    Going to be warm...
     
  8. See you oakdene, black 749 with my screen name sticker
     
  9. How hot was that
     
  10. Good fun but well an truly cooked filtering through towards and through the dartford tunnel.
     
  11. I'm still here thinking about how bad the m25 will be
     
  12. Was about two miles towards the tunnel, bike gauge was at 105 degrees air temp was 32, my thighs were at roughly the same temp as the sun
     
  13. I'm glad I did not take the little guy then.
    Was it bad again up to the tunnel?
    Last week it had ten mile tailbacks!!

    I woke up to go felt rough thought I'd grab an extra 15 mins .. Woke up checked the clock it was 2.30!! I'm laying on my bed with a fan in Suffolk.

    Given that the 600 is fried in Norfolk I figured frying the 400 was a bad plan!
    And expensive.

    I hate the heat 18 degrees - 24 is hot enough for me .
    Give me snow and cold in the northlands and I am in heaven!

    In moving about , with no air and stupidly hot house I now have a belting headache and feel sick so glad I did not risk it!!
     
  14. How hot was that, even cider with ice did not help!!! Got home 20 min ago and directly to cold bath, next pizza, cider and MotoGP.
     
  15. Disastrous ride home as I made a mistake with my visor choice, for some obscure reason I decided to use my clear visor instead of the tinted visor which I normally use, and could barely see where I was going due to the sun in my eyes.

    Great to see some very nice Ducati's though, especially Jerry's and Andy's 749r's.

    Congratulations to Gary with his trike, who won the best bike award.
     
  16. Good to meet you Steve and Richard, loads of new faces. Sitting on the grass in the sun surrounded by Italian machinery watching all the balloons depart (one had to abort) and eating a large bowl of half-price chicken Paella.. priceless :upyeah:
     
  17. Dont forget my bavarian masterpiece :upyeah:
     
  18. Gary is a great chap so that fab :)
     
  19. yes he is, and I reckon Termi deserves a prize for guessing the winner!
     
  20. Got lots of pics so will post up tommorow
