Just got to get a new rear tyre fitted first thing tomorrow and then I'll be off for a days ride up to Manchester through Wales. Aiming to get to Ducati Manchester before closing time and then check-in to my B&B just up the road. The group leaves Ducati Manchester for Loch Lomond at 6:30pm on Friday

I've got a couple of 2l fuel cans and my sat nav wired in to help me find petrol in an emergency ... and an Air Hawk inflatable seat pad to ease my arse!

You need to set up an "in-motion" re-fuelling rig from a MS12 or something .... like a fighter plane and tanker combo
