I had a top day! The roads were mostly fantastic, despite the thousands of cars who turned up to spoil the fun. Weather couldn't have been better. We did about 140 miles I think, and got I through 2 pasties, a baguette, and £13 of fuel. A bargain!

I even got to ride a few other peoples bikes:

Fonty's 28 pulls really well, hadles superbly, and feels like a well sorted NSR - though with no airbox lid is a little loud for my tastes!

Stephens 18 is also very well sorted. Feels tall as it's raised at the back, and does feel a little older to ride than the 28, though the brakes and engine are top notch. Sound is spot on too.

Monkey's R that I rode most of the time is one helluva good bike. It is standard, so was obviously hard work to keep in touch with the tuned guys, but if you rode this bike in isolation you'd be delighted with it. It looks fab, and whoever buys it is getting a steal. Open up that airbox, jet to suit and you've a stunner on yer hands!

Billies racebike is... wierd. He's got a ram air system on it, and bar grips that are slowly disintegrating, so he leaves grubby rubber hand prints every where. Aside from that it sounds great and is bleedin quick - mind you, he only weighs the same as my head, so it's no suprise he's quick.

All in all a shame there weren't more attendees, but on the other hand, 5 was a perfect number for a mostly controlled ride out!
