Dry roads & blue skies forecast, great. So booked my Daytona to the dealers for 6000 mile service as I have not used it since last October. When I went back to collect it at the agreed time yesterday they said it wernt ready :evil: as they was short staffed in the workshop. Not happy. I told their boss I had arranged to meet me mates from IAM for our first ride out this year. He said they would lend me a bike for the day, so I asked for the new Daytona. He says no lol, is fully booked for test rides. Best he can do is a Triumph Tiger. :? Anyways, blast off for the coast to meet the lads. Cant get used to the different feel, but give it fistfull of beans on the straights & eventually get the old bus shifting a bit LOL. Passed a few Sunday driver types & a lorry then came across my first serious corner. Thats when I found out -oh sh*t this handles like compared to my 'tona Got round, speedway style slipping on the gravel and all that. Well chuffed with meself cos I could huv easy wiped out. Pleased with meself I blasted on, getting better used to the Tiger. A few miles later I was starting to enjoy it when a littel furry rodant of some sort ran out in front of me. Well I braked & cut right using all my ROSPA training to the best effect. Then damm if the little ginger haired criitter didn't see me, panick, and turn back -right into my new path. :roll: So with epic skilz I poweslide the Tiger at full throttle & somehow managed to avoid killing the little creature. However in doing so I laid had a path straight into the ditch, & not even I could avoid that. I'd just climbed up out of the ditch when this car pulls over, and this bloke gets out. Now it may have been the shock, but at first I could've sworn it was Guy Martin -dead ringer. He asks -you ok? I look down the ditch at the bike, then at my muddy leathers and cant believe he asked me, so I answer sarcastically "oh yeah!" :roll: "can you give me hoist out?" Cool as mice he says "No, and learn how to ride properly". Then drives off ------Sent from my cheap Tesco mobile using pay as you go-------
