This is an event held annually at my local town in aid of Midlands Air Ambulance. Despite the weather forecast predicting horrendous showers it turned out warm and sunny! We had Carl Fogarty (winner of numerous World Superb championships and rode for Ducati team) leading the ride, along with Richard Hammond from Top Gear, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran) and Mike Tindall (Rugby player and husband of Zara Phillips). I got there early and was lucky to get parked near the exit, as there was an unprecedented number of bikes arriving. I was in the group behind the leaders (including celebs) and didn't see anything of them although we did have to stop at the first roundabout for a photoshoot! I only saw Carl Fogarty when we parked at RAF Cosford when he rode back past me doing a wheelie .

Wolfe still got loads of admiring looks and comments, and I did actually see another yellow Scrambler going in as I was coming out, don't know who it was though.

Ah he was on the fast one then . Glad you all had a great day. Been rubbish here all day but was at work. A friend has said he wanted to get one. Maybe that will be his.

Hammond describes his bike as 'looking like a melted wellie' but it's his daily hack

At the mo it's a big improvement on the other one! I suppose it's never going to be too plush as it had to be lowered so I have to make do with what little padding I can get, but it's not like sitting on a brick . Time will tell on a longer ride , my trip to Anglesey on the stock seat was rather a feat of endurance

Did you get the Gel insert fitted ?

Yes it does have the gel insert otherwise I'd be sitting on half a brick lol
