Thanks Chris, I'm fine. Sorry everyone, had a very late finish at work last night and a 6:00 am alarm call just wasn't feasible. And BT decided to dig the cables up - again - so no internet.

Hope you all had a good ride. I'm off to the seaside now to try and find some breeze.

It was a lovely ride, thanks for organising & leading it Brian.
Was great to meet & chat with our newest members Roy & Neil, plus catch up with everyone else.

Surprisingly it was really good to be out early, I might now be a convert, but just for peak summer... The lack of traffic was nice but the cooler temperatures made the run much nicer.

Out by 7:00, back by about 13:00, quick shower then down to Lyme Regis for pint by the sea, nice way to spend a Saturday.

Hopefully see you all on a ride soon.

Cheers, Rich.

I've just realised that you have "photoshopped" yourself into that final picture!

Just found the new noise that had appeared on my bike during this run, which coincidentally arrived about the same time as fitting my ebay bar end mirrors...hmmm.

Seems the glass had come away from the sticky backing inside the mirror, no doubt just self adhesive foam strips. Taping on the end of handle bars revealed them as the source of the noise, and simply pressing them inwards has silenced them, for now...

So again... KTM not to blame. :)
