I love parking the bike at Heathrow

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by The Older Gentleman, Oct 5, 2005.

  1. 7.50pm: screech from tyres as Boeing 767 touches down at Heathrow.

    8.00pm: turbines spool down as we park, clicking of seat belts being
    undone. Ring The Doctor: tell her I'm on schedule.

    Hand baggage only, so straight out through customs, turn left out of the
    door of Terminal One, hundred-yard walk to where I've left the Trophy in
    the free bike park. Rolling at 8.20pm.

    9.00pm: clutching can of cold beer, I settle into the sofa to watch the
    last episode of The Space Race. And supper's ready.

    Motorcycles: the only way to fly.

    TOG's supper is always good. Usually accompanied by some claret.
