BSB was uber 
Hospitality suite was fab with food and drink laid on all day ... I was good tho as was driving as 'im indoors was getting sloshed for his birthday.
We took the car as we weren't sure about having anywhere to park all our bike gear whilst hob-nobbing, but it was OK and "next" time we do the VIP thing we'll go on the bikes!!
My highlight of the day was getting a hug from James Toseland :swoon:

I saw a mouse ........
..where
Under my fukkin hump thats where .
last friday i got the bike sorted for a Sat am ride out.
Lifted the hump and 3 of the fekkers ran out , everything under there was in shreds, went out for 6 hours , 150 clicks at times , get home, lift hump and theres a smug little bastard looking at me .
I ended up spraying / soaking the bastard with WD40 to get him out .
Today , i checked again anmd theres another bugger sitting there having shredded all the new bags / cloths etc that had been put there last week.
Check yer humps guys , put 2 baited traps next to the bike now .
The little fekker tried to make off with my bike again last night and was dumb enough to eat from my special snack box before he fired her up

Fantastic rideout on Saturday with about 2000 other bikes!!
Joined the MCN\Rider Connect protest ride from Wembley Stadium to Whitehall to try to stop congestion tax for bikes as well as a few other things like being able to use bus lanes etc.
Met up at the Stadium and left at 1pm and they closed all of the roads and gave us police escorts down to Whitehall
Sadly our ****wit PM wasn't at home to hear the battlecry of "BIKES GO FREE!!!" as he'd blagged a ticket for the rugby, the useless misbegotten Sweaty .... I feel I can say that as my mother's Glaswegian

Took delivery of my Street Triple on the 14th. All I can say is what a bike
I genuinely believe the engine is the best middlewight motor ever produced. The torque curve is almost flat from 3k to 12k rpm and the induction noise is to die for
If Triumph were a bigger player I'm sure it would force the Japanese to rethink their middleweight engines, it makes the power deliver of bikes like the R6 look daft.
Took it for it's 500 mile service on Monday and the dealer says if you order now the delivery estimate is June.
Rumour has it Triumph have taken 1700 orders in France alone, and are on the verge of closing the order book until 2009.
Whatever I am totally delighted with it....
