You jammy gits. I’ll be in the office all week.

Might have to go to work on the bike one day, and go home via Matlock. 😉

I also missed the chance for a ride today, but I took a lot of stuff to sell at an autojumble and made enough money to pay for my BikeTrac tracker to be fitted to the bike plus the first years subscription and a new crash helmet. I can't believe how much I sold, so worth the sacrifice in the end. I went with some friends from the old MCN forum and our local one as well so it was a fun day and we all bought each other's junk, as usual. I'll make up for it tomorrow, hopefully. I don't plan to work until after lunch, so should get some miles in before then.

I had to travel, so only 260 miles on the F800 GT this weekend. Having a 52L top box is wonderful.

It's never too hot!

Just put on your bikini top, shorts and flipflops, along with your helmet, and off you go! :D :D :D :D :D :D

To be fair, I don't tend to ride the Ninja much in July - best to wait until August, when it's cooled down a bit - or go our at 7am, back home by 9am.

I did the Windmills of Cervantes last year, and nearly passed out on the way home! I felt ill for two day!

Harley-Davidson big-twins are known for cooking their riders in hot weather.
