A good route Rich, happy to join you on it.
Question is what time at Ilminster services? It's 50 miles, an hour and a quarter from my gaff.
I usually aim for a 10:00am start but can adjust that if you need/want a bit more time to get over?

Meet you at Chepstow shop?
If you want but be aware I can't really predict the arrival time too closely as I might be herding cats.

It's a probable not from me Mr Jug. I'm still favouring riding the M5 early and making my way there via breakfast in Abergavenny or Crickhowell.

It was I who rear ended Goatpants.....
Well this FJR has ABS unlike the one I rear ended Goatpants
The CBR is all singing and dancing, the FJR is like riding an arm chair...
So decisions decisions

The FJR ABS isn't that great. I've had it go on me way before the tyre grip was used up. Still good in the wet and might have saved that accident.

That reminds me, have you had the ABS tested?
