Today I managed to notch up about 250 miles on the FireBlade as Dave and I headed the very long way to Enysham in the Cotswolds. The day started off pretty badly as I managed to pick up a parking ticket whilst I was having a morning coffee. My own fault. I parked on a double yellow line on a side road and the only parking warden working a Sunday in North London filled out the relevant paperwork. I'm going to appeal if only to spend the actual money the council will be getting from my bank account. £55 still stings a little though.
The 'Blade ran really well, but there appears to be a high frequency vibration from the front of the bike. I'll look into that when I have some time.

As you can see from the picture above, there are still lots of bugs about. On the homeward journey I hit something so large that it pretty much blurred out everything on the right side of the visor. Bit of a shock really, but thems the breaks. I survived, the bug didn't. Man 1 - Bug 0
All in all it was a good biking weekend. I got out on both bikes and met up with some friends but looking at the calender, it's unlikely that I'm going to be a able to do this again before next summer. Next weekend is the BSB at Silverstone so that may result in at least one long ride, but until then, its a commuters life for me.
