A long day.

[Jelly]

So the last couple of weekends I've been working, I booked this weekend off of work so I could go out and play on the NC. All work and no play etc etc.

I decided to go for real good day out on the Saturday, so with sandwiches packed, a bottle of juice, a flask of coffee and a pouch of baccy I set off at 7:45 for a place called Stockbridge in Hampshire only using nice twisty roads thought the countryside.

Stockbridge makes a good photo opportunity for me as it's also my Surname.

I had arranged to meet my mate Bob and to see his new Bonny.

A great day was had by me on ether NC, it was dry, sunny and relatively warm.

I never had a doubt about the NC being the right bike for me, and yesterday just reinforced that, I enjoyed EVERY one of the 315 miles I did, I got home about 17:30 feeling tired yes, but also totally exhilarated.

It had 955 miles when I got home, so just to get it over the 1000 I 'had' to go out again today for another few hours. Now it's tucked away after having a shampoo and polish, all ready for next week!

Did I mention that I just abso-bloody-lutely love my NC?

Like your riding suit and boots. Riding is what it is all about.

Thankyou, the jacket and trousers, sorry, pants cost me 80 quid, 135 bucks and they both work a treat.
The boots cost me another 75 quid, again, really waterproof, totally comfy and loads of protection, you don't have to pay big bucks for good kit.
I have a pair of Sidi boots too which I use in the summer with leather strides (pants again), the boots in the pic are for winter as they are really warm.
As you can tell I'm not a great lover of spending money but I did treat my self to a new lid when I bought the bike, I got a really good deal on the new Shoei Neotec, so far it's proving to be a really good lid.
