I think I went there in 2005, perhaps it has gone upmarket since then. No. it's definitely not more upmarket although it's not as bad as in the 1970's , it was like the wild west then 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Found an excuse to nip over to Lowestoft via the back roads so after much moving and pushing other bikes and things about the domi was out for a bike test. I await comments as what I need to collect wouldn't fit down the front of my jacket. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Just got home after driving all night from Indy to Colorado. I love crossing Kansas when your GPS says : "Next turn in 518 miles" . Straightest, most featureless road in the USA.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Kansas City around 3:00 AM and headed west, arriving home at 1:00 PM - got stuck in a white-out blizzard in eastern Colorado for a couple of hours at 20 mph... couldn't see shit on the road. There was a semi truck just ahead of us in the pic. Good, clean fun ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 95 miles each way to where i was working yesterday half of that is tight twists and turns so not a boring road but by god it was hard to stay awake on the way home and i didn't have a hard day, that would be a hard drive to stay awake in a car for me. I have done that on a bike in a day but my sore arse wouldn't let me get tired on that ride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The door was open on the Braithwaite railway arches as I walked past so I stuck my phone through the door and took a gloomy blurry picture. These were built by a colleague of George Stephenson of Stephenson's Rocket fame. The other picture is of the new back entrance to Whitechapel station. The street is now called Durward Street, it used to be called Bucks Row, the name was changed because of some bad publicity which attracted gawpers. Mary Ann Nichols' body was found just about where the bicycle is, the first victim of Jack the Ripper. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
