Only other nav I've ever known that bad is Mercedes-Benz COMAND - brand new black car and routed down a track not fit for tractors!Supermofo wrote: Thu Aug 10, 2023 9:19 am This started in a not to long ago surface dressed road, should I turn aroundNah, say's it's only a mile. Surface dressing turns to goat track
. But I'm here now 700m to go. With 400m to go the road turns to this
Rolled back into the garage about 5.45pm with a massive smile on my face and a need for a cider. That's the way to spend a day off![]()
At least you made the most of it and had a little adventure

I did venture down this road. I turned back not because of the dirty, loose gravel, oh no, but because of my irrational fear that there are Grizzly Bears roaming in the Esssex contryside...

Nah, they are just the Basildon women. Pretty harmless unless they've been on the Prosecco in 'Spoons....Taipan wrote: Thu Aug 10, 2023 1:04 pm I did venture down this road.

This is Essex, where the men are men and the women are glad of it. We just roll the big rocks out of our way, not pussyfoot around them!Yorick wrote: Thu Aug 10, 2023 1:47 pmThat makes our trails look dullTaipan wrote: Thu Aug 10, 2023 1:04 pm I did venture down this road.

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
Looks like summer has arrived this week, as the kids go back to school
So, I've taken Thursday and Friday off work to tool about on the bike
Mrs is going to Spain with the girls Thursday evening so I'm on school runs both days but means I have 9 till 2ish so should be able to get a couple of decent rides in.
Just need to think of somewhere to go now. My brother is taking Fri off as well and going to Lakenheath to watch the planes on his Z750, so that could be cool, although not sure I'd hangaround too long there as supposed to be 27-29C so a bit warm for bike jeans. Thursday I might just meander up to Bury St Eds maybe and loop back via Duxford.

Don't go in any RE dealer's, you'll end up buying one, it's a mysterious fact, I've read about it.

Re: GSXS 1000 - Mofo's Gixxus
I have a very strange attraction to the Hunter 350, no idea why cos it's slow and probably crap. Luckily I'm far to cautious normal to do anything silly.

I'd come out and play, but sadly I'm trapped at work for the rest of this week.
