sitting about 85 ish sails past a skoda and kinda to late to find out its a traffic branch car :( , so acts all normal and carries on with them just sitting back a bit. a further few miles on and of the slip road comes this cockhead in a Audi A5 cuts across infront of me and goes straight to the outside lane and sits about 90ish at least and the skoda pulls out past me , sits behind mr Audi who then thinks its a race, just about then the skoda lights up like a xmas tree with blue lights :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D .

god i smiled as i sailed past, the little things in life that brings a smile to my face... :thumbup:
most road traffic police don't mind if you're a little over the speed limit, as long as condition are good and you're riding in a controlled manor... :thumbup:

Fresh MOT :thumbup:

I had no reason to think it would fail but it's nice to get the piece of paper. Just had to nip home and pick up the full size plate.

Watching the NOB in the white Audi/BMW/Merc (not sure which it was, didn't look that close but it was being driven by a C**T so it had to be one of them. :lol: )...

Move from lane 3 on the M25 all the way over to go down the slip road onto the A2...But instead of flooring it to get in front of me he slowed down. I couldnt move to the left hand lane as that was occupied by an Artic.

So instead of speeding up I throttled off expecting him to cut in at any moment...waiting, waiting, waiting... Suddenly the indicator* goes off, the brake lights light up & he jinks to the right just & I mean just as the slip road entrance becomes a grass verg...He stayed on the M25... :lol:

No worries NOB the next junctions only a mile or so further on... :lol:


Maybe it wasn't one of the German 3 as it had an indicator in use...


Unfortunatly my joy wasn't to last....

Took a new front cam chain guide over to the mechanic rebuilding my TRX today. It looked all vulnerable with it's head off but it should be finished this next week and I'll be able to fit the new air filter, fork springs, mirror extenders and CNC levers.....can't wait :thumbup:
