Talking Midland Superbikes

Went for a quick squirt today and ended up at Midland Superbikes.
This timeI found the correct way in!
Bumped into Pete and Lissa. Had a nice chat and a cuppa! Didn't get to look around the place cause had to get back for sunday roast
Anyway thanks both for showing me how a bike should be ridden
I'm sure I was holding you up, but thanks. It was nice for me as a new rider with not a great deal of confidence to see someone else's road positioning etc.
Thanks again.
Bring on a proper rideout!!

It was nice to see you again, Dan

Glad you enjoyed the run back. Your grin when we stopped in the layby just outside Lutterworth to say goodbye said it all

Now work on getting that weekend pass

Where they leading you astray? They have a habit of doing that.
And yes you probably where holding them up...but unless you are Rossi or similar I wouldn't worry about it

You must come on a rideout. I think my riding improves two fold when on a rideout.

Exactly...........the voices of sanity If we were insane, we'd be saying a F*lc*

And like you need any egging anyway, all we've done is tell you of a few for sale...............you're already a Ducati owner, you just haven't got it yet!

Fingers crossed here too about the car!

Lol, should have said he's metaphorically a Ducati owner. He's determined to get one, just waiting to sell his car first.

I think he's already decided the ones at MSB are a bit over-priced.
