Does that one have an accelerator pedal + L/R brake for the tracks? I think I may have driven one ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

First time I'd made it out for a while and by golly it was cold. Didn't mind that so much but having not ridden for a few months and with the roads through the villages flooding out nicely, everything seemed a bit sketchy today.
So naturally, I decided to go to somewhere I haven't been in as long as I can remember

Epping Tea Hut.
Was quite busy round there; given we're at absolute megadeath with the Rona I was expecting it a bit quieter but nope, the forest was heaving.
Got chatting to a nice fella that owned this oddity:

He'd owned it 30+ years and had sorted out most of its 'foibles'. Was a nice chat given I've not spoken to anyone for months really. |

^ Wtf is that sprawling, wonky shack thing?! What happened to the neat little tea hut that once was there? Looks like pikeys have moved in! Is it still Bradley running the place? ____________________ 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 an advert. 20 Hotwings for £5.99. At this price it becomes essential shopping, so made an essential journey to my nearest KFC (about 9 miles over Byways). This bike is great in Drive-Thru's, the exhaust exits pointing at the window, blipped the throttle and watched the guy taking payment jump about 3 foot in the air

Below 2 are taken from the the West side of Bulford Ranges in the far distance the buildings are the Airfield and HQ at Netheravon.

I'm mostly where I want to be with the bike now. Long term I need to improve the footpegs and probably rebuild the gearbox with trials gears but that can wait. Also seat needs some sheepskin, those saddles need a layer of padding to be comfy.

First use of a new helmet. I wanted something with a peak, sunvisor and a central tab on the main visor to make it easy to operate with either hand. It's an LS2 MX436 Pioneer Evo, I think they usually retail around a ton but I got this for £55 on sale. Comfortable, comes with a chin skirt to keep your chin hairs warm, visor is pinned for a max vision pinlock (pinlock not included), easy to use and operate. It's loud though, not so much issue on a slow bike but at real speed I think the wind noise in this lid would be really bad. It's more practical off road than than my other road biased helmets, anyone after a cheap but decently specced ADV/Dual sport lid could do alot worse. |

Certainly not close to me, no. I'm just off the Thames in with all the industry - in fact I've just looked and there's not a single byway in the whole of Thurrock
There's a few further out into the wiles of Essex but I'm not sure you'd call it much of a network. |

If that's an actual Byway for all traffic (without some crappy closure order) it's worth sending a whiney letter to your council about it being blocked, we lost a load round here a while back that same way. Council dumped blocks, nobody whined, council had them closed to motor vehicles then due to lack of use. One near me the blocks are covered in little (mostly orange) marks from people squeezing bikes through |

Fat chance with our council I'm afraid
And to a certain extent I can understand why that byway would have been blocked, given the fly tipping at the other end of it is probably due to pi.......I mean...... people with special protected characteristics.
Out walking a while back and picked a footpath route through about 5 miles away. Got there to find....
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5017331,0.3967707,3a,75y,46.12h,87.3t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCqmdc70ODqN-wEYLDnZPSw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Yeah, that's the footpath sign, they just took it down, blocked access and stuck a caravan down on the top of it Cheeky bastards. |
