First proper ride in the dark at rush hour; I'm starting to Understand why some folk yell at motorists...
Sorry Pot's.. I should have realised that the very thought of a clean bike horrifies you as much as a filthy one horrifies me

I wasn't caught in a downpour but was raining on my commute home last night - I must have just missed it.
However, considering it's 1/2 term I expected the roads to be a bit quieter last night. The roads were fairly busy and saw numerous road accidents (or the aftermath) on the way home. The A21 passed 'The Dripping Tap' (heading towards Locksbottom/Orpington) was closed by police due to an accident. Not sure on the details, but headed back home through Bickley and Petts Wood. Seemed to be a fair few temporary traffics lights as well :-/
Commute in was lovely. Roads much quieter, and a nice morning.

Fairly quiet commute again today. My route does seem much quieter during half term.

You near enough mirrored my commute home last night.
A21 from Deptford to Bromley, left to Bickley, right at Blackbrook, left at Southborough, up to Petts Wood, Crofton, Locksbottom, back on A21 to Tubbenden. The heavy downpour only really started at about 6.15ish.
What a cock!... The RLJ'er in Bickley this morning i'm talking about. Decided to wait at the lights but got impatient and decided to cross the junction. Except he didn't see the coach emerging from the junction on his left until it was nearly too late. So what does the RLJ'er do? He starts ranting and raving at the coach driver as if it was his fault. Imbecile.
He definitely heard me shout at him that he was a complete and utter cock.

Here for rides.
Fawg. Thick fawg. Followed by low sun and wet roads on a eastbound* commute. It gives the old sphincter a good workout.
Bike looks like I never cleaned it at the weekend.
Gonna be a gorgeous morning by the looks of it.
