is why we got stuck behind those cars when the gixxer and zx9 passed us

Very sensible - I, like you, also only filter above 100mph just for the challenge!

Sounds like you all had a good ride - mine was prematurely ended with the discoverey of a rear puncture. Glad to say my biking skills are so tightly honed in that the tyre was down to 20 psi before I realised the problem - just call me Rossi Down to 5psi before I got to a garage. Bit scarey!
