Easter pics - Glastonbury run/Southend run

Past 7 days, I did 1050 miles in total. The contis have lost the writing in the middle.

Monday, rode from Guildford to Peterborough

Tuesday, Went 50 miles up the road in the wet and rain to Evotech in Alford to get my tailtidy.
They were very nice, offered me a coffee (didn't take one though) I meantioned the org and they gave me a discount. They also explained how to fit it.


Some ducks on Saturday while I was taking photos for my other thread.


Did 430ish miles with PeteVtwin and Lissa, plus their friends on Easter Sunday. Started off from Peterborough at 8:15am and got back at 10:15pm.
Fun day, few scary moments - I cut a rh corner, hit a cats eye, went off line and slammed on the brakes.

Petrol station, I think Lissa kidnapped 2 random bikers here and took them on the ride!



Dunno who's SV this is? Very nice though


Cheddar gorge



Last petrol stop with the entire group.




Today, bank holiday monday, Went down the to the Ace fully laden with luggage, picking up Sharka along the A1. A414 to Southend and Supervox's BBQ. And back to Guildford.
Few more scary moments.

Horrible looking bike!!!

Someone skillfully rides through our group and disappears into the distance.


Another angle


Things I've learnt over the past 2 days.

My left shoulder aches loads and goes stiff on the bike after loads of miles.
Judgement/riding needs to improve.
Everyone else is superfast!! example, I had trouble keeping up with Stu and Dan on twisties on the way home.

Thanks for the Pics Law

V-Raptor, I guess. The original Raptor looks like a proper bike.

wow, i can't believe anyone made a bike looking like that! i assumed i had some kind of front added on to it. I wonder why they went for orange/green with a silver tank ?!

You're right, I did kidnap the two young lads at the petrol station in Chippenham. They were sitting on their bikes looking so wistfully at us all getting ready to set off that I just asked if they'd like to come along. I thought they did really well, especially the lad on the NSR In fact, he's now joined WMR..............wants to come out with us again!

Everyone got home safely, although a few of them were totally cream crackered................and our rear is now toast!

By the way..............people should be aware that Law is a VERY bad lad! He kept trying to persuade me to have ice cream AND cake at the cafe in Glastonbury!

It is indeed a V-Raptor and can only be described as fugly at the best of times! The on in Laws picture looks like it's been resprayed as the nose fairing is meant to match the clolour of the tank
