Avebury Wednesday.. anyone?

You wouldn't be the first to fall off in the carpark, but it's a lot
better since they re-surfaced it. I promise I'll try not to laugh if
you do.

It's blue - & covered with MuddyStuff stickers.

However if I decide to take the scenic route, it'll be covered in mud,
& probably missing a few levers.

Heh, "oddly-sized" - how quaint ;-)

 

It's not so much the carpark but rather the cobbled bit at the entrance
where it's got a storm drain or something - along with the bit where it
changes from being tar to cobbles - that caught me out a couple weeks back -
one of those "Hmm, I can't touch the ground on the right, but I need to put
the bike in gear... arse" moments. I may just stick a knee slider to the
bottom of my boot.

I can see your SO being thrilled with that...

Small and thin(ish) - you've got to admit, it's relatively unusual in biking
terms ;-)

 

It's certainly unusual in big trailie terms. I'm one of the tall ones
on the MV list, but I think I'm the shortest on the Tiger list. I think
people must change to look like their bikes, so expect to grow out of
your trousers[1] in the near future.

[1]No, that isn't a euphemism.

You might have a point there.

Got a damp problem?

 

Weather report from just down the road - it's absolutely pissing down.
I'll be giving it a miss then methinks.

 

AOL.

 

Poofs.

I turned up. On my own until Gyp turned up.

In his sodding car.

 

Ooh, hark at the rufty tufty biker, now he's got a soft roader.

 

Maybe next week. Weather looks much better...

 

That's 'dry poofs' to you.

Sensible chap that Gyp. How were the burgers tonight?

 

Non-existent.

 

Unavailable - there was virtually no one there (unsurprisingly).

 

Hah hah - the GSX-R was easier to ride in the rain. [1]

Still, once the initial downpour 3 minutes from home subsided it was
reasonably pleasant. Until the rather interesting attempt at sideways travel
on a bit of overbanding on the A4 - that woke me up. [1]

Coming home, dry, slightly damp roads, but not unpleasant on the whole. So I
don't qualify for rufty tufty quite yet.


[1] Whilst I concede that no bike/tyre is going to be happy on damp
overbanding I did find the Trialwings rather uninspiring in the rain. I
managed an average speed over 86 miles (with petrol stop) of 50mph, so they
can't be too bad - but they will be replaced with 020's in due course - or
possibly a VFR

 

Really? Can't imagine why ;-)

So how were the deathwings in the wet?

 

See post ^ there somewhere - not terribly inspiring.

 

That's a bit thirsty - or was the tank not full when you left?

 

195 miles on that tank and it had 3 litres left

 

Not too shabby then

 

Ooh, that was last night wasn't it? Maybe next time then.
