Thanks in advance

Fresh tarmac. The road has been resurfaced between Trowbridge and B-o-A. I was told by a tarmacer that so the tarmac doesn't stick to the drain covers, they paint the covers with diesel! I've also found that it takes a few months before a new road surface offers a decent level of grip. There's a lot of oil substances involved in laying a new road. Unlike Pammy's T-shirt, it's worse when it's wet... :-?

Thanks for the heads up on that Mark, really handy to know

;D ;D ;D

Oh, I don't know, car drivers always say "sorry, mate, didn't see you" anyway. WInter, summer, early mornings, late evenings, we're almost invisible

I don't know bout tips, have always found it difficult, especially on the sv as it's naked. But I've come to enjoy wobbling, and the lorries gusts always make me giggle. No matter how many times it happens, it always catches me unaware..

I just go for the 'learn where it might be windy, and watch out for them' method as it's less worrying when you're expecting it!

Things like appearing from beside lorries, gaps in hedges, bushes next to the road waving about etc
