Today I did do errands around the Mistley area.
I thought I`d take the Chinese pos and see how I`m getting on with that Air-Hawke cushion.
I am happy to use this bike now and the Air-Hawke cushion makes so much of a difference
After the errands were sorted, it was time for a bacon roll and a cup of tea at the burger van by the river.

Wrabness and to the Golden House.
Grayson Perry was involved in it`s conception and design, and I was part of the team that looked after it just after it`s construction.
now it`s occupied .

Then on home via washbrook/the back roads where the Honley is in it`s element.
Sorry the pictures are on their side, I dont know how to cure that? I`m working on it ? clueless
to small? kin ell! this image posting is hard

Looks quality. Sounds like a day well spent. I am starting to look into getting a throw around bike for green laneing! ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

Keep an eye on https://trf.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=110&sid=38227eed1776a0177471e486494cde06
and also start lurking in the Off Road section on BCF
If you want a green laner, you realisitcally need a budget of about 1,500.
Or, get a dog and mend it.
Or, get an unsuitable bike for less money and bodge it, it will break, eventually, but much merriment for pennies. |

Today I rode the half mile to Morrisons to explore the Whoops section, and a spontaneous 30-plus miles back, just because it's so nice ____________________ CBT passed 02/02/17, Theory passed 21/02/17, Mod 1 passed 10/07/17, Mod 2 passed 14/07/17

Did 50 miles over to Hever Castle yesterday. Was not enjoying the ride over due to suspension tinkering that hadn't panned out.
Traffic was a complete mare too. Roads in poor condition as well. But jeesus, the traffic.
£17 to get into the Castle. Should have checked before. Looked at the car park and it was rammed with people carriers.
Half term / summer holidays are not a place meant for single bikers.
Figured, I'm not paying £17 to be surrounded by screaming kids, queues and blocked photo ops.
So went back home to re-tinker the suspension.
Went out again and did 100 miles down to the new forest. Only made 1/4 turn difference on rear pre-load and found the bike sat on its arse. But feck it, carried on.
Traffic was a mare.
Arrived to find my favourite out of the way cafe by the sea was being demolished and a massive "visitor centre" being built in its place.
Sat on a bench staring out to sea for a while not overly enthusiastic about how the day had panned out.
Jumped back on the bike to head home and found that, although the bike felt really weird dragging its arse, it handled unexpectedly well. It was 7pm when I hit Winchester and I took some proper liberties on the way home.
300 miles, most of them very slow and miserable.
People talk of the fair weather rider, or the summer rider, those that come out for "the season". I think that when it comes to half term / the summer holidays, that's when I pack up riding for fun during the day. It's pointless round here. |

Unlucky. Tbf, it's not just down there. I avoid the Lake District during the school summer holidays, unless it's for an evening ride. If it's any consolation, I'm nearing the point now when I won't be able to take the Fazer out anymore, due to lack of funds. Got two more rides plus BBQ planned, then that's probably pretty much it
10/10 for effort though. ____________________ 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

Popped down for some Fish & Chips at the Poole Quay bike night. Some interesting bikes down there.
Although this things tick more boxes of being car than they do a motorbike. including automatic bear stick, reverse gear, hand brake etc etc. Got lots of attention though:

This one actually had the rear end and engine of a porche:
