The bikes
Janice gets 63mpg out of her SV650, which has had its seat lowered by the judicious use of a breadknife. This prevents shin bruising when paddling the machine backwards.
Peter gets between 45 and 50mph from his V-Max which has a nitrous kit fitted for when he goes drag racing at which times the fuel consumption goes up a tad.
have had to return to some counties three times as I was unable to find the signs. I hadn't realised that Lands End was private land and they charged for a photo. I refused to pay at first until Peter pointed out that it’s cost us about £4,400 for petrol for the two bikes plus the cost of camping/travel lodges etc so the extra £8 wasn’t so much in the grand scheme of things. Nonetheless I was so annoyed I dropped my bike in the little circle where they take your photo and right in front of a band
of Japanese tourists too. I have fallen off seven times now, the best being on a steep hill in Aberdeen at the apex of a U turn. I was laid in the road with the bike trapping my right leg so I shouted to a woman to get my husband. “Which one is your husband?” she asked. “Well he’s not the one walking the bloody dog!” I shouted, looking at Peter who was sat on his V-Max at the bottom of the hill.
