What did you do WITH your bike today.

The A10 between Littleport and Denver has always been astonishingly bad, especially the south carriageway as you approach Littleport. I haven't been that way in a few years, but I used to like that bit of road. As your heading north and you pass the burnt out speed camera, you feel you can open up the throttle and let the bike off the lead a bit. It's best on a summer's evening when there's almost no traffic. That road has seen a few wild rides.

 

I had a great ride home from Woodbridge this evening. Amazing scents hanging in the air - cut grass, mayflower. Being out riding on a warm evening is hard to beat.

 

Love the landmark.

 

In an ideal world you would pull over to ask a local for directions...

 

Scuse me, could you direct me to the black horse?

 

Sure.  Carry on down the road until you come to the second chopped down average speed camera pole, turn left straight after it and follow that road for about a mile until you come across the burned out speed camera van, then turn right.  Black horse is on the right by the burned out gatso.

So you've been to Wiltshire then? Never seen so many torched gatsos as there. Shame Oxfordshire is so law abiding as its overrun with cameras and stupid 50 mph limits everywhere. Very Green though.

Took the Benelli TRK702 loan bike I have out for a spin. It reminds me of the Kawaskai KLE500 I had, light, fun, eager, but not ideal for long distances.

Good ride out to get 3 tags. 
fosse way to Moreton then across to snowshill. Back to Stow then onto Daylesford across to bunkers hill near Kidlington.

then back home via Banbury.

Disappointed with the Nolan in this respect, it has awful ventilation, and being white made little difference to my head getting hot, even with the vents open.

 

 

Did you open the top vent? I can feel the airflow from that going over the top of my head a fair bit.

I don't find it too hot at all - just a little noisy. Putting the visor down creates more of a booming noise.

Indeed I did open the top vent. it was 29 degrees so I should be a little more forgiving.
