    Well, despite the fact it's pretty wet out there right now - it's meant to be drier tomorrow than Sunday. I figured I would head to Wessons for 12.30 to have a spot of lunch and then maybe just do a short cross country run to Tenterden or Rye.

    If the weather is pants tomorrow and I change my mind I will post up!

    The fog is lifting a bit so at the moment will stick to the plan of getting to Wessons for approximately 12.30. As Tom says - no rain and not meant to be any so that's a good start :).

    Lol, I posted it late last night so at the time tomorrow was Saturday. Although now I am just confusing myself :confused:. However, by tomorrow I meant Saturday which of course is now today until tomorrow when it will become yesterday ;)

    Great to see everyone at Wessons today :D. Also a nice little blat over to Rye for what was going to be 3 of us but ended up 7 of us. Wind had definitely picked up on the way back causing a bit of a moment when found myself on wrong side of white line. Reckon made it home just in time though, weather beginning to look dodgy.

    Had a great ride today, worth getting the bike filthy for:lol:

    Only fly in the ointment? My rear tyre.

    I think it started to lose pressure somewhere on bluebell hill and then completely lost pressure on the M2 :eek:

    Scariest thing ever as it lost pressure right as I got on to the bridge section just before J2 and the cross winds were so strong that it felt like it was going to spin the rear round, how I never lost it I will never know, even more so how I got the bike home!! Luckily I live 3 mins from the M2 so I just nursed it home so gently.

    New under crackers time, coz I almost :poop: myself :giggle:

    yep i wanted a final few minutes of fun but yep even at that speed i could smell my clutch and in those cross winds trying to line up that corner at ### mph was interesting .:D they were pretty smooth riders and i had to wait a while until i was happy i could get passed without having a issue :rolleyes:.

    Really enjoyed seeing so many out :thumbsup:

    Cant say I was cold at any point today anywhere on my person :) ,,,,,,,,,,,, funny though, Tom after you talking about the lube for the zipper thingy, I recall thinking I know there should have been a tube with my jacket but never found it, well till I got home when I found a spare inside pocket that was like Aladdin's Cave, huge, had the all instructions and a big solid tube of lube :) all in a plastic bag, and never even felt in in the jacket, DoH!!!

    I know Phil, what worries me was that at times we were pressing on a bit. If it had let go at some of the more twisty parts I would 100% have binned it. I couldn't believe how hard it was to control as it let go on the M2. Ah well, will get a new one on in a couple of weeks. Actually looking forward to getting it on the paddock stand to see what has caused it to go so fast - other than a lack of rubber :oops:
