Its a good road for a Hardly-Ableson

Some routes ya win, some ya don't. The trip to Rendlesham Forest was crap, the A10/A12 was straight and full of twats, a perfect road for Harley Davidsons. But if you have a bike that accelerates, goes round corners without shaving bits off the exhaust and not sound like a tractor then choose roads that have bends in them....much more fun.

It wasn't all bad tho, some of it was appalling. We missed the rain but not the wet roads, didn't see any aliens either and nearly walloped a few dear into the bargin.

I'd had enough when we stopped at Orford Castle, it was then that I realised I hadn't taken any photographs so took this one. Not very interesting really, not even for a castle (notice the woman in the bottom right of the photo, she also took some dull photos).

I think Tom on his new Fazer 600 realised that touring on a bike is not always mind blowing'ly exciting. Sometimes it's bloody cold, wet and tiring. We clocked up a total of 326 miles in 6 hours and 51 mins...... most of it dull as arse.

We did eventually stumble across some nice twisty bits and trounced a few local bikers (well, I did, Tom still has to have the training wheels removed first).


more luck next time
