Yesterday my wife and I decided it being a fine day yesterday we would blow the cobwebs off of our solo bikes.

My Enfield started first touch of the button, her Intruder was a reluctant dragon, and took some time to fire up and spent five minutes coughing spluttering and backfiring, to the extent I was surprised an armed police unit did not turn up. (I blame the slash cut "silencers," I refuse to ride behind her, she has no problems with "tailgaters." )
We had forgotten, it was Easter Saturday in a tourist area. It was a nightmare out there, do all the bad drivers drive to Cornwall for Easter. (The local ones are bad enough.)
We had to use all our defensive riding skills avoid death.
One problem is rubberneckers mesmerised by the Enfield. Which when they are driving a car is not a good idea.

Move somewhere less attractive where the locals drive better and there are fewer tourists? A.

Not all, some of the twats come to Derbyshire.

And quite a few grockles never make it to Cornwall, the barstewards are having too much fun blocking the lanes here in North Devon with their poxy caravans.

Tractors. Don't forget the tractors.

You want to see a 'different' guide to Sevenoaks?



I had a previous vid, and the locals had a go at me saying that they all drove well. This was my 'reply'.

I forgot to say that my previous vid had shown 8 minutes of bad driving from a 29 minute trip to Sevenoaks town centre!!!



The comments from sevenoaks people were all either wrong, or just rude, as expected. The vid above was my second as a reply to them saying that they did not see anything wrong with the driving in the first vid. That was very worrying and proved my point! LOL

Lovely exhaust note on the bike Scalyback, what silencer set up are you using?
