Not an epic trip, but having picked up the D9 in December after something like 15 years without a bite the sunshine last Sunday was to hard to resist so took a little trip to visit my Daughter in Coventry. M40 was soo boring and i had so promised to behave and honest i wasn't going that quick but when I arrived for me tea and sandwich my little speed freak said "you averaged what" !!!! OK 85 lol but hey ho was fun. (didn't tell her I got lost and stooped for a smoke as well) even better on way back got lost and ended up going home via A45 M45 then switching to M40 via the A43/A422. Now the A45 was fun but the A42/A422 was a total blast, not a lot of tin cans about and a nice piece of road to hone the skills. Would highly recommend that piece of road for a little spin.

Hey! That's ageism that is Matt! If you're lucky and careful you too will be riding your bike at 75. Regarding the original post I think it must have been KMH as I very much doubt an average of 85MPH is possible in our over crowded and over policed roads.

I'm not sure they are as unrestricted as they once were either Martin. But I was referring to 75 years officer. Course I was While you're there I have a Givi Monorack waiting for you in my shed.
