Exhausted?...

Take me to your leader.

A view up the pipes of one of Yamaha's finest V-twins - a 2006 model MT-01. Not quite the same 'phwoaarrr' factor as a V-Max, but close.

Went out for a potter today, and ended up at Rivington Hall Barn, just north-west of Bolton. Rivvy Barn is a mecca for bikers on Sundays all year round - but the sunny weather brings out the shinier and more exotic bikes, so it's always worth a trip up there on a fine summer's day to see what's on show.
