Mine's only 12 miles each way, but it still takes 45 minutes on average.

Or an hour and a quarter by train. Not exactly a tough choice.

You must be mellowing Ogden - even I can manage Hampshire to Hackney (girlfriends place) in just over an hour, and that is on the barge

Mellowed? MELLOWED??

I've just bought a bike with heated grips, a scottoiler, and less than 140bhp.

You bet I've mellowed. At this rate I'll have a Honda at some point.







(That's a lie, obviously. I'd never own another Honda)

It can happen to the best of us you know. One day you wake up and BAM - you have a Pan in the garage

Er - I should point out that I DO NOT have a pan euro...yet
