Me & Guy Martin !!

One of the reasons I'm back on a sports bike is this man. Watching him on the tv thrashing his Hydrex Honda around the Isle of Man really got me wanting one. Anyhoo - while at Olivers Mount in Scarborough this weekend, I got to meet him and I think were now best friends! (Ok, were not best friends, but it was really good to meet him)

Lap of windamere.
Not sure if I've spelt that correctly or not, but you get the idea. Left at 10am, wonderful lunch at 12, home for 2pm. Manic day out.

Oulton Park.
Wow these guys are fast! Even the novice group seem to be giving it some stick - but the fast group is bloody scary to watch!

Rainy ride.
I went for a ride to Bolton last night to collect a pair of trousers. When I set off, the clouds looked grey, but I figured it would be worth the risk. To say I got wet is an under-statement - it was however, another one of those rides that make you feel great about being alive. I rarely broke 25mph, but the views of the sun breaking through the dark sky were amazing. I still prefer the dry sunny rides, but last night was brilliant!

Un-exploded bomb on kingsway.
Its all very exciting at the ironing shop in didsbury. An un exploded bomb on kingsway is causing traffic to back up all over the show.

Yorkshire Dales 2
I sometimes see myself in photographs and think - god I'm starting to look like a middle aged man. Which, to be fair, isn't that far from the truth!

Yorkshire Dales
Went for a run with a few friends in to the Yorkshire Dales. Had one of the best rides yet. The roads are amazing - smooth and winding with amazing views.

Boys are back off their jollies.
As per usual, Ryan isn't in the picture - probly out chasing women and being an uber teenager. However, Sam and Joe are too you to say no (yet) so we dragged them to Southport for the day. Great to have them all home!

Sunday afternoon run.
Had a good run out on Sunday afternoon. The bike is super great on the A roads, but seems to scream on the motorway. I'm still really enjoying it, but when I change bike next time, I'm pretty certain ill go for a bigger cc to smooth it out on long runs. Ended up in Eastham in the Wirral at a biker pub - live music and sunshine along with a ton of nice bikes.

Cat and Fiddle A537
Had a run over the A537 to Buxton this morning and have to say that it was one of the best rides I've had so far. The road is known for accidents due to over enthusiastic riders throwing bikes into walls etc, but if ridden at sensible speeds, its a blast. Stopped at the Cat and Fiddle pub for a break and met up with another biker, who just like me was out for a quick spin in the sun - nice chap. Just got home - shower, shave and then another day at the office. :)

Like new.
We'll, not new, but its bloody clean. I've washed and polished it to within an inch of its life and then started again with another wash. If there are clouds in the sky, this bike won't be getting to see them.

The sun in out and the wife is at the gym - a perfect excuse for a quick run out.

Work work work.
Decided to take the bike to work this morning instead of the car. I can at least look at it through the window while I'm working and make plans for where the next outing will take me. Isle of Man is defo on the cards, but before then, I think I'd like to take a leisurely trip up to the lake district. Oh well, back to work.

Top Gun Rustage.
I'm dropping off laundry for a private jet at manchester airport this evening. I think I might go on my bike and like a scene from Top Gun, see if I can race an aeroplane!
Or, I might just go in the car and stop day dreaming.

Sunshine!
I knew that sky weatherman would be right. Fish and chips - a cold can of coke and then a ride home from southport.

Now I remember!
Riding through the countryside, all the smells, the views, the feeling of complete freedom. Now I remember what I love most about motorbikes. Now if we could just get some sunshine and dry roads, I'd be over the moon!
