    I'm up, glorious day already, few things to sort but heading out for 10.30 for a blast with the boys....

    Will be hitting a few roads that haven't been done in a while so should be good ;)

    Been out twice this year on the road as just haven't had the time / weather or love for it at any given weekend tbh.... But I'm really looking forward to today.

    Hope it's not too busy out there but be good just to get out on the old r1 and see the lads more than anything. :)

    Keep ya posted....

    Enjoy mate.

    I found that getting back on the bike after a while off due to work made the ride out even more enjoyable.

    Not that I'd do it again through to choice mind ;)
