That's why adventure bikes are so good,you go looking for stuff like that and they're nice on tarmac too at sane speeds😎

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 :obscene-drinkingcheers:
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!

At least you made the most of it and had a little adventure :thumbup:

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....

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! 8-)

Looks like summer has arrived this week, as the kids go back to school :roll:

So, I've taken Thursday and Friday off work to tool about on the bike :obscene-drinkingcheers: 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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. Although the Mrs is away :lol:

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

And you've been kicked out of the cool Suzuki club.

I know where there's a very tempting GS1000
Suzuki should do a Cooley replica GSXS1000
