I picked up my new bike today from Isle Of Dogs, owner lived in one of those apartments overlooking the thames, even had an underground carpark which was cool. Anyway, i left there with the bike at 8pm & i got home at 12am.
I got bloody lost, riding up & down oxford street on reserve tank because there wasn't a garage in London apparantly. I somehow ended up in Woodford where i got flashed by a speed camera (First time) there is literally 1 camera after the over. The bike isn't in my name so i wonder if he will get the letter?
I was losing hope until i saw the sign for Blackwell tunnel, even when you're completely lost you always somehow find the way home it seems.
I don't know how people can ride/drive to work, waited in the tunnel for ages, i think there was an accident because the traffic had to drive behind a safety van.
Anyway, i picked up a 2003 636 Ninja. I didn't actually think it would be that fast but the extra 36bhp is awsome, would poo all over my R6.
I'll get pics tomorrow.  |

Store st, Park lane, Texaco Selfridges. All within 0.2 miles of Oxford st.
Depending on which entrance you used its an offence to drive on Oxford st. 14 day wait for the ticket if caught.

So you went from the isle of dogs, next to the blackwall tunnel and sign posted to oxford st about 5 miles away, then to Woodford about 6 miles from oxford st and then down the eastway back to the tunnel? Theres only 3 exits from the dogs, ones marked to the city and passes Tower bridge and the other two are marked to the blackwall.
South London monkeys should need passports to cross north of the river.  |

Sickpup, i won't recieve the letter as the bike isn't in my name yet, so i'm guessing the previous owner will send me the letter if it comes? I found a garage in the end, next to the BT tower..
Yup the bike is green & pleased with it , just the speed camera has ruined it a bit now. Really don't want any points as my insurance is high as it as.
She has a datatool & datatag with 10k, FSH, 2 brand new Metzlers, 2003 reg & i bought her for £3,300

Yup, i really hope i don't get points tho. When you get flashed is it always points & a fine or.?
I pulled my first weelie today......By accident. I was pulling out onto a junction & when i got straight i opened the throttle in first to find the bike come straight up then back down, it happened to quick to panic or be scared so it looked like i meant it.
There was traffic in the other lane, must of thought i was showing off.  |
