    What started out as a 7 day trip turned into an 11 day trip.Loved every minute of it.Thanks to all here who gave me sound advice about a roadtrip.

    Oh my "el cheapo" cage satnav never missed a beat,music from its MP3 player to keep me happy and then the satnav voice cutting in with clear and precise directions.Sreeen was visible too,even in the sunshine.:)

    Heres some pics to give you an idea.

    Shakeys Panigale blasting down the start/finish line at the BSB in Brands Hatch was unreal,ear bursting compared to the inline 4's....(video at bottom of page).:)


    Went on the fast ferry with Irish Ferries and they strapped the bike down well and good,wheel chocks aswell.;)


    Wales was beautifull and the roads were fantastic too,apart from the odd sheep doing a superman off the banks onto the road.:pac:

    Had some fun with a few other bikes and cages on the M40 and M25,and found some lovely places to stop and enjoy the food and pussie on my trip.

    Alot of crashed bikes for sale on race day at Brands Hatch.also lots of dealers there selling new bikes too.Brands Hatch was like one huge party.:D


    Brooklands Museum was lovely too,all the old classic bikes,they get a run out every weekend and theres oil dripping from them all,but thats what lovely about seeing them.:smileee:
    Wisley Gardens was lovely too,very scenic and peacefull.

    Some of Surrey and Wisley Gardens.
    M25 approaching rush hour and that road surface chews up tyres quite badly too.

    Few more of the famous Concorde.Shame that such an iconic plane is grounded for ever now.

    And a few more of the Supersports 600 class at Brands.
