NeilM Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Right.Got to go down to Shepperton Tuesday, back Thursday night. Interviewing for a new station we are opening in Surrey. Is it worth taking the bike?It would be head down ass up both ways.Will it save me any time on the M25 etc.?Other thing is I seem to only be able to do 100 mile max before needing a rest.Mmmmm decisions decisions.

Hoggs Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 M25 will probably be broken so a bike will probably be faster! Depends where you can leave your bike overnight there are a shed load of thefts also of you're not used to riding in London it sucks. And also if you are used to it it sucks. People will try to kill you But the weather is looking nice so.... Quote
NeilM Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Bike will be parked up in the hotel car park.Holiday inn at Shepperton. Luckily that's also where the interviews will be held. So once there it will be parked up till I'm going home.I know what you mean about the not used to driving in London bit.When I was last down for the football a few month back I could have murdered several people and was in the car Quote

Guest Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Oh god......Neil's off again! Good job my associate Six has got this shit under control! Quote

NeilM Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Well decision taken out my hands really.We are having the back garden done and the builders need to access through the garage with the sand cement etc.Bike kept in garage....lolNo body to move said bike on daily basis.Look out for me Hoggs.The clueless one on the M25 The hotel car park looks secure enough Quote
Guest Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The clueless one on the M25:That doesn't narrow it down much Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The clueless one on the M25:That doesn't narrow it down muchhope you dont mean hoggs will be on the m25 im sure she is a north circular type of girl Quote
NeilM Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 South of Watford all the same to me Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 its the bit from the m40 round that really gets crap neil until you get to junction 11 most of the time Quote
NeilM Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 For me.M1M25I think i come off before M40Head towards twickenham Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 no you go past the m40 to the m3 and up that way unless you want to go all round uxbridge hayes feltham and then towards staines you can add almost an hour onto journey time if you go that way Quote
NeilM Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 A30 rings a bell?I will look at auto route in the morning.Its the Holiday inn at Sheperton where i am going.Any advice dodging traffic much appreciated Quote
Tango Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I'd go round to the Chertsey junction on the M25 and go in from there. I'm pretty sure I stayed there a few years back......I think it was fairly secluded if it's the same place. Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 yep either run up the m3 then into shepperton from junction 1 or go to chertsey which is junction 11 and go in that way Quote
The Hitcher Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I work not far from there, your bike should be pretty ok in the Holiday Inn, yes the M25 will be crap, they always seem to put the 40 MPH Queue caution signs on from Jct 14 or 13 until you get past Jct 11 for absolutely no reason most of the time.You can get off at Jct 11 and go through Chretsey or go down to Jct 1 of the M3 and get off at Sunbury Cross, not much to gain either way, although going down the M3 will probably be clearer.

Hoggs Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 The clueless one on the M25:That doesn't narrow it down muchhope you dont mean hoggs will be on the m25 im sure she is a north circular type of girl ha! Yeah thankfully I don't need to venture on to the M25 too often If you filter Neil look out for people opening their doors whilst stopped, always a fun one that! Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 i venture onto the m25 and the harley throws a hissy fit and spits its rear light lens at the cars behind Quote
NeilM Posted September 12, 2016 Author Posted September 12, 2016 Cheers for the help.According to the tinternet.Come off at junct 13 of the m25 n take the a30.Yes Tango i think it will be the same one. Hotel set in several acres of land with conference centre and the usual bollox. Quote
NeilM Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 Cheers for the advice people. Went M3 way.Decent ride really. 4 hours with a couple of numb arse stops. Quote
