We will spend both days this weekend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather forecast is so good I might even take the mower out for a spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a ridiculous statement, especially when you think that just a couple of weeks ago the average daytime temperature was -5c and every hour threatened a fresh snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in the last two days of this week that we have been back from Wiltshire, the ZX10R has been out and about and I have enjoyed every mile she’s given me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On that point (ZX10R in general, but motorcycling in particular, and circling back to my ‘safe’ theme), I read an interesting comparison published by a traffic consultant, earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever there are cyclist accidents in a cluster in London, or a London-based cycling fatality, the Mayor of London (backed by TfL) pumps significant amounts of \u00a3s into making that route (or those routes) ‘safer’ for cyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when motorcyclists have accidents in London, the physical, strategic, tactical, or financial action of the Mayor of London (backed by TfL) is always the square root of naff all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is odd, really, given that motorcycling can move people across the whole of Greater London and nearby counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But still, the Mayor of London (backed by TfL) has decreed that motorcyclists must pay the ULEZ charge. So that’s alright then, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
