Only 140 miles today, But a thoroughly enjoyable day!  :) [size=78%] Bikes dirty now though! [/size] :(
[align=left]Always fancied a 1400GTR like your mate's, especially in that dark metallic green colour. Weighing in at over 300kgs, unfortunately always a tad heavy for me. I went for the FJR1300s at the time, being around 40kgs lighter and then graduated to the RT being again about 40kgs lighter than the FJR. That's a lot of extra weight to push around the yard![/align]

On the way back we stopped somewhere we've passed many a time but never called in. (I don't even know what it's called?) There was canal boats, Bentley's and friendly dogs.

Went on a big ride out of about 30 bikes today. Only about 35 miles to a pub.


It was possibly too many to go in one group but it was fun seeing cars and people giving us a lot more room than normal.


It worked ok but we managed to split the group a couple of times at traffic lights etc.


Quite a few bikes shied off because of the cold as well
I was born with nothing and unfortunately I still have most of it left.

I came to work in the car due to the 'Beast from the East' weather we are having here, just too wimpish to try riding across the sheet ice on the estate roads.


So having RT withdrawal issues  :(

A pleasure as always to be out and about in good company. Interesting to see the amount of snow still hanging around in places but totally different down in the White Peak around Dovedale.
