I was being stupid and I readily admit it, well over a ton on the way back from Swindon to Bournemouth on the M27.

When I say I was being stupid, I'm not referring to the speed, just that I was... on the motorway!!!

Should have known that by now shouldn't I!


No the really good thing is, I've got to the stage where it is the style I ride rather than the balls out speed, so motorway miles are only done as a necessity because they are boring and don't do tyres any good.

I'd rather have some country twisties any day
