Late to the party here but it looks like you made a beeline for the one place you should avoid like the plague!
Yep, London, but had to see Daughter No.1. Jeez, it’s noisy (and I’m deaf!), hot (very much so in leathers!), busy and a nightmare to ride in with cars, scooters, push bikes, buses, other bikers coming at you from all directions. I seriously don’t know how I stuck it for 20+ years
There not being any curtains on my bedroom window, well nothing that worked as intended, I was awake at 5.10 when it was fully light. Caught up on my msgs, had a shower in the worlds smallest bathroom, gathered my gear, walked 1/2 mile to where the bike was parked, saddled up and took a short trip to Putney for one of the best breakfasts in London. It’s less than a 4 mile journey but took me over 30 mins and that’s at 7.15 in the morning. Still, worth it though.
I 've to say many moons ago i used to love taking on the dispatch riders & other motorists for that matter..........a real personal test/buzz for me but a way overpopulated sewer system nowdays.
Yeah, I thought that too. He came in, sat down, opened his laptop and started talking to it; a Skype call I guess. Anyways, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t him, but I don’t think it was, didn’t sound like him, just a doppelgänger.
Yep, but I don’t want it to do the same to me, hence the full leathers etc even in this heat. It pains me to see fellas riding around in shorts, t-shirts, no socks and moccasins. Yes mocassins. I thought only Native American Indians wore them, or Italian gigolos. Still, this is hipster London. ps. It was actually very nice when I rode in my jeans, trainers & t-shirt the 1/2 mile between my B&B-less and my daughter’s secure parking where I left the bike overnight. Bloody hippocrate
Hi Paul, what time are you planning on getting to OYB Aylesbury? Might see if I can come over on the Kwak.
