    Have you just bought it? I remember the first time I went out on mine felt so smooth, clean, precise and fcukin powerful!! Everytime I get chance to take it down some B roads nowadays it puts a smile on my face. Although it does worry me on normal busy roads cos it likes flapping its head up and down and its quite easy to be doin 100mph and not even realise!! :)

    You cannot beat the Lincolnshire roads I agree and as you say it's even better when everyone's at work,this is why I like shift work;)

    The roads around cadwell are awesome, when they tell you to reinflate your tyres to road pressures for ride home you needn't bother if you live nearby!!

    Oh YES Caistor High street also called bomb alley.
    What a cracking piece of tarmac,although now the occasional camera van popping up near bully hill top,if you do go out count me in shifts permitting.

    Castor high st is a great road, it's like a racetrack on a Wednesday night although there was an unmarked bike pulling people in a few weeks ago when you get close to Baumber!
    Beware!

    crappy weather here so im not too worried about being stuck in work,
    but then I have been doing that much work on my car the bike has had
    to take a back seat for a while.

    Hey guys,

    No not just picked the bike up had it since March, but having a family with two young sons getting out at the weekend is a bit of a luxury for me. Therefore any time on the bike is a bonus/priceless. Getting out during the week is brill, kids are at nursery and the Wife works full time so yesterday I had a bit of time off owed so as soon as I dropped the little ones off at nursery, it was leathers on.

    I live just north of Lincoln in the lovely village of Welton so my main ride is A46 to middle rasen then through Market Rasen to Willingham Woods. Once I have had a cup of tea there I head back into Market Rasen then take the brilliant roads to Wragby onto Bardney/Horncastle/Cadwell Park. At Cadwell will chill out and watch the track day for a bit, then it's back to Willi woods then home.

    Perfect for me.
