    got up early this morning to bring the bike home for a wash..it's bloody slipperly out there! Car in front braked suddenly and my front wheel locked up..weaving from side to side. Great start to the ride..then took a corner at my normal speed (not that fast!) and the bike started sliding outwards. horrible..

    and the worst bit is that I got the bike sparkling and by the time I rode it back to the garage it's just as bad as before :P

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    I have been a poof as of late and been going about in the cage, the bike was a bit hairy the last time I was out on it, still I should get out on it as the baby will be born soon and I wont get to play for ages.

    Baby? that's not an excuse to not ride the bike!

    I can also report the blackbeast is shiny & clean again!

    Just back from a Chippers-Shaftsbury-Blandord- Salisbury-Amesbury-Devizes-Chippers run. ;D

    The bit between Shaftsbury & Blandford was a bit grim but some of the other roads are not bad - just take it easy on the downhills through the woods bits but I guess the conditions make you concentrate and pick the best lines.
