You don't go out in your car and drive in groups meeting up with other car drivers in cafes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why I'll be down a green lane somewhere out of the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You possibly could move the ‘other people’ alert level down to defcon 3 then? Mind you a week or so ago some arsehole who’s card wouldn’t work in his petrol pump decided that it would be fine to squeeze himself between me n my bike and petrol pump to “see if my card works in here” and as he was a mere 30cm from my face unmasked saying this I did find myself turning into a loud hailer “MOVE BACK TO 2 METRES NOW” everyone in the petrol station stepped back even if they were at another pump Funny how easy it is to go from completely chilled out to defcon 1 in a second! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a problem. Lucky to get 10 mins worth round here. When I had there DRZ I'd trailer it up to Royton near Manchester to ride with the Bro-in-law. Lots of areas and lanes but you've got to watch your back as some are protected with old women with brooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
