After a day in the garage yesterday fitting a new replacement reg/rec, today’s weather forecast was a pleasant surprise. A hastily arranged 10 o’clock meet saw three of us southbound on some of our favourite B roads to Cowfold, to pick up the 272. Not quite as enjoyable as on an early Sunday morning, but still good to be out. Had a good rip down to and past Loomies and on to the Haven. However the hopeless fuel range on my pals MT 10, caused it to run out in the middle of nowhere. While he stayed with his bike, I let the satnav take me to the nearest garage, only a few miles away. A gallon and 7 quid for a petrol can, saw us back on track. Lunch wasn’t as leisurely as I’d hoped, but we’d lost an hour and wanted to be back in daylight. Less traffic on the way back made a great finale to a spontaneous day, and another 256miles racked up on the mighty thou.
