Since it's so damned quiet on here I guess I had better post something before the forum gets too dusty to operate correctly ;)

Went for a ride with a friend (Suzuki GSX-F 1000) on Sunday. Had half decent weather for it so I took Vivian (my C14).
We avoided most major towns and stuck to the backroads, sometimes ending up on single lane roads that would be called a track except for being asphalted.
Headed in a roundabout way from Danbury to the Harlow SportsBikeShop where my friend bought some Alpinestars ankle boots.
Then onwards to Finchingfield (very scenic bikers meeting point) for a drink and to watch an idiot on a dual-sport get busted for doing a wheelie right past an unmarked Police car. <LOL>
Finally a fun ride home having covered just over 100 miles of almost entirely backroad twisties.

I've done dumb stuff in front of Cops. They find it funny too sometimes. ;D

What was funniest was that he was showing off in front of 50+ bikers who pretty much all cheered when the cops lit him up. We all do naughty stuff on occasion, but doing it at a renowned bikers meeting place where there are almost always Police in attendance is just plain stupid. As for the cops being there, I find it's a good thing as it keeps things civil in this otherwise sleepy little chocolate box English village.

Proportional to the population we have just as many idiots as anywhere else.
It has long been my belief that the population ratio for assholes, idiots, criminals, etc. is a fixed ratio no matter where in the world you are.
