Biking Road Names

[The Shaggy D.A.]

Had to go back to the guy's house I bought the YBR from, as the wife had left her umbrella in his garage. By the light of day, I noticed the road names of the area...

Northampton way isn't it? I seem to remember a programme about the naming of those estates some years ago.

Was there an old motorbike factory there or something?

There's an estate near me with loads of aircraft related names because of the old RAF base that used to be there.

The bike training school I used was on a road called 'The Ride'.
