Great little ride out with my Brother-in-law yesterday, he on his 350LC me on my X7. Only covered about 70 miles but took in some great back roads and even enjoyed ourselves on the quicker A roads, at least as far a my bottle allowed running the poor little X7 on full chat for a few seconds at a time. Roads were a bit damp but only saw a bit of rain and modern tyres make a whole lot of difference.

Although I have always had bikes BIL dipped out for a long time and then an eye accident put him off the road for a few years, this was the first time we've ridden together since our proddie racing efforts in our early twenties and, as always, I struggled to keep up, difference is this time around I won't be trading the X7 for a LC!
