    No worries Kev, was a great day out and good to meet up and go for a blast – if you didn’t take off you wasn’t going fast enough! Lol it certainly shocked me when I realised that I had NO rubber on the tarmac! The expression on Dave and Bruce’s faces also meant they shared our experience ha ha

    I’ve subsequently found out it was a French bank holiday this weekend, coupled with the awesome weather no wonder the coast roads were so busy! But good to get out and explore all the same.

    Next time, we will head east to French / Belgium border for some proper twisties and quiet roads. If you liked yesterday you will love that….

    I didn’t take many pics yesterday, so get them up fellas….

    This was my Euro cherry too Kev and my first ride out with my Blade ever, i loved every minute although i was a lot slower than virtually al of you. I'd love to go again but need a lot of notice, if i slowed any one up and spoiled the day slightly i,m truly sorry but i will speed up as i ride my bike a lot more from now on. Losing 3 1/2 stone of useless fat has totally changed the way i feel on my bike, with another two to go i should be on top of the world; we will see. I have Vino to thank for this. For me this was a thoroughly enjoyable day.

    Gazza - glad you enjoyed it mate, like I said, me Bruce and Dave are always out, so let us know if you ever fancy a ride out pal.

    Kev - that's the spirit!! Euro riding is like pringles, and you just popped... Seriously though, head a little further south and it gets sooooo good.

    Gums - dont be daft mate, you got nothing to worry about... And those cans sounded wicked!! And keep up the diet, if it's getting you more bike time then that ain't bad ey

    Villan - watch this space... Lol

    Cheers DV, knew I’d forgotten something when we got home at 11pm Sunday night! Lol

    I won’t be able to sleep knowing the bike is all dirty in the garage…. ;)
