    I ran the brake light lead down the back of the frame and along the top edge of the bracket cable tying it in place.

    Went for a ride. Barely a 20 minute ride out before taking a break and coming home. Wow I hear you all say ;) but it was a ride that I have been looking forward to for a very long time. The wife had major back surgery in November 2011 and hadn't been on the bike since about March 2011, well that is until today when I took her for a quick bimble up the road :D :D :D

    Don't know who had the biggest smile on their face :)

    They do indeed suit the bike colour mate.
    I had a meeting this morning which finished quicker than I thought.
    So I dashed home and got the bike to take back to the office.
    Lovely day up here today.

    Off out for a run tonight too when I get home.
