Had a lovely ride down the A6 but nothing too new in that as I commute on it anyway. *loads* of weekend bikers out today though.

An awful lot of 'summer' riders out, more like. Bearing in mind I used to be an all weather rider, it amused me how some of those out today really needed a refresher course on how to ride!

I didn't wobble once Even when halfway round a corner and there was a massive bike sized hole in the road!
This also appauled me, it rang true as to why Peg is selling the Z, absolutely shabby, badly maintained roads, where there were temp lights every decent stretch for good meaasure! Whats the pleasure when all you get is rough riding.

My bike needs an MOT and I'm still hobbling and in pain after foot surgery last November. So done 200 miles pillion this weekend. Lots of summer bikers out in Essex today.

Talking Re: AAARRRGGGHHH I want to ride my bike!

Been out for the last 2 weekends and am out for the next 3! But the sun was shining today and the roads dry so went for a 'quick' blat round the coast road. Lovely to be out in the sun and not freezing. Even got to wear my summer gloves!
