Unusual trip, too pressed for time to ride all the way, but it worked out well. Visited the plot of our new house near Perth, then visited my parents in Newcastle before flying to Pisa, and on to Florence.

Thursday night in Mugello











sightseeing in Florence

met Scott Reading











committed



Scott









First Lap



Last Lap, so close, best race of the year by far



pitch invasion



Flew back to Newcastle, then down to Nottingham .. coffee stop in Bernard Castle



Then we got to meet baby Isla, grandaughter number 2

We then headed home via Grasmere, Loch Voile, and Glenshee.

Hated riding in middle England - constant 50mph speed cameras and average speed of 38mph. But A52 from Bradford north was great, as was Kirkstone Pass and the A7.











super food





riding in Scotland was beautiful as always .... now we are back in Trinidad with memories to savour.

Not in the least bit envious.........not feckin much!!!! Great photos of some stunning scenery and Marquez with his elbow on the deck

Scott Reading was generous with his time, we asked him what he thought of Marc Marquez, he was very open and said that he - Marc - was challenging them all to raise their game to be at 120% or more all the time ... but "you need more than an RCV1000R (privateer spec) to prove how hard you're trying".

Jorge Lorenzo made young Marquez prove how hard he is trying in the race on Sunday.

What a trip! Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
