Last night was Carnaval in town and just saw this little pile of rubbish.
Must have been a helluva party.

5 litres of Rose and a 6 pack of HP sauce :D

Blooming heck, even I've been to the Ace Cafe a few times!! I've also blown past there on what was then Screwdriver's RC8, what a joyful bike that was!!

Yes, it was a dream ride. If I had a huge garage, clean licences, unlimited cash, it would be in there with the Superduke R and other bikes. It was just so stable, smooth, incredibly quick with no effort and wonderful brakes. I really loved that ride and thank @Screwdriver for that opportunity. Still a memory I greatly enjoy (along with riding the Superduke R).

It could be speed humps and a 20 mph zone.

Do they still do the Christmas Toy Run?

The first few times I went it was carnage with something like 1000 bikes all riding through central London generally ignoring the traffic lights etc. They got a police escort the last couple of times I went, which was >10 years ago.

Dunno. Thats sounds the same as the southend shakedown. I went once but we bailed as there were people popping wheelies, screaming up the insides of everyone else etc. :roll:
