Got a few hours on the bike today. Thought I'd blast up to Box Hill as it's only 15 miles from me and I felt like mingling with bikers and hot tea and a crap burger. Had a fast ride there, wheelie practice and stoppie madness, the first really dry roads of the year for me - but it was still freezing cold.

But when I got there I was disappointed. There was little to see in the way of great bikes, most of the carpark was full of pretend cruisers and boring tourers. Most of the riders were in yellow dayglo jackets and Sam Browne belts chatting with the load of police bike riders who had lined up their hideous coloured police bikes right in the middle of the park. Everyone seemed to be over 60. All the girls were ugly. Maybe it was me being on a downer but I was slightly embarrassed by UK bikers today.

should have come out yesterday mate, went down to Battle for some breakfast , fast sweepers down there

25 years too late

I would just hope that Devils Bridge in Cumbria has not fallen from grace in the same way.

Hey man, old people have great stories to tell!

Yeah, the Police killed it about 20 odd years ago. Used to go most Sundays back in the day. Used to spend most Friday nights at Chelsea bridge too.

Hope the burgers at Ryka's are shit too now,.. it seems only fair.
