I was going to hibernate FrankenMech today till put internet on and found out a very good friend died in her sleep last night, another funeral in Crondall. So just togged up and decided to go aimlessly ride around for a bit and let it all sink in and go where I am not known for coffee so I don't have to talk to people.

It tears at your soul milly so go have your ride. Stop off at a secluded spot and have a cry. It is OK to cry. I understand, I cry too. Then get that warm drink to warm your soul again and remember you have friends here. People at our age are dropping like flies. The fact that so many friends are dying just means you have more friends than most because you have a very large warm heart.

Today went up Longwood to try the coffee and bacon rolls. A friend and his wife have got a pizza wagon kitted out up there. Then stopped my engine for a horse rider on way home as exhaust well noisy in it's present state. He stopped to admire the Lambretta and might be getting a scooter. Car came by and horse reared up, he was saying horse was fine till last week when young lad driving car and trailer fast brushed his horse. Reckons lad on phone as he saw him coming at speed and was waving him to slow down. Lad did stop and apologize which is something. Lesson learned maybe.

Nobody should use a phone while driving except to call emergency 911/999/etc services. I have seen way to many people driving badly while using a phone then they absolutely deny any impairment. Everyone claims to be able to use a phone when driving but they are ALL absolutely wrong.

Agreed, people think they are really good at multi tasking. Science says we are actually horrible at it, we can only focus on 1 thing at a time, we can just switch screens really fast. Computer can multi task, we can't

Ride out to the spiritualist church and the beach. Hands now frozen after 40 miles with only summer gloves on 🙂

Just been speaking to a deliveroo rider who has 40, 000 miles (not kilometres) on his Honda PCX 125cc says does about 136 mpg, it has abs on front but still drum for rear and only problem was ECU packed up in warranty. Reckons reason for drum is due to the Forza model which is same cc but has disc rear but costs nearly £2000 more. Best tyres he found is Michelin city, he likes the Anlas winter grips but wear to quickly on the Aberystwyth roads where as where I live 30 down near Lampeter they much better for single track and dirt roads.

See loads of those doing deliveries round here. There is a reason for that.
