fartface du hommé

Homesafe after diversion to several closed petrol stations - thanks garmin. Turns out I can do almost 40 miles with the light on! So my bike doesn't guzzle thaat much.

Got back about half an hour after dumping the bike off at the lockup. Me and Dan stopped at some services for a coffee as it was hard going, really didn't want to leave but the sideways rain made the shelter of the forecourt useless so had to leave Things got pretty turrible after nottingham, notably freezing and gaggles of arctics overtaking each other made the spray ridiculous. CARNAGE

Cheers for the top weekend everyone

My last recovery driver was like that, and I'm sure he was ****ed up

Dan home too and potentially knackered, just received a text a text that doesn't quite make sense. Either the reader or the writer is beyond shagged.

Ha ha, this trip seems to have broken everyone (and a couple of bikes).

The journey home certainly broke me, I'm fubar'd


Sorry to all I didn't say goodbye to, I was planning to pull up after security but all I seen was bikes and couldn't work out quick enough where our lot was.

I was in a bit of a daze tbh.

Btw, bikers who are leaving ferries, why do you feel the need to race in front of others who are queuing for the same thing? Ar5eholes, both duke riders, says it all really I guess.

I got flashed on the way home at least 75-100 times by cars and lorries coming the other way, my lights are stupid.

I accept they will be higher with weight on the back but if that's how they were intended then the designer needs shooting.

I find it hard to believe that both of Colin's bikes have had enough of him.
