End of the road..home sweet home











Hi all, well we did it. We travelled a total of 2019 miles over the week. It cost Luke £185.53 in pertol on is bandit, £100.10 on my Gts 300.




We got back at 6.30pm last night. I had to do a detour to Readspeed for a new front tyre. Has we pulled off the motorway in Gloucester on the A38 I hear a strange tapping noise at the front of scooter. When we stopped to check the wheel,noticed the outer skin of the tyre was buldging because the tyre was bald! Lucky escape because moments before we were doing speeds of 70/80mph. Phoned Gill and they stopped open for me to change it. £41 less in pocket later I made it home.




Knackered and in need of a cuppa collapsed on the sofa.
