Ride in from Forest Hill via “Gangsta” country to Farringdon. Sh*t myself everyday but have a very very good time whilst doing it. Used to commute from Harrow to Farringdon but the A40 was boring (how many wing mirrors are there!!!). Train and bus take me an hour, 17 minutes by bike!! Nuff said.
I like London but I can’t help but feel a bit “claustrophobic” after I’ve been there for awhile. (I used to have to spend a month there every quarter for business (stay in Euston and commute every day to Watford) I have family in Nottingham, too…)
Riding a super-moto in the city would be fun…I wouldn’t want my big bike there though…it seems like (and maybe I’m wrong as I’ve never ridden there) that it would get old riding about stop and go in 1st and 2nd gear all the time. I DO day dream about having my bike in the Midlands, though…around Bealey…the Peaks District…so many gorgeous roads in that area.
i live in catford(se) and ride threw town to get to heathrow airport every day…it is an intresting ride with many a danger lurking round every corner…but hey…i just play a game to get me through it…
its called keep as far away from every cage driver on the road…
which means taking every traffic light like its on the starting grid at brans…
then easing off when im far enough away…
