Scudnut Reporting In From......

Ipswich.

Day 1

Not that much riding today, just over 100 miles I think, can't be bothered to go out and take the cover off the bike to have a look.

First stop was to see Chris my training guru, he has just started his own riding school in Basildon, great to catch up with him again.

I'm now at forum member Sarah's aka "Loveittwo" (or something like that), there is no need now to pitch the tent in the garden as I'm using the sitting room floor.

A few pics below from the day, more tomorrow.

Any one else going to the "Dog Inn Rally" up near Norwich tomorrow, worry not, I'll try to post a few pics for you.


Chris, riding guru.


Chris left Fatso right


had to stop on the A12 to retrieve Sarah's contact details from the loptap.


Me and Sarah.

Re: Scudnut Reporting In From......

(from yesterday)
Bungay

Day 2

Got up quite late and had a couple of erands to do so didn't go to the bike show.
What a mission trying to find a campsite electric hook-up lead, ended up buying the bits and
making up my own one, damn sight cheaper too.

Popped into the T Mobile shop in Ipswich to sort out a dongle problem, no joy though, w@nkas.

So had a bit of a ride out with Sarah, I know Ipswich a whole lot better now.

Thanks Sarah and Kevin for putting up with my company for nearly 24 hours, a bit harsh
for anyone.

I rode the 40 miles to Bungay, which is near Lowastoft in Norfolk, getting here early evening.
The camp site only charged me a tenner (with electric) after quoting me £17 on the phone
when I booked it.

The rain held off (just) while I pitched the tent then it chucked it down.
Broke my foot pump (split) pumping up my bed, searched for someone with an electric pump
but no luck. Mr baker man from Lowestoft kindly lent me his foot pump, identical to mine cos
I broke (spring) his too.
I offered to pay for it but he declined, he also declined a glass of whiskey, oh well.

It kindly stopped raining long enough for me to pop into Bungay centre to get some crispy
chilli beef and Grolsch, then it chucked it down again.

A few pictures below from the day. Now bring on the Super Bikes.








Leaving Ipswich for Bungay.





My Pitch.





Don't you just hate an erection?





What an erection though.



I'll do todays later, great result from Snetterton.
