Aha, likely me. We had a few new to riding in our group so I was just rumbling along (and getting 50mpg!) keeping an eye myself but we did have a couple of fluorescent beacons, two of our motley crew were wearing green/blue balerina skirts/leggings/net-stocking armbands.Furrybiker wrote:I think you waved to me just outside Brighton, would have followed you but was keeping an eye on a mate who had the speedo cable break on his 1977 Z1000, too many plod around to chance it
So to avoid the closure announced some two hours earlier, a couple of the newer guys (for lack of a more fitting word) enthusiastically suggest we go east and grab the A22 up to avoid the earlier closure and since the bell that rang (biked docs to Hailsham a few times some 20 years ago) was somewhat distant, we politely nodded at the idea (being openly welcoming as we are) but it all came back soon enough; a busy windy single carriageway with rotten road surfaces. That and as we get onto a dark M25, three of them park up on the hard shoulder right after the slip road. Cue a great big sigh at nine bikes on the HS (what's the problem?), a heat seeker and instant bollocking if ever there was one, just waiting to happen! All for a pee/visor swop/known bulb failure problem/fag/stretch/kiss, I kid ye not.Glad to discover the big fatal accident that closed the A23 on the way home did not involve any bikers.
edit: sadly the other incident that closed the M23 did.
