Oo, Oo (as Pvt Doberman would say) - get some pics someone.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

I wonder how many know who the famous Pvt Doberman was? I suspect it'll just be thee, me and a select enlightened few :wink:.

Slow down and ride it square on...
Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

You can't really ride it square on because it cuts the road at an oblique angle and it's a fairly deep gully. Its actually worse going in the other direction because you climb out of the ford onto a junction and a bend so you have to stop when you're barely out of the water. It ain't very bike-friendly.

I just passed my full test and have got a z800 before that I had a mt125 fro July last year so not been riding for long. I have only on one 100 mile ride with a mate the mrs wants a quiet day in tomorrow with our little girl so I thought I cold go for a ride and I found this. I’m confident at riding so I won’t be left behind but not so confident on directions in places I don’t know we will see how it goes tomorrow
