Haven’t been very active on here for a while. Moved up to Oxfordshire, took my internet provider just over 3 months to get the line live! Useless fucks.
I do miss the big city a bit, except for the cogested roads and tubes obbiously. But my bike is now parked behind the wire on the base with armed guards. Come get it now thieving scum bags of East London!!!
There’s a good few bikers here in the air force, we’ll be sure to pop down the road to London on the odd occasion in the spring/summer.
I bet your Insurance premium isn’t quite so shockingly high now! Is there a drop down category in where you keep you 'bike overnight for ‘protected by several hundred of Britain’s finest’???
Where abouts in Ox are you based now? I’ve been doing a load of work in West Ox (Witney, Brize Norton, Barford, etc.) and there are some stunning roads in the area. You’ll have fun finding them!
I am yet to join, I have been in contact with a few, nice to know they have all the tools and an area to do work on the bike. As for racing up and down the runway; I’ll try find out in work tomorrow, I work in the control tower, so I’m sure I could wangle something
Overall I’ve saved £800 on the premium. The most satisfying thing about it is not having to worry about it though. After you’ve had something stolen once, you worry all the time.
I’m at Brize, Witney seems a nice place. The Costwolds definitely has a few good roads on offer. I’ve been around in the car but not had the weather for the bike yet.
