I have borrowed a friends camera for the week so i took it out with me on my ride tonight. Prize* for the first person to guess where i went

*Prize may or may not constitute anything tangible, if in doubt assume the walls of reality are tumbling down around you and assume the position

Night riding rocks! Although the wet, cold ground can make cornering a little scary at times. Last time I went for a short ride as far as Tower Bridge after the late shift at work. Looked amazing at night especially crossing from south of the river to the north side as you can see all the buildings in the city lit up (the gherkin etc... Laughing ).

Anyway, I guess that you went to some park in the far far east end of London (can see Canary Wharf in the background). I am probably wrong though. Laughing

I was thinking Greenwich park (I remembered Layer Cake), but then you said it is about 10 miles from Canary Wharf, so knew it couldn't be.

Lonewolf:
The hornet will be getting tarted when i have the money, so most probably January when my next student loan payment comes through Razz

McGee: If you cant find the pic it never happened Razz

Luke: Yea i would be slightly annoyed... But even more so at the estate agent who sold me the property when they failed to mention bikers had been meeting on chelsea bridge for what? at least 30 years? Surely before you spend the millions those flats must have cost you do a little research into how to area is at nights etc. My argument is that the chelsea bridge meet was there decades before the flats so fuck em. Also i hate the way it was done with fucking police giving tickets for parking on the pavement, taking the licence away from the burger van...

Dident have the stones to out right say Bikers are banned from meeting on chelsea bridge... no just do it the underhanded way...

EDIT: Terrible Editing Mo, Show yourself out... Smile

Noticed that view straight away! Mind you, I'm going to miss London this christmas without my bike (anybody fancy riding a ZX6R down the A1 from edinburgh to edgware - really it's idoitproof, it's just down 1 ROAD with no turnings (technically no turnings from the A1 slip road at musselburgh to the A1 turn off at the apex corner where i dive straight into colindale.)

Seeing that people are photowhoring london, any guesses where I took this

You rode down whitehall, then onto victoria embankment, carried on heading east near tower hill and then stoped at what? st pauls?

Correct, down the embankment, did a U turn at tower of london (illegal, yes, but at that time of night, who cares), back to St pauls, high holborn, into covent gardent through drury lane, up Tottenham Ct Road and into camden and back to golders green.

Well worth it. Just don't go onto regents street. You'd STILL overheat during winter!
