Could be back in the game. Got the ZX11 fired up yesterday after a few minutes of faffery. Plan is to ride on Sunday.

OK, so it's a French Tabac/Presse (tobacconist/newsagent) which also doubles as bar, coffee shop, purveyor of phone cards etc, but I think it meets the brief.

I don't know if there's a general concensus,or perhaps any bright colour does the job. There's a quite a good community spirit generally. It's probably in the individual's interest to choose a colour which isn't out of place,as it'll make their own pad look shit too! I think you'd have to work at it to be totally gash. There's one further down painted black,gloomy as feck on it's own,but it still fits in.

Bugger, I was going to swing by the one between here & the freeway this morning. Can probably get a pic of the ZX11 with a Ducati today though...

Feels slightly like cheating as this is ten minutes up the road, but I had just ridden back from Stoke, which is an hour and a bit away 😆

I think this is where Crewe Football Club train - in any case it was handy, being 100 metres from where I went for MOT this morning.

If that's ok, next - your bike with something horse related.

Given our usual weather,one may be excused for asking the question.

Been nice this week,though. 8-)
