The football was on Saturday afternoon so me thinks not a lot of traffic about..........time to play on the Busa, even got the wife's permission, been a good boy lately, bought her a new car.
And I was right, 25° C and a light wind and very little traffic….perfect………
The A46 is a great road, a couple of long straights very few junctions, some nice bends, only one set of traffic lights and more important no fooking speed cameras.
I make my up to the traffic lights, about 4 miles, just cruising at about 90mph, at the lights, these are always red, is a BMW 645 Convertible. Nice car me thinks, sweet V8, then the lights change to green, the BMW go’s off the lights like a stabbed rat, got a race now, but for how long, there is 3 miles of fast straights and sweeping bends ahead, no junctions, so yippy, short shift 1st and nail it in 2nd , grab 3rd Max RPM and then look in the mirrors, strange the BMW must have turned off, but no junctions, so I carry on to there I normally take a break. Park the bike and take my helmet off, just going the light a cigarette and the BMW go’s by……………fair-play he did wave, perhaps he stopped for a cigarette…………
