did you leave the windows open?
Went out to post a letter. Took the bike and did 20miles around the coast to stretch its legs. Got a look from my wife though.
The yellow box said no cars so I was fine for the 30 seconds I stopped to take the pic.


The Highway Code says
Rule 174
Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see ‘Road markings’). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping
However looking at your photograph it does not appear to be a junction, unless the road ahead is where hovercraft enter the junction from! It also doesn’t say anything about stopping to take photos!
@Bazzer - be careful… ‘anchoring’ your bike there could be extremely risky.
You never know when another ‘large vessel’ might appear out of the mist and T-Bone ya.!
(RIP to the poor soul who sadly lost their life in that incident )
We all definitely need to get out more
1978 V35
What have I done today? Cursed and fumed at not being able to get my foot brake system functioning!
Took my 1980 Guzzi for an MOT, in order to get a new personalised number plate organised.
Nice getting out in the dry/ sunshine.
It foxed the mechanic finding the horn button on the original ‘leggo’ switchgear.
Got the bike weighed (with a near tank of fuel)
Front= 110kg. Rear= 127kg.
Somewhat similar to my Honda Blackbird but much easier to manoeuvre on the driveway
Spent the morning hosing and washing to get rid of the salt after riding to Bakewell yesterday from Wolverhampton
I hope you indulged in a bakewell tart
Or pudding
I fitted new clutch and brake levers. Fully adjustable and easy to fit. Yet to test the clutch for the best position but I’m hoping I will find one easy on my hand that still lets me change gear . They are shiny black unfortunately but I will be getting hand guards so they will be hidden.
Or pudding with a tart
Nice Griso…
Quite envious of all you folk who’ve been making the most of the spring weather over the past 2 days
Been grafting at work all day, couldn’t enjoy the sunshine
Tomorrow I start the annual saga of getting each bike MOTd and ready for the roads again
Actually no, after eating a jacket potato in a little cafe we were both stuffed.
Took mine for a Wobble across the Lincolnshire Wolds and back home vie the Metropolis that is Louth..
Lovely day for it
Jaysus, the Griso really is a load of fun in weather like this
That’s it. That’s the post.
