4th Oct

[Chris L]

Met up with Framie and Kev Bolden at Brooksend,just the 3 'Thanet Wanderers' today..arrived at McDs to see a sea of Harleys,have to say I was surprised at the turnout for a chilly Oct morning. In total 17 bikes set off for Hs cafe and brekkie,after another Magical Misery Tour led buy (dont worry,even I can find my way to Canterbury) Kevin Bolden we find ourselves going the total wrong way on the A2, after a change of point man (Dug) he gets us on our (correct)way.After arriving en masse at Hs,where there wernt too many power rangers today,we queued up for brekkie,which we got quite quickly.
After scoff,tea and a chat we headed off to Samphire Ho (The land reclaimed from the Channel Tunnel spoil) for more tea and more chat.
Then we devided into seperate groups to make our way home,and a nice blast back via Sandwich was had.
Just a quick note...on the way to Hs..Gray did a 'quick change' he left McDs on his Ironhead..arriving at Hs on...his Sunbeam...'its magic'.
Also on my way back (thru Acol) I spotted a yellow Harley coming towards me...it was Custard Steve....A good day chaps.

So what was going on with lady in the Picasso with the loopy indicators on the Sandwich bypass then? I thought like you, that she was trying to tell me something about my bright orange running lights at first, but as we pulled along side, she was on the bloody mobile! Electrical fault, ambidextrous or what!!

Wondered what your bike was doing Kev!

Great ride out though!

Just a twat in a car, SIMPLES!

Bang on there, Kev! People seem to do anything but focus on their driving, these days or am I just getting to be a grumpy old man. Her left indicator was flashing left when she went straight on at the Ash to Sandwich roundabout which was an accident waiting to happen and very nearly did.

Read your Highway Code. The new edition quite clearly states that you should flash the left indicator while using the phone or eating a sandwich, the right when adjusting make-up or hair and both when parked just round a blind bend. The applies to women only, men are, of course, not permitted to use indicators. The idea that they are some sort of indication of your intended maneuver is ridiculous. What business is it of yours which exit from the roundabout she intended to use.
