Hee heee! 
Sorry guys, couldnt help it.
Been getting plenty of rides out during the week avoiding the idiots etc you get on Sundays at the moment.
Was bloody hot though, course I just chucked me winter jacket on that I wear when its cooler without thinking just how warm it was. Got to devils and removed the lining then realise I had nowhere to store it on the 996 so had to refit it much to the amusement of bystanders.
Had a laugh at Hawes listening to 3 lads discussing my 996r without them knowing I was the owner. "no good for the roads up here, underpowered, 40 year old technology etc etc" Was ready to leave but had another ciggie and waited for them to make a move followed them at a distance from the cafe and was happy to see they took the Ingleton road Two of em on k3? 1000s and one on a r1 Let em get going then picked em off one at a time well before the viaduct. Dont think thay were best pleased as they never even stopped at Settle where I waited on the benches for them. Silly behaviour really but you know how some people just wind you up. 
Forgot just how hot you get on a 996, the last 5 miles home is all 30mph and the traffic very busy. Watching temp gauge climb right up whilst having to slip the clutch most of the way (14t sprocket needed) is a nightmare. All with the heat from the exhaust burning your arse.
Was a great day though. Ian I sent the same text to a few mates and yours was probably the nicest reply I received.
