    just went for a ride!

    1000 miles, 4 states, on my new toy, monster S4R (yea yea i know its not an AT)

    left atlanta early and went for a ride thru the mountains of nth georgia, tennesee, sth carolina and nth carolina, bike woz excellent even comfy, did deals gap, 316 turns in eleven miles, kinda fun but a little slow!

    anyway a couple of pics

    i protest the boston tea party (or how to make friends in the USA)


    havin a rest on the chorahela pkw, 120 mph sweepers and no old bill


    my mates and the bikes at the highest point


    contemplatin the meenin of life at 6053 ft


    the group, nancy fzr600, mike sv650 (standin) steve prilla futura, me s4r (sittin) alvin r6 (white shirt) laura fz6 (the missis) and stacy zx636 (girls name but you wouldnt tell him that!)


    two things i leanred, dont get your knee down in jeans at 100mph, and always always take two cops with with you if your ridin!

    link to gap vid (its a bit slow to load but worth it http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=meandrick

    i paid 8000 bucks for the 04 s4r with 325 miles on it and every extra (inc arrow pipes) wich is pretty cheap! fun bike too!

    What ya got ?

    Im tempted to cash in on the Diablo fund, and sell the current TVR in favour of a Saleen S7 or get a Saleen Ford GT as a stablemate for the TVR
    The Wife wants me to get a VIPER.


    Wot you then Fat Bloke ? come on .. tell all..
