Back from the UK

redjay · 07-04-2011, 08:06 AM

We returned to Ontario yesterday after 16 days in the U.K.
I never saw a Nomad but there were lots of crotch rockets and sports tourers. I saw a few cruisers, but not many. I did 1280 miles in the rental car and spent 190 pounds ($280 Canadian) on petrol. At almost $2 a litre it is expensive. We went to a Kawasaki dealer but they had no new or used Nomads.

It was good to meet up with family and friends and travel the country. Its a great place for a bike trip when the weathers good and most of my friends there still have bikes. I never got to ride any of them though, my choice. We went to a race meeting (motorcycles, go karts, sidecars) and I got sunburnt, it was 28c that day. Back to reality now and work tomorrow.

Sounds like you had a great trip, got any pics to post?

Glad you were able to make the trip. Sounds like you had a great time.

Sunburned in England? I bet that doesn't happen too often. ;)

As a redhead I just have to stand too close to the barbecue to get a face like a smacked arse.
