The morning started off with light drizzle but cleared up shortly after meeting everyone at the Dartford tunnel for the trip to Southend for the annual Ace cafe shakedown and the first major bike meet of the year ,The crowds this year seem to have exceeded past with a massive turn out of every bike /scooter imaginable .

The Devil Makes Use Of Idle Hands !

Finally got round to changing the rear lights and indicators (the standard one look like some sort of UFO ! ) for something i feel look a lot better and more in keeping with the off road look.Small mini indicators front and back,i had to fabricate a couple of brackets at the rear to mount them ,and a Lucas style stop light ,i had to strip the wiring down to allow me to reposition the back indicators and a bit of swearing .But job done ,i think it looks much better .

Me and a few pals made our way down south coast of uk once again ,The morning was blanketed in thick fog and was bloody dense in some places and started to come through my clothing, and to make matters worse it was a bugger to see with no visor ! We started from London and pointed the sharp end of our bikes towards Ashford Kent to meet a few friends,then through the fantastic twisties to Rye for a fat tarts breakfast (2 sausages 2 bacon 3 hash browns ,mushrooms,beans ,egg,and a side order of toast )set us up for the morning,on to pevensey,Hastings,eastbourne,seaford then BRIGHTON,all in we put 250 miles on the clock that day,a few pictures of the day .Checkout the diesel Royal enfield

ODD ONE OUT !

I met up with a few old faces from the CCM Forum the other day and thought i would show them a proper off road bike ( lol) , had to decline their generous offer of a run down the twisties due to the pogo springs on the Triumph ,also they are a bunch of loons

Mad Sunday

After a god awful summer the sun has finally shown its face !
So after a quick wash and polish (the bike not me)did i say quick........ 4 hours later to remove last months crud from the constant wet weather and a route planned for the following day. I decided to make a bit of day so i stayed off the motorways and made my way down the A21 and A26 , which was a good decision with very little traffic on the roads,one thing i must do is sort out the primitive suspension back and front ! this caused a few hairy moments with some poorly surfaced sections.Any way here`s some pictures of the day .
