Should have come down to Brighton and the Ace Cafe reunionderek badger wrote: Sun Sep 07, 2025 8:44 am More than likely today will be the last ride on the Ducati this year. Upcoming travel for work and the weather changing means the MT09 will be in use again if I'm going anywhere on two wheels.
No idea where I'm going this morning, probably towards West Sussex has the roads are in a better condition than Surrey

Probably my favourite time of year when the weather is like this.
It's green here once enough after annual big storm. That's enough for me
It's ok until incessant rain turns even the roads green.
It was the undoing of my ex-pt mate. He missed the seasons and walks in the woods and going to a proper English pub with horse brasses on the beams and a pub garden with benches. He gave up his beautiful villa in Alicante to come home to that. What a twat!
My v glamorous (and famous in the 70s!) aunt, having lived in Oz then Arizona used to come back on visits and loved going for walks in the rain.Taipan wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 8:40 amIt was the undoing of my ex-pt mate.

If I was that desperate I'd move to northern Spain. Wifey goes to England once or twice a year to visit her sister, it's 3 years since I've been there. I've made a few visits to Ireland but now that won't happen again.Taipan wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 8:40 amIt was the undoing of my ex-pt mate.
