SuperSports - VS - SportsTourers 
Since this was the first time the Kawasaki had joined us and i took a camera and got some lovely pics thought it would be the perfect time for my first post.
we set of to Hartside Cafe after fueling up. shortly before we reach Hartside Cafe we stopped roadside where i snapped these lovely photos.
                                          We carried along until 
we reached Hartside Cafe where we stopped for a quick brew and a cheese scone, compliments of T2000. We left to oogle some bikes only to find a group of middle aged snobs in flashy ferraris, porches and TVR's. 
We left to follow the blissful roads to Olston and admired some lovely views then it was back on return leg of the journey...
...when disaster almost struck just outside of Darlo as my reserve gauge flicked on so I had to follow T2000 to the nearest petrol station, not realising that Zippy and (as yet un-nicknamed) Adam Kawasaki
 were nowhere to be seen. Having refuelled and waited for what seemed like an hour we doubled back on ourselves for about a mile only to find them pushing the ninja along the roadside. Poor lamb had had an equally low fuel reserve but hadn't realised and had concked out. Ooops. Kawasaki Adam leaped onto the back of the VFR and "zoomed" or whatever it is the VFR does to get some petrol unluckily for him in a £6 jerry can tha
t cost more than the fuel! Not wanting to be left out of pocket due to the credit crunch we cunningly strapped the jerry can to the blackcurrant and I switched bikes with Bungle to bring the cargo home. That stroke of genius turned out not to be quite as genius as we'd hoped when the jerry can decided to make a bid for freedom along the a66 at oooh roughly 100mph and was witnessed later than day still causing mayhem on the road. 
All in all a good ride out was had by us...but we still need a nickname for Kawasaki Adam.
