Excuse the English I am unbelievably tired
Lets start with Wednesday
After pushing my rear tyre to the wire I decided it was time for a change. Taunted with the idea of using one of Popes track tyres (thanks again mate
) but decided it would be best to bite the bullet (read: bend the mastercard) and buy a new 2CT. Got a mate of mine to fit it, you may recognise him
some call him DHD others call him the tyre monkey, all we know is he did a cracking job
Also fitted my new -1 front sprocket, cheers
and thanks to wizzyrascal for the loan of the socket. Oh and thanks to Rusty for the biscuits and the chat
In true baftas style, basically I'd like to thank all of you who supported me lol...
By the time those two jobs were done (had to wait in for ages for the new tyre to arrive
) it was cracking on but still an important job to do. Go and look at a new bike for higgy senior. DHD and rusty both kindly inspected it and gave it a big thumbs up, so here it is:
A cbr600f only done 7K miles and is in really good nick.
So with a new tyre, a new -1 sprocket and a happy dad I only had the mrs to go and satisfy
so at pretty short notice I decided to head down to Taunton on the bike Thursday.
The route was planned by Cuffer via PM thanks very much mate. Avoided motorway and went via the Bristol road, A38 and then A39. Fantastic roads! Only thing I will say is because of all the accidents they have had there over the last few years there are lots or speed cameras, speed limits generally at 50mph and solid white lines everywhere
Overlooking than that there is perrrfect road condition and very very bendy roads. Lets not bother with the words (I bet half of you won't even read this
- well maybe you will now that theres a smiley there
) and do a photo diary.
A38
Bristol Harbour?
Bristol somewhere
A39
For anyone who has not rode down the A39 it is amazing! Really good mix of corners and straights, just a shame about the white lines always makes me feel...
A39 burger van
See what I did here
Bridgewater
Not too sure of that badge
Taunton
A school for 'special' science students hmmm sign me up I can do speshal
Minehead
Me and the dog, oh sorry should make that clearer - girlfriends dog NOT the girlfriend ya cheeky buggors
Awesome roads and awesome weather, all safe and sound. Won't mention the incident where I got a bit angry with a car driver and accidentally knocked his wingmirror and shouted
at him. Next time he'll indicate before he blocks the road including my escape route TWIT!!!
Anyways hope you enjoyed the pictures there is a video to follow - I have three hours worth of footage to cut down so I will do that tomorrow morning
