'twill be good to see you back :D

[Abyss]

My riding has got alot worse (legally that is) due to 5 months of london commuting, cant wait to get back onto country lanes, i can barly go round a corner anymore (but i can squeeze through that gap at 50 :P)

[valleyboy]

Dont forget you can do more than 30mph outside of London now... some roads even allow you to go over 60... :shock: :lol:

In London, you're not allowed to do under 30 on a bike - even when filtering though a gap 2mm wider than your mirrors, else you'll have a queue of impatient couriers and commuters behind you.

I don't blame you for wanting to move out of London back to countryside. I'd love to myself, but that means finding a job elsewhere and my skills are fairly specialised.

Good Luck - see you before you go.

North? Shrewsbury??? Thats still too far south to be considered north!! ;) :D

[hovis]

[falc]

Ah My Abyss, long time no see. Wow thats a big move but I can see why, should be excellent taking in twisty country roads.

Def. take in a guildford meet as well, we have a christmas do coming up soon so if your still around at the middle of the december or before and try and pop in.

All the best mate :thumbsup:

[Law]

Hope you have fun travelling. Come to the Xmas meals :)

[Ed]

As a S'bury resident, I think this is pretty much right :lol:

[Abyss]

Mate, anything north of Watford IS north. The accent changes and everthing when you pass that bit.
Anyhoo, fair play for realising London aint for you. SOme people come here and hate it but get stuck and dont leave.
Its like a wierd kind of cesspoll/quickand mixture i guess.

Enjoy your travelling if you get to it :D

[Mr Toad]

Sorry to see you go
pop in and say goodbye before you clear off

see you on next years AR :wink:

[Steve W]

Good luck with the move and travelling.

The North starts at the Yorkshire border but you're definitely heading in the right direction... I left London 34 years ago and have not regretted it for a moment. As far as I can see the reasons for staying in London are that it's easier to get a job and the reasons for staying are some of the facilities. The only thing I miss is cultural stuff but the occasional visit helps deal with that. I was down there last weekend and could not believe how busy it was, particularly the Underground at all times.

Best bit was a trip on the bike rickshaws (what are they really called?) - great illusion of speed -my wife had her eyes firmly closed. Mind you, she was screaming 25 years ago when she got on the back of my bike and I hadn't even turned the engine on :wink:
