Carvel, was the New Forest still busy? Been twice in last 2 weeks and found not all the kids go back to school at the same time, spent most of my time on the wrong side of the road.
Was thinking of going back Sunday, but might leave it another couple of weeks.
How many miles can you do on that seat? Looks piles inducing thin.
Nice pics  |

Thanks.
It was completely dead when I was there. Spent ages stood in the middle of the road taking pictures. But I was there in the evening because I had a late crossing so I cant speak for what its like during the day. Nice scenery but its difficult to make progress due to fear of losing a fight with a horse or a cow or something.
The seat is ok if you're having a play but I did 80 miles of motorway yesterday and my arse wasn't impressed.

Really like the shot up the road into the sun, one of those photo's that really captures the moment.
Reason I asked about the seat was the CBR600 is in my first big bike fantasy league. That and a Street Triple, both were lower insurance costs than a Hornet, even though they are higher insurance groups
Was also looking at the GSX650F, the price and comfort look right, but on paper it's a bit lardy.

I was riding in a fairly spirited (it's a 125) fashion, the local wildlife just doesn't care. The ponies are very calm amongst traffic, the cows appear to be off their tits on smack and weed, damn things wobble into the middle of the road and just sit down, they just don't give a shit.
That being said, the baby animals are dangerous as they will just bolt for it, particularly if their parents have gone in front. I arrived at a scene out of Reservoir Dogs involving a camper van and a foal, wasn't pleasant.
These roads were pretty sweet, particularly the "Drive" ones.
Also meant not having to deal with the bottleneck that is Lyndhurst.

There are some awesome roads in the forest if you know where to look. It does get rammed with caravans at the weekend though. We should meet up next time you're in my neck of the woods (ba dum tish!) if I'm actually around and have spare time*!
*I'm getting married in a week...free time and money is not something I've had in abundance for a little while. But things should be back to normal in a couple of weeks when we get back from honeymoon.

Nice one! Should have some days off in September, give you a shout, if you don't mind my aversion to speeeed.
Got my Mod1 next week, got the CBF600 for the whole day, might try and convince instructor we should take a small 100 mile detour
Getting married - Congrats fella! Please parse on my condolences to the bride.....although can the mail order ones even speak english?
Sorry mate, it's only envy. Have a fantastic day + honeymoon! |
