Went out at 9 this morning and it was bloody chilly :thumbdown: Still got my jacket lining in. Was going to go out earlier but then the feels like temp was 7C.

Did a big ol' Essex/Suffolk loop of 130 miles, sun came out for the second half and it was a good ride all in. Loads of bikes out and loads of sodding cyclists too :obscene-birdiedoublered:

As I was close on the way home I dropped in for a strafing run

Did a search for whereabouts I could find a massive anchor, but the nearest to me is a replica of the Titanic’s anchor in the centre of Dudley, and I wasn’t wasting a sunny Sunday riding over there.

So it’s just more photos of the English countryside beneath blue skies and white fluffy clouds.
Maybe it’s my age but I do really enjoy wending my way through roads that feel like they haven’t changed in years, with hardly any traffic, on a bike that sounds, looks and performs like it’s from another age.

Fuck. They've been sitting along Embankment quite a bit, usually just after Temple. FPN or a meeting with the magistrate?

You passed me on the Highway, I doubt you'll have seen me but I was on my R1200RT two-up. I think I was on the hatchings whilst you were splitting lanes 1 and 2.

Prolly reports of a dangerously loud Ducati being ridden in an antisocial manner.

These people need taking off our roads. 8-)

I'd been following a food delivery guy on a scooter who was tying a sportsbike in knots all along the highway and passed the tower to the roadworks . Very funny. Thought i'd have a listen to the exhaust in the near empty tunnel... :hmmm:
