........ He won!
Took my lad to the dealership to pick up his brand new Ducati Corse 848; A couple of his mates joined us on R6s and we hit the 'old' Pacific highway.... what a scream! (Me doing most of the screaming) Todays technology is just gob-smacking - not jealous atall ............ a wonderful day, me and my lad out for a ride together for the first time - magic

Very nice Loz, great you got to ride with your son
I meet up with Rich ( Ducati S2) & his Matt (Ducati 848) for a ride out now & then, i do wait around for them, not.

Last week while in North Devon Bob took me to a Motor Museum in Porlock .
The owner a multi millionaire, had a great collection including.
Ferrari Dino
Ferrari 650
Lanchester, used to have the RR1 reg. but sold it to Rolls Royce.
several old cars, vans bikes, 4 ex GPO Bantams
A 2009 MV Augusta F4 RR 312, now banned from riding it by his wife who saw the top speed he had done on the digital clock when he switched on, 192MPH
A Black BMW with sidecar, rides it to shows & wins loads of rosettes for best bike.
Very enjoyable visit with lots to see.

Nice one Loz, there is a small resemblance ......... you both have bikes.
Good job he got his mother's good looks.

OOohh nice one Loz )) if you get rid of the panniers & tailpack you would be fine, unless of course, they contain all your meds & unctions, elastic stockings and folding zimmer o'course )))

Watch out for the clip ons Loz, as I have discovered on riding the FJ, my gut now threatens to rub off the paint from the tank (((
Clip ons are for young men :0/
Ride safe everyone Johnny

I spy with my litlle eye, a ventura bike rack. I love those things, very handy and easy to use. Looks like very poor weather though grrr

Great Loz, just great

[Lozwho]

Right Cos; The Ventura is hard to beat, (the rack is the only new part I have bought for this bike).... just the right size pack for my knitting and all my medications as Johnny said
Haven't had a ride on the Ducati - my knees simply won't get in that position !
Weather was good at the weekend Tel, raining again now though, hope it clears for this weekend; got a nice long ride planned with the young guns ..... I might leave Friday and meet up with them on the way - don't want to hold em up!
(Thinking of forming a new m/cycle club : The Tortoise and the Hare Mcc)

Just as long as you get there mate, slow & sure is my way
