Digging out the KTM

After two and a half months in Spain finally back in the UK and picking up the SD from storage. Renting out our house for the next year so picking up the bike to go on a week of hooning about the UK. Need to find a place to live for the family but this is priority! Wanted to book tomorrow at Brands Hatch GP. Klinky is there with No Limits but I think it's a bit tight and I have a few things to do. Bad timing. If only it was the day afterwards.

As a father and a husband I must say, love the baby carriage parked next to all the bikes. Truly warms the heart. Awesome!

Love that pic of the tot on the creeper!

Have fun dusting her off. Nothing better than coming back to the bike after a hiatus. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the bike faster.

Just load up and come down Bic. 99% sure there are still spaces so you can just pay when you get there.

Craig! Bummer!!

I just arranged to meet up with a friend for lunch and have a well deserved catch up. I need a place to stay tomorrow night as well so I need to do this.

Next time.

Spotted, crawling out of Cobham services looking slightly concerned about the police X5 patrol car you were going to have to overtake....

Bike looks and sounds very purposeful. I leaned out of my car window like a meerkat when I heard the rumble!

Thought the red writing on the calipers was abit tarty though

Ha! I remember that moment as I got stuck behind the copper at the slip road. Thought I was going to get stuck behind him on the motorway and was trying to devise a way to get past before he got up to 70. But then he turned into the fuel bay and I was free! Where were you? in the car park?

Those callipers are aftermarket M4 monoblocks and that's just the way they come - with red lettering. I've often thought I need to paint letters black, maybe I will do it this week.
