Cheers Simon and everyone who came along. Great company, junction marking went like clockwork lovely empty early morning roads and utterly shite weather.. Leathers resemble a used chamois, half a pint of water in each boot but wallet, phone and camera survived. Just finished washing the bike.
I'll do it again though, but in the dry. B-)

Washing the bike? Oh bu--er! I knew I'd forgotten something.
Great rideout, in my view as a first timer. Good pace, good company, all as said above. Thanks Guys. (*)

Was an eventful day for you ..... LMAO youtube link to follow =))


Thanks to everyone for the day and organising such a long trip, was worth every wet mile lol

Next time I will not take any notice of the forecast as I have never been so wet through - Riding in summer gear in that weather was not pleasant :(( But the company made up for it ...... :ymapplause:

Looking forward to the next one, really enjoyed the day and would recommend anyone attending.

If it's any consolation, we were that wet before we got to Lands End last year, and visibility on the road from Penzance to Lands End was so poor in places you could barely see one white line in front the bike ......... :80:
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Ah! The deep south at mid-summer. Can't be beat.
