Shook out the winter layoff- for the first time in many years I haven't ridden every day in any weather, so felt a little rusty last time out.
I need to put some miles in.
So today I rode up to the Ace cafe, nothing happening, a handful of hardly cruisers and a couple of standard triumphs, so had some kippers, then dropped down to Ryka's at Box Hill.
A few more bikes, lots of Harleys again, where are the specials and sports bikes?

Then round to Swanley, 21st Moto, who didn't have the brake pads I needed fit the little 600, so I lapped London.
The Sarf Circler reminded me that an SP2 in traffic at less than 60 is a complete waste of petrol, there's no fun to be had at all.
And too many average speed cameras to dodge.

I live in the wrong part of the country.....

I feel you pain Tony but you could have gone South and hit some country roads. You have the best of both worlds where you are but still it's never gonna be like Yorkshire or somewhere more open with long roads and not too many other vehicles. London is a hell hole.

First World problems, I guess.

[VTRDark]

More like 1.5 - 2.0 world problems. I hear Africa is doing a charity music festival to donate food to our countries food banks

Yeah & we are still being asked to give them money for water & they have loads of it over there at the moment...!

Dragged them all out again, repaired a couple of tail peices where the rear light fixing tabs had snapped off...

Set to on the rear brake on Big Bird which gave me greif the other week, feker just wouldn't bleed up... Stipped it back down, swapped the M/C...It bleed up in less than 5mins...

Checked the oil on Custurd, needed a top up, kicked the tyres & oiled the chain...

Put them all away & gave up...
