It's not THAT bad really - just different to what you are or were used to, still plenty of places you can ride in "relative" safety.

off road yes.If i ride leaving enough room for people to pass they just fly by at 65mph..

if i ride too far out i get run over so i have to control the traffic around me and keep the flow consistant with oncoming.I tootle along at 28-35 mph so have enough time to wander out to the line and back in to slow them behind.

i genuinely think people drive here on the car in front.noone seems to read the road these days.
 
Good to meet everyone last night, good turn out too by the looks of it, lots of serious looking cars in the car park!!

Hopefully be there Saturday morning, will confirm tomorrow (tyre dependant really!) but should be fun :)

I thought he was close to me, then saw you managed to get through too... Fekkin eejut

Had that been a learner of something, he would have wiped them out. What part of RED LIGHT did he not understand??
 
Are they the light at the top of the hill by the industrial site,

if they are I've had a few wagons do that when i've been delivering stuff round that site. or been to Autolands
 
At the lights that replaced the roundabout on the A5 and Houghton Road, top end of Dunstable. I had the headlights and a numberplate with ##-##-## staring me in the face as I turned. God knows how Kev got through without getting hit.

From where I was, it looked like said truck was slowing to stop at the RED LIGHT but then he just kept rolling, so basically, I swerved and floored it - thank goodness for a V8 is all I can say. No point dwelling on it, just another "one of those things" really not to mention I think we were both quite lucky.
 
Well the old girl arrived this afternoon. My 2 year old son is currently in histerics as he wants to play in the big truck so a great start as that means he can play while i spanner

All as expected except a flat tyre and it seems someone has aquired the top of the snorkle which isnt to bad the worst part is that the fuel tank has been drilled so that needs replacing so off to the scrap yard on saturday with oil cooler and anything else i add on the shopping list.

Well if it's illegal on roads and greenlanes then how about at a pay and play site? :D:D:D:eek::eek::doh: Or we could just go buy a disused quarry :D:D
