The day started off well enough with getting a much needed service on the Bandit. All the bits that need to slip were lubed and everything else was tightened. After getting a strong warning to replace my chain, both sprockets and my front tire ASAP, I was on the road an hour later to hook up with an friend (Eric riding a GSXR600) in Brampton. From there we headed off to Mansfield to hook up with another buddy John (riding a SV650) who lives in a very rural area with some great roads to play on…and play we did! Although Eric had to leave early (work duties that demanded his attention).

Fast sweepers and tight twisties galore…this was Johns private playland and I will be heading back there soon.

After chilling out at Johns place for a couple hours, it was time for me to continue on and off I headed to finally stop in Perkinsfield for the night. All in all, a great day with about 400km travelled.
