Thats it! Its official, we are now in dark times

Post by menzies3032 »

I realise that I am one of the softe bikers amongst us. But for me the last BSB race does not only signal several months of totally crap TV. But also is when the bike has its pre winter wash and is prepped for the winter, goes up on the front and back paddock stands, battery charger on ...... then there it sits until April.

Why the hell did I tax it on 1st September have not ridden it since 30th August. That was worth while then..... Not!

:(

Just Insured, Mot'd and taxed mine (in that order),plenty of riding days yet. Saturday afternoon cheered up and managed about 70 miles, Sunday was glorious and managed about 140 miles in the afternoon on 99% dry roads and in lovely biking temperatures. Roll on this weekend :D

Yep, Sunday was smashing. Went up to watch about 1000 bikes 'Hoggin' the bridge then went for a spin.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?
