It won't work, I'm right handed. My throttle control is excellent though. :)

I had a couple of green lane episodes earlier. Nothing at all major, just non tarmaced road up in the pennines. I'm gagging to take it up to Scotland, but annoyingly I can't due to work. However, I am going to do a run down to Dorset on Monday. Trying to plan a route better than the a49, but struggling.

Me, Bike, Rollmat, Tarp... two day adventure.

Like this one on the Honda. Ended up sleeping in a carpark in cumbria. Long story short, I was in a campsite in consiton and a group of four were being ****s at 1am. Started out as loud banter, then turned in to a massive hour long domestic, then culmiated in shagging. By jut after 2 the bloke shot his load and it all seemed to get a bit quieter. Then they started playing music. By about half 2 the music stopped. Bliss, I thought. Then another bunch came back from wherever and started with more noise. It was supposed to be a quiet family camp site, and I was trying to escape hectic work for a quiet weekend, and this was all pissing me off no end, so I packed my tent up and did one.

As I began to do said one, I realised that this was the first time I'd ridden the bike in the dark, and the headlight was about as much use as a match. Basically only the side light worked. I'd made a thing of leaving though, so couldn't really go back, though I wanted to. Consiton to South Windermere on your sidelight, in pitch black, is interesting. Took me bloody ages, doing 15mph all the way because I couldn't see the road. Ended up bedding down here, in a carpark. Slept like a trooper.
