Bond, do you only ride weekends???

The reason I ask is I very rarely ride weekends for obvious reasons so your more than welcome to meet up with me in Worcestershire which isn't too far and go for a tootle....  ;-)

Thought it odd with the RC8 in the (not doing much)workshop  [wall]

Well, when you get it back if your still available in the week and i'm in the UK would be good to meet up, if only to follow you and listen to the sweet sound from the pipes  :headbang:

Deffo....head up on the A5199 to Husbands Bosworth.  Then turn right towards Market Harborough.  Get in Harborough and head for B6047 towards Melton Mowbray.  Simply the best biking road ever....You'll love it!  And best of all...stop off for a brew/piss/butty in Melton and turn round and do it all again!  Awesome!  :headbang:
