Guildford to Leatherhead to Bognor Regis and back. 100 miles
Started out partly sunny, but quickly turned grey and mizzly. Ride home at 5pm was dark, full of road spray and fewer lairy overtakes.
Visited Polesden Lacy for a brew and walk around the gardens / borders of mud. Including their "spectacular" winter gardens which were spectacularly shit
Being facetious / unfair. Its actually another very good National Trust site if that's your thing. But obviously better in summer.

As I approached entrance to Polesdon, instantly recognised it as having been there a few times doing a green lane next to it.
On the way out, passed Steve Jordan Motorcycles. Bit of legend down here but didn't know exactly where it was, do now. Might be dropping a shock off to them for rebuild if I feck it up myself. I certainly won't be doing the Nitrogen refill, but hoping to find a garage closer that will.
Down to the olds at Bognor for some more tea and a natter. Splendid hoonary on route.
Ran out of bravery on the wet roads, but still enjoyed it.
Roadsmart 3's are not as good in cold/damp as I remember PR4's being. Front moved a bit in the bends when pushed. But they are 6k miles old, so had the best out of them.

Hasn't punctured it (miraculously). But was in vertically at 7mm. So am a little concerned of loading tyre.....but sure I'll forget about it after a while
So yeah. Enjoyed the riding (albeit a bit damp). Can't wait to have some sunny(ish) dry(ish) days before Christmas hopefully. ____________________ Current: 2014 GSXR-1000 L5 + 2013 Triumph Street Triple + 1998 Honda XR250R -- Prior: 1990 Suzuki TS50X, 1988 GP100, 1998 Honda CG125, 2011 AJS JS125-E2 (Jianshe JS125-6A), 2000 Suzuki SV650S. |

Nymans was busy.

Mad busy

So left and went to Wakehurst.....that was foggy, mizzly and busy. So binned that off as well and came home.

Food was great, coffee superb.
Did enjoy a lot of the ride, because it was mild. But nearly dropped it at 10mph sliding sideways at a roundabout 10 yards from home.  ____________________ Current: 2014 GSXR-1000 L5 + 2013 Triumph Street Triple + 1998 Honda XR250R -- Prior: 1990 Suzuki TS50X, 1988 GP100, 1998 Honda CG125, 2011 AJS JS125-E2 (Jianshe JS125-6A), 2000 Suzuki SV650S. |

Pushed out the garage, then a couple hours later pulled back into garage...ha ha ha...cannot ride at the moment as had osteo pummel my shoulders (getting bike back into the garage was a bit painful), though my lifesaver move has now been restored...won't be long till I'm back in the saddle for a ride out.  ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

Out for a couple of hours looping around local A, B and single-track roads just for the joy of it. Dry roads, fairly mild air and the Kawasaki on song. Considerate car drivers, and a good few bikers out and about too.  |

110 miles

Enjoyed the relatively empty roads and mild (11c) weather. Past 3pm and the temperature dropped enough for the roads to seem a bit greasy.
Glad I went, it was needed  ____________________ Current: 2014 GSXR-1000 L5 + 2013 Triumph Street Triple + 1998 Honda XR250R -- Prior: 1990 Suzuki TS50X, 1988 GP100, 1998 Honda CG125, 2011 AJS JS125-E2 (Jianshe JS125-6A), 2000 Suzuki SV650S. |
