Aaaah the empty roads
'Twas Saturday afternoon, and all around a stillness descended upon the roads.
All that could be heard was the glorious sound af a TDM9 bimbling up from Oxford to Coventry, through Banbury, sun shining, very little traffic.................................bliss.

Oh yes. Keep this world cup going ad infinitum cos riding is so much better without the cars.

Very happy camper...........................(opening for jokes about 900 owners...any takers?) [Image: rolleyes.gif]

I go through Baginton on my way to work every day. I live in Coventry and work in Kenilworth. About 25 mile round trip commute.
If you come through there soon, be careful cos they have thrown some tar and gravel just past the industrial estate and flying school all the way down to the little roundabout............bastards. [Image: ranting.gif]

I was at North Oxford BMW on Saturday, could have walked off with their entire stock cos they were too busy watching the football. Couldn't fit a 1200RT in my top box though. Bugger.
