It's Out again.

Sunday 3-4-11 and I brought out the Blue Machine for it's first main ride since Nov 2010.
I shot off down to Alfreton in Derbyshire to meet up with Phil my mate who I'm off to France with for 3 1/2 days in June, met up to discuss what and where we are going too.







After our meeting we had a Blast up to The Cat & Fiddle near Buxton (well it would have been rude not too) 2 BLT's and a pot of tea each then ride our seperate ways back home, the only problem was that we both had rain on the way home and yes we both got very wet.

11-4-2011 The wife & I had a run out to Wetherby & yes it rained again, roll on next Sunday, Hope it don't rain then !!!!!!!

It Stays.......

Had a phone call back from the Sales person down in Wolverhampton this afternoon
to tell me he would give me £2200.00 English pounds in Part Ex for the Sprint 1050ST
I was polite to him and said No.
So the ER6-F looks like its gonna be stopping for a while now.
We have decided to change the car instead....

Triumph or Kawasaki ?

Had a photo texted to my mobile from my mate Phil the other day, he had been to the Triumph dealer in Wolverhampton, the snap was of a Triumph 1050St Sprint Brand new £1000 under list price & with all the Luggage, Julian from Triumph is going to call me back on Sunday 23rd with details of a possible deal so we'll see what he comes up with...

Happy New Year 2011

Hello everyone,decided to get the Bike out today, after washing both cars then washing the patio down.
It's the 1st time it's been out of the Garage since November and yes she still Fires up, gave her a clean today as the weather here was a little better with approx temp of +7 deg, roll on April 2011 when the Salt & crap has hopefully gone off the roads & the temperature goes above +10 or +12 deg's & then we can start adding some more miles to the clock again.......come on.....

O no we have Snow in November !!!!

It's offical 'That Winter' has arrived in the Uk with Snow in November for the 1st time in a long time, so the old bike is definately wrapped up & put away in the garage for the winter.
This was taken from my house this afternoon.



The photo below is of Connor, my mate Tony Doc's lad.
They went to the NEC bike show this weekend in Birmingham.

Contact from Kawasaki....

A letter dropped on the mat this week telling me that I had they had written to me and I had not done anythoing about what was in the letter.
I remember something coming through the post the other month.
They have Re-called all the ER6-F's for an Inspection and replacement to do with the Rear foot Brake Lever.
So tomorro I'll be calling my local dealer to get it booked in Next Monday for this to be sorted out before the Road Tax runs out at the end of this month..

Last Ride for 2010 ?

Not been out on the Bike at all this last 3 weeks, the other week I went to Willingham Cafe which is on the way to Skegness Lincolnshire, had a ride out there with some mates.
The week after that the Bike had a Dealer Service etc.
Today 7-11-2010 I had a short ride over to Winterton near Scunthorpe to my mate Tony, frost was under foot as they say so I did not go out until about 11.30am once it had warmed up to 7 deg's.
To my surprise it was not as cold as I had expected, maybe because I went out with the correct clothing on LOL.
The road Tax is due at the end of this month so the Bike may get Sorn off the road until next spring, I've not made my mind up yet what I'm going to do.
I was looking at trading the Kawasaki in for the Triumph 1050GT in December but think I'll wait until next Feb/March to see what the new Kawasaki Z1000SX is like...
