Let us know when you are up this way and if the weather is ok we can hook up for some local rides. Time is one thing i have plenty of at the moment.

Always looking for a good ride, doesn't matter where. I have the next few weeks off too, dairy season over and just doing a bit of training that's all...

mate those motorbike couriers in London are fricken nutters. They all seem to ride big bikes too and there are thousands (hundreds) ((lots)) of them.

I lived just outside London from '85 - '91 working as a professional photographer, and with most of my clients in London, I didn't own a car, but purchased a brand new (1987) KLR600 for trips to the city

The big advantage of an adventure bike ( especially 600's up ) was the fact that the handlebars were high enough to be above everyones wing mirrors - VERY useful when lane splitting :-)

I only got knocked off the bike twice in all that time - worst time was getting T-Boned by a car coming out of a side road, result was me sliding across the 4 lanes of Tottenham Court Road watching cars and busses taking evasive action..... new undies that day :-)
