4 day road trip to Wales
Just got back from an epic 700 mile round trip to Wales, 2 FJR's and left to right a Honda NC750, Triumph Rocket, BMW S1000R, Kawasaki Z650 and a Triumph Scrambler. None of the bikes missed a beat for the entire trip and did not notice any discomfort on my rear, just the usual achy knees and arms (had a touring screen on). Our route planner did a spectacular job finding the best twistys to make the most of the bikes, the weather was up and down but mainly dry (apart from torrential downpour / flooding on M6 on way back).
I ride a motorcycle, but this guy really shook me up, was just about to pull across out of lane 3 when this guy flashed by (i was doing 70) inside of me, i muted the camera sound due to swear words. The guy was in T shirt and shorts, would dread to think of the outcome had i actually moved over toward lane 2 a second or so earlier !
