Default FOT, Sunday 16/08

The RGV's itching to be abused.

Any takers?

Usual comments about "it won't be fast, I'll only be riding a 250" apply

I don't really care where I go so long as the roads are interesting and I'm not riding on my own again.

The only gotcha is that if I'm out at all it'll be on the RGV so there's a distance limit (150 miles or so, round trip from SW18 ) and it's gots more twists than the book Agatha Christie wrote the first time she dropped acid.

I shall have to remember that one. My social secretary (ie the Mrs) has informed me I am going to Whitstable with her for a boring weekend of doing nothing. F'in great. I'd just got new tyres on the 7R too...

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday so it depends on what state i'm in on Sunday morning.

The FOT may be busier than normal as its featured as one of "britains best roads" in this months Ride mag. The 16 mile stretch between Aylesbury and Buckingham has 13 places where you can crash, according to the police.

Oh. Bum. No doubt it'll have a police presence this month too.

There are yellow signs up all along the A413 and B4011 saying how many bikers have crashed or died there in the last however many months or years. They're a great hint that you're about to hit a fun bit of road.
