Try the B7076 / B7078 that I'm always banging on about . See if you can spot the extra wide grass verges bisected by unusually long driveways and the gigantic road signs . https://www.roads.org.uk/articles/b7076-and-b7078

I need to turn my attention to mine . It runs and rides great but I limped home on one cylinder when I took it for a long run . Probably just the usual float valve issues despite the big inline filter I fitted . As soon as I'm satisfied that it's reliable I'll flog it .

Spent the morning fiddling with my new bike . My Biltwell grips arrived so I fitted them and by the time I was finished it was too hot to do anything . This evening I went out on an aimless ride on empty roads and took a few pictures on the Burton Dassett hills .

Whenever I see members of the traveling community and their fat children creating chaos in MacDonalds they have usually got a wedge of cash the size of a brick , so I think Mrs Tiggywinkle is probably off the menu these days .

You would have to be absolutely starving to bake a Hedgehog in clay complete with all its guts and then try to eat it . The thing has hardly any meat on it and it eats slugs and worms . I suspect this concept might be a rural myth .

Given the source of the main ingredient I would have thought Welsh Cakes would have been more appropriate .

Think I'll check out the custom bike and car show at Alcester Rugby Club on Saturday . Only £2 to get in and straight down the A46 .

Please make it stop ..

Well you'll just have to try and imagine it running then .

I didn't know it was called the Mach Loop back in the Seventies but I was with my family walking alongside Llyn Mwyngil when a Blackburn Buccaneer came flat out overhead at zero feet . I didn't hear it until it was upon us so it must have been fast but subsonic . The best bit was afterwards when for nearly a minute the air was filled with whistles and crackles and all kinds of strange noises . An amazing sight .

Banbury to Shipston has some amazing views of the "Rolling" Oxfordshire countryside but the surface is horrible .

Got up and headed to Coleshill Bikers World for a Breakfast Batch . Then I found myself in Stratford upon Avon followed by Banbury and then I noticed that I was in Shipston on Stour . Half way to Oxford I veered off towards Stow on the Wold and ended up in Pershore . A quick sprint along the A 46 and here I am in Coventry again . Would it have anything to do with this ?

Best cleaner bar none is Petrol .

I think I'll nominate myself and not for the first time . I thought I'd squirt a little WD40 into the throttle housing of my new Harley just to see if it freed up the throttle action a bit , which it did . So off for a lovely ride in the countryside and I spot a bloke pushing a 125 . I indicated left and stopped to help but he just ignored me so I indicated right to carry on my way . Ah , my hazard flashers are on , don't remember doing that . Click both buttons* and nothing happens , shit . So I had to ride home again like a bloody press bike in the Tour de France causing all kinds of confusion among the car people . Unfortunately I also rang Mr Frog who was having his dinner , sorry Ian , to find out where the fuses live . Anyway , although the WD40 might have been the cause , I don't know what the cure is yet because once I had the side panel off the thing stopped flashing . Oh well at least I know where the bike's brain lives . It's like a medium tablet in its own little tray , very tidy . * Don't ask .

All worth it by the sound of it .

Don't forget to change your profile now . I've already done mine .

On the other hand , my GSXR 1100 has presumably not been ridden since I sold it four years ago . A DVLA check shows it untaxed and with no MOT . It's a mystery to me what happened to it . The guy rode it away alright . He was only a little bloke and the back end was raised a bit because I put a GSXR 1000 shock on it . Maybe he thinks it's an investment . Who can spot Bob ?

Sneaky f*****s !

The world is full of ex bikers . There's no shame in it . It's only a relatively small band of nutters like me who make some kind of life long obsession of it .

No

Change your bike for something completely different ( And bigger ) You've done the wizzy race rep thing so try a Harley or an Adventure Bike or better still , buy a scrapper and build a custom bike . This life choice has many facets and like anything else you don't want to get stuck in a rut . There's very little you can get out of a CBR6 that you haven't got out of it already .

But if you bend the long one you will effectively shorten it .

Quickly detachable , along with the excellent semi hard luggage system and the screen . I just wanted to ride it home in " Lean " configuration .
