joys of road riding

got my 900ss mot'd taxed etc and took it out on road for first time in 2yrs-
within 4miles had 3points and fine- had almost forgotten all about being a criminal apprehended and repremanded at the roadside for going 44mph on a clear dry road between 2 villages
the feeling of joy as i set off again at 31mph with the chain snatching and engine nearly stalling in 2nd gear knowing that popping to the shop was only going to cost me a little bit more than the price of an off season track day

the sad bit is it is the same place i last got nicked going much faster in nicki's car 2yrs ago and for a year and half looked out like a hawk for them but never saw them again till now

A sad sign of the times...

Maybe the track is a better choice all round!

judging by the way this season has gone so far i think it may be the second option- either that or i'm saving it up for something big- maybe a lottery win

The unmarked Police Honda touring bike was busy on the roads that approach the local bikers cafe (H-Cafe at Berinsfield) he certainly had a few riders.
Although the muppet that left the cafe pulling a wheelie down the dual carriage way then doing a U-turn and returning to the cafe while the copper looked on probably asked for his ticket

Maybe you'll get away with a course, not that I've ever been that lucky.
