Just around the town, which got me so disappointed with the other road users, that I was literary swearing into my lid and decided to make a stop for a bit. Mate then got his 25 quid camera out and made some pictures.
Feck, I got disappointed, three close calls on 2 miles long road, that would have resulted in serious injuries, quite possibly death.

Not today, but was recently, I visited the spot where I died.
I didn't go ploughing through it sideways and upside down this time!

You need to get this painted yellow, with speed blocks. Every time I look at it I is confused because it's the wrong colour! |
Noooooo!!
I'm hoping red and black ones aren't partial to hedges...
I dunno. I miss the yellow one, but I like this one too ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I didn't set out 'til 10am, the plan being to enjoy some of the Welsh roads in the evening when things had quietened down a bit, and it did work out that way. Meant I didn't get home 'til 10:45pm though. Enjoyed the night riding in warm temperatures on a road I know well (A44) on the way back.
Doing the A483 Crossgates to Newtown in the early evening, it was like someone had a bucket of flies and was chucking handfuls of them at me - I think I'll be able to peel the fly-crust off the bike in one big lump tomorrow.
Somewhere in the region of 400 miles covered. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Saw a ray of sunshine and decided to take the bike out for a spin around a few local roads and into the city center to kill some time. Didn't really want to venture much further as the poor thing just about keeps a steady-ish 40mph on the local A roads. Needless to say the sunshine disappeared as quick as it came out.
Oh and I did discover that as soon as I walk into my local J&S i get stalked like a hawk to the point they all sit at the counter and stare at me as I walk around. Was looking at some backpacks and then turned around to catch one of them looking. Decided to purchase some magazine and get out of there, made me feel uncomfortable as hell. Can't even window shop in peace.
No pictures as the highlight of the trip was sitting outside greggs having some lunch but was nice to go out with just me and the bike (no backpack full of stuff) for once and just ride without a destination or time-frame to work to. Since I was only doing local routes I bumped into the same kid twice who on both occasions stood at the side of the road and decided to pull faces and wave at me, headnod earned.
Discovered a range rover nobhead cager who didn't want to let me across into the lane to take my exit, back of a little and fitted in behind it, didn't want the bike squashed.
Talking of squashed I discovered a courier who wanted to end up as a plate of mash potato's. He decided it was a good idea to step into the road front in-front of his parked van and then look in the opposite direction. Potato's. Potato's everywhere.
I think I've decided that if I can't afford to save for a bigger bike and insure it I'm just going to keep paying the training school and taking the GS out all day, poor 125 and it's lack of power. |

was down south sortin a re-map so I took the opportunity for a bimble round London..
first port of call was Ace Café .. womend day or summit .. place was crammed.. a long queue out the door and onto the foot path ..
so went to boxhill.. Rykas .. where I had the biggest cheese burger I have ever had..
then off for a brew at Black heath tea hut .. via Brixton of all places..
blame the sat-nav.
google map of tea hut if of interest

hard work the traffic there.. even on a Sunday .. what you get up here mid day /week.. and Luton has not improved since last time.. though I was pleased to be back.. ____________________ Whatever I post I have no citation and no intention of providing one..
