Only just got round to opening up the laptop this evening and seen that my mate Nigel has joined too. 2 Essex boys join, and a dozen Essex jokes to welcome us. No problem with that, keep them coming...after all I did have a black capri once too. 1600 Sport just like the Professionals ....!

Close to Galleywood common Boomer, but actually Great Baddow by the White Horse Pub. It was me that day I expect, just breaking the bike in on it's first run over Southend way.

Cheers to all on here and hopefully catch up for a ride soon.

Hi Old Coney, Geoff. To be honest the commute is great. When you are having a sh*t day the thought that you are going to be jumping on your bike at 5.30 helps get you through it. Bus lanes around London are brilliant as well, keeps the tin boxes out of your way.....as long as they don't turn left without looking first. Seen 2 Motorbike T-bones like that. Yuck.

Know it well. Used to drink there before the late 90's refit.
Have been in a few times since but not since the smoking ban.
A good friend lives over Sandon way so if we go to a pub it's normally the Crown.

You did look a little tentative. and the bike looked seriously NEW. 
Me I normally hit 100+ at the bottom of that nice bendy sliproad.

He looks tentative most of the time!!!!!!!!!!!

When Boomer said 100+ he meant 100 km/h + not mph, just in case there are any    on here!!

Southern Softies like to come out now the sun is shining .... you are so right !! The numbers are balancing out nicely I think .... you never know we may organise a Southern Meet .......

Well ooop north I've been basking in 15 degree sunshine, no wind driving my cabriolet with the top down (was pea soup this morning until 7am when the sun burnt it off in about 20 minutes)

Drove back from gym with top down - gorgeous!

Now got the new bike up to 300 miles, and all going well except the problem of the petrol tank vacuumimg shut. Could hardly get the bugger open again this morning. had to pull it open with the key jammed sideways.

Still think the metallic green looks gorgeous.

Southern GTR rally sounds good to me. Lets show our Northern friends the delights of places like Basildon, Pitsea and St Mary Cray. Local beauty spots !.

What's the petrol tank issue that you've got?

[Lonewolf]

Essex Boy and Zedmeister, we are so full of culture and sophistication up here in the North that I have decided to share with you a sight you wont often see....




Where else will you see such an outstanding opportunity to take part in a 'WORLD' class sporting event. Dont lie to me and pretend you have such sporting events down in the smoke......
