Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Nice pic Chris - I'd smile if I saw that too.
My sourire de jour (smile of the day) is IT'S MY LAST DAY on my current contract. Six months has flown past and I'm looking forward to a bit of a rest. Hopefully I can get something lined up soon but if it takes a few weeks I won't be sorry.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Nothing wrong with taking a short break, I'm waiting patiently to be told to empty locker/hand pass in so I can load the bike up and disappear for a few weeks. Won't really know more for a couple of months, bags aren't packed yet

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Had a first round telephone interview this afternoon so it may be a shorter break than I thought. Will find out on Monday if I get through to the next round.

Bananaman, Bibio, I have driven those roads in the highlands when I lived in Edinburgh. I have also driven on roads in rural New York State and Pennsylvania. The US roads were worse.

As I said before, more than a few roads in Shropshire and around are nominally tarmac but with grass and gravel in the centre and certainly not wide enough for a car and a motorbike to pass, but you are more likely to meet a tractor than a car. I stopped using 'shortest route' option on my satnav many years ago as it will happily send you down those back roads.

We've got plenty of those sort of roads in Essex and I generally take those rather than the main roads. Then again I have a GS not an SV these days. Recently did a road trip in a car in Oregon and California. Highway 1 was fun in places, but much of the time the roads were straight, wide, boring and flat. The interesting passes seem to be closed most of the year and when they do open they are full of road works and people driving massive slow RVs. Thailand has far more interesting routes.
