L..E TO J.O.G

[taffydero]

I,V JUST COMPLETED SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED TO DO FOR A LONG TIME LANDS END TO JOHN O GROATS. I RODE TO L.E FROM S.WALES HAD THE CUSTOMARY PHOTO + A DRINK (COKE) THEN I WAS OF TO J.O.G A FEW BREAKS WHEN FILLING UP AND 15 HRS LATER I WAS THERE. FOR ANYONE WHO HASN,T BEEN THERE DONT EXPECT TO MUCH I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE AN OLD WHALING VILLAGE. WHEN I GOT THERE NO ONE AROUND I HAD TO DO A U TURN IN A PUB OR HOTEL CAR PARK A GOOD FEW PEOPLE CAME TO THE WINDOW SEEMED NEARLY EVERYONE WAS IN THERE NOT MUCH ELSE TO DO. SO ITS PROBABLY A NICE PLACE TO LIVE ANYWAYHAD A QUICK BREAK AND AWAY HOME THAT IS .TOTAL MILAGE 1782.2 IN 33HRS SOME OF YOU MAY THINK WHAT A MAN BUT I THINK WHAT A BIKE I THAUGHT PERHAPS A DIFFERANT SEAT BUT MY GOLDWING BECOMES A BI UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER 600 MILES+WELL MUST GO  OF TO BED NOW. :#1:

Good riding. I did it in 1983 on a CX500 in 17 hrs and could hardly walk on arrival at LE. When I rode from London to JOG I also incorporated the most easterly and westerly points on the UK mainland.  Ps - no need to shout :-)
