One of three to choose from on the m62 for me.

I don't have a DB killer so may have to put standard exhaust back on. Or just risk it on low throttle. :revrev:

I'll be on the SV as the Raptor is on SORN for winter. Suzy is now fixed, and isn't backfiring at any given opportunity, big hole in air pipe :roll: Although prob for the best as Raptor is like a pair of bricks battering your ear drums, compared to the SV exhaust :-? Look out for an action man on the rack of a yellow faired SV with a golf ball helmet on his head,,,,,seriously :P

OOPS... Got carried away a bit. :blush:

A63...M62.....M18....M180.....A15....and back over the Humber Bridge.

@70 miles i think. Good turn out from here, there were more than i expected.

Sorry i didn't see you to say hello MM, but i think i did spot your bike in the layby @M180/A15, a bit too late to stop.

Well done to all who had the chance to turn out and used it. I know this type of event isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the proposed regulations would affect all of us in the UK, and hopefully the powers-that-be will take notice after today.

That was I. Yes good turnout indeed.
I didn't think they were going to fit us all in on the A63 but they did.

I somehow managed to get a 2 seconds camera action shot on calendar news, the lone yellow SV amongst a gaggle of cruisers :thumbsup: :photo:

Was a good turnout from Hartshead. In fact everywhere, just waiting for me mate Oli to be ont BBC as he got interviewed from Woodhead, as he was leading the ride :mrgreen:
