    PMSL JD - That's probably what Mrs V would say. Whenever I buy any bike related clothing I'm told "don't think you're coming out in public with me wearing that. You can save it for when you're out with your little motorbike friends".

    To be fair I do OK mate, you're right.

    Funny that. I wanted an Irvin pattern flying jacket for years and Mrs Ken kept doing that 'fat chance' snort when I brought it up.

    Eventually she said 'Buy me a sports car and you can have one'. So a year ago last May...

    Now you may be thinking 'Wheres your jacket, then Ken?'

    Yeah, well so am I.

    No the milkman saved your marriage Meg's.

    'cos he wouldn't move out from his mum's house.


    That car was a present to ourselves for paying off the mortgage and it cost me the same as my first f*****g house did.

    Funny old world in'it?

    Going back over to LeMans for the 24hour this September. Best weekend ever and a little detour on the way home.
    Might try get over to one of the Moto GP or the WSB in the Uk this year as well.

    Sorry mate ,, I missed this post .. Any time mate fella . Loads of super smooth windy B roads and if your up for it a few short but crazy country stretches that are proper Irish road racing style roads . We normally spend a couple of hours just blasting up and down those as they are great fun

    Gotta be some go pro footage somewhere

    ill have a look now

    It's the LeMans 24 hour bikes I'm going over too. Was there last year and it is absolutely MAD. More bikers than I've ever seen at any one event ever. But the Bol D'or is ment to be Even more MAD !!!!!
