Following on from a post by furyganman...

I spotted a red falco, just like mine, going north on the M5 on Saturday morning, around 10am just north of Worcester... was it YOU?!!

Yep it twas me with the wifelett on the back, heading upto Stoke, was a bit late leaving hence the 'rapid' progress.
Where did you go anywhere exciting????
We went to see some friends, then home 'the back way' down & across to Bridgenorth, Kiddy Stourport & home.
Last leg near Ombersley at the Mitre Oak pub, very very very lucky to spot an unmarked BMW bike on the opposite side 2+2 make 4, within seconds he had come round the roundabout, up behind me & I was ontop of a mobile camera in the layby...........but o' contrare Rodney, within the speed limit!
Bike came alongside, but no flashy flashy !
Was soooo lucky since we had been making progress all day long. :smt019

Yep - that's the best thing to do to the yellow ones

(other than your not-really-yellow one - of course)
