MTA Ride to Work Day - Friday 27th March

**Ms Piggy** · 25th March 2009, 06:17

Be nice to see a few more riders on the road on Friday. Look out for a little beat up CB250 with a pig above the headlight.

Might try and get my butt out of bed a bit earlier so I can stop off at on my way through to work.

I'd like to go but I can't because I need to get a park near work before they are all gone!

7ish! Wots that? Is there such a time?! (Hmmmmm, reputation as 'Lazy Bitch' being compounded when I make comments like this!)

But since you asked soooooo niiiiicely, I'll honestly try to be there before you depart.

Where do you park? I'll use my chain and towball on the bike to pull any annoying scooter out of the way for you afterwards

Yeah those were the days when you could leave a vast blue cloud of two stroke oil smoke down the road and not feel guilty, 100mph was an adventure of a lifetime if the thing didn't tank slap you, waxed cotton barber jackets, 6 volt electrics, 4 inch drum brakes, jelly mould frames, men were men and girls were????

Ah the H1. Sod all power and oiled up plugs till 5126 rpm precisely when all of it's power came in and dropped your tail light on the tarmac because the tyres hadn't heard of grip in those days. These GXR's/R1's don't know what power is. Deep Joy.
