Not been here ages

[Pondlife]

Never mind the ponies and sheep....fecking tourists are the worst! The ones that go so slow you could pick flowers during the ride/drive or the ones that stop dead in the road....like they have never seen a fecking horse before.
Anyway since we are like neighbours, let me know if you fancy a bimble sometime...

A bimble might be rather nice but I do warn you, I am pretty much a bimbler full stop, too many knobheads on the road for me to be anything else really. I had a couple of nasty tumbles when I was a kid, neither of them really my fault but they did have the effect of making me a bit over-defensive I suppose. Then of course there's all the added delights of Somerset roads, random farm entrances, completely oblivious tractor drivers, mud and gravel on corners, sometimes I wonder why I even bother with this biking malarky as it's resemblance to walking through a minefield is there for all to see. I'm not adverse to giving it some beans when the road allows for it though, when I got this Fazer I knocked up a ton on the North Devon link road as a matter of duty. Two days later I saw the condition of the totally knackered front sprocket and figured that perhaps it would have been more prudent to have checked that out before hitting three figures....sheesh, that was a close call.
Anyhoo, I'm Charlie, nice to meet you, feel free to PM me if you've got nothing better to do!
