queen bodecia Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well, I could be persuaded to stay local instead. I was kinda thinking I need to build myself up to doing slightly longer journeys, hence the Harboro/Melton thing. But I also know I'm a lazy cow... So Matlock instead...?

Guest Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Stats for today's ride. Distance 192 miles: Moving time 3 hrs 29 mins: Average speed 53 mph. Maximun speed 96 mph This whilst trying to catch up with a pair of auburn pigtails a little while after leaving Clay Cross. It was, as always, good to meet up with you all. Looking forward to the next one! But I' not too sure about trying to keep up with Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korben Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Had some woman texting in front of me at traffic lights the other day in a MX5 with the hood down. Lights changed and all the cars in front of her moved and she sat there typing away. Pulled up at the side of her and revved the nuts off the bike. Brought her attention back to the road. Can't stand it either mate. Wanted to grab it out of her hand and chuck it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
