It be the weekend warriors that will make the FOT busy. I did it last Friday and there wasn't many bikes but there was loads of cars so maybe it was in a car mag too?!

Blimey.... he must have been going some to make 800 quids worth of damage!!!

By "weekend warriors" you mean "people who have jobs", right?

Minor scratch to the exhaust and/or a fairing panel, most likely.

No, I mean by people who only use their bikes at the weekends for fun, ie. not commuters. The FOT is a busy main road so there are always bikers on it but to know if the FOT is busier cos of the article in the mag then you'd have to wait till the weekend. You know what I mean.

I was messing about you know.

Either of you doing it on Sunday with Mr Rictus?

Maybe. Small maybe.

The RGV's in bits as I straighten what got bent last weekend and the GSXR's going to be used for an Alpine tour starting the weekend after so I'm loathe to go hooning on it lest the worst should happen and leave me without wheels for the trip.

Or, to put it another way, "depends on the weather."

Nope, there is going to be loads of noisey bikers in Brackley this weekend so I'm going up to the Yorkshire dales for some peace and quiet!
