You won`t end up on a Motorway unless you actually head for the M11 and M25 which you won`t , the A13 is camera infested near Dagenham though , it`s stupid the amount of cameras around there , it`s actually possible to lose a clean licence between the end of the M11 and the A13 to Dagenham . |

Re: EARLY morning rides, road to yourself.
This morning turned into a disaster! Out at the crack of a sparrows trump, roads deserted and dry, no mist, no suicidal wildlife. Perfect!
I was really on it.... every line spot on, every corner perfect, early on the power, maximum attack. Set up a bend near Northwich, hit the exit at 100% throttle. I thought, Feck me, either I'm power sliding like Casey Stoner or................... And of course it was the or! Rear puncture, miles from work where I had to be by 0700hrs. Needless to say, limping in on a tyre with no psi in it, I wasn't a happy bunny! Managed to find a puncture repair kit, fixed the tyre enough to get me home and hopefully back to work tomorow. New Metz Z6 coming up! Pete.

For some reason the most part of the A13 is 40mph, but luckily it was quite busy and very windy so i kept my speed down anyway. Theres also some nasty road layouts along the A13 when you turn off it. The ones for barking and silvertown are really confusing, and i ended up going round the same bit twice to get back to romford. The worst thing about riding in the morning or in the evening are the speed cameras, because i find that i just go a lot faster when there is very little traffic and nice open roads and have to be extra careful. Edit - badger how do you know about dagenham when you live in wales? |
