I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.

It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Great day out, thanks to all involved in organising and running, had a really good day (apart from a minor altercation with some chavvy mare in a clio on the motorway on the way home).

Nah, all fine, was pretty close though. She decided to pull into my lane without indicating or looking, unfortunately I was occupying that bit of my lane at the time, had to cross the white line and almost ended up in the central reservation

Another great day out - as ever it's the people who make it what it is, everyone did brilliantly, thankyou very much :mrgreen:

Unfortunately there's now gonna have to be some time spent attacking the bike with soap and water ...... :80:

Mark, just keep telling yourself that it's envy that forces people to say things like that :wink: ...... though I seem to remember an old advertising slogan saying "you meet the nicest people on a Honda .... " :)) :))
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

So nice to see a few new peeps coming out to play, hopefully we will have you along for more rides over the summer months too.
