Yep, is summer here? I went out for a 200 mile round trip and met a couple of Police motorcycles how joined me for a coffee. It was even hot with just a leather jacket on. Put on my winter gear on at first but, got hot just getting dressed.

200 mile trip is a good distance! whenever I go distance I always imagine the engine is making all sorts of noises but of course, it isn't!

I have a friend that is known as Paranoid Pete. If the bike fails Pete, then it is just another thing to fix. Back in the 90's i was a dispatch rider doing a couple of thousand miles a week, so a couple of hundred is like popping to the shop's.
