Cheers Pete!

It always looks 'mint' in the dark mate lol.
The bike has it's warts, few scratches, bit of rust here and there, and like I said, it was dark
I think it's done well for a bike, kept in the back yard for a year though, with only an Oxford Stormex cover for protection, then again, 5hr cleaning frenzies arn't unusual lol.

Yeah, love my CCC can, no where near as loud as yours though, even with my baffles out!! lol

Enjoyed the 'sedate' ride home too

Bri, I never got any baffles in that can when I bought the bike ... and thankfully *touch wood* I've not been pulled over it (yet?!) I do love the sound of it tho - especially going thru the tunnels

Well as Stewie will no doubt confirm, I tend to "hoon it like a loon" on my commute, so I just preferred to sorta take it a bit easier on the way home

Easier Luckypants style ... although perhaps not quite as graceful LOL

Thankfully I know the Wirral relatively well, so not much chance of getting lost anyhow Although Stewie and Brian may be a little confused as to why I ended up in a car park around the corner from The Tap.

Well for the benefit of Stewie and Brian ...
I realised that the road around the corner from The Tap was quite narrow and had no street lighting, so rather than take that route, I preferred to go back the way we came in, even if it did mean going back on ourselves a little bit ... ultimately it was the safer route (and probably only took us about half a mile out of our way - well for me and Brian anyway; for Stewie it was the quickest route back to the M53).
So there ya go
