BAD...

1) Picked up a slow somewhere between Friday and Exeter meet. Was handling like an oil tanker.

2) Old girl still overheating in town and slow/stop/start situations.

3) Didn't see Steve's cock.

GOOD...

1) Nice to meet you lot again, and some new faces.

2) Most excellent egg / bacon roll.

3) Brilliant ride home with very litle traffic. 3227 thru to Taunton, M5 to WsM, A370 to civilisation.

4) Temp never went over 75 and was 59 occasionally. Also managed 69 mph a couple of times.
