Well, it was yesterday now But ........................ 61 miles in 45 mins 40 of those were on an A road Scary thing is ... I wasn't trying Just making steady progress I must commend all those considerate car drivers who obligingly made room for me And shake a weary head at those, who still stubbornly refuse to move over When they can't make progress I only gave her a "squirt" a couple o times honestly But I enjoyed every millimetere traveled

I was told a long time ago that police motorcycle riders are trained to ''ride quickly'' not fast, apparently there is a difference!

Well done Jood You can be one of my assistants at the maintenance day From the sounds of it there's not much I need to show you @Kc, I always like to "make progress" as the manual recommends @ 66, riding "quickly" is a bit different from riding "fast" But it's mainly about making steady progress And using good observation & roadcraft to avoid situations that could "impede"* you It's better to keep up a steady average than short bursts of acceleration and heavy breaking * other vehicles & road conditions

Well done Jood that sounds great you did all that, well done.

Police riders can't ride fast thats why they have to hide up trees, in builders vans, and fly around in helicopters to collect money from us, too risky

The bike has been in my garage since Sunday, with the battery on the conditioner. The weather in London has been good so far this week. If it wasn't for work I would have been out and about making the most of it
