Montys random ride

Right I'm back

We decided over dinner to go on the most random drive ever.

Got home packed my things and set off up the m4. stopped after 60 miles to let the sr172 fill up and off we went again

I must remind myself never to ride in the dark with a tinted visor there was no street lights and it was raining visability was zero.

Anyway reached the next services both still in high hopes. bugger all open for food though Crying or Very sad

Reached Bristol and joined the m5, the stretch was a lot longer then I remember so it took a lot longer.

Came off at junction 22 for burnham on sea, the times now 12am and we still need to find somewhere to sleep.

Petrol station was the ONLY thing open and there wasnt a sole in site. the tesco and asda werent 24 hour either

Looked for camp sites but none would take tents. ended up finding a gap to a random field so parked the bikes up and put the tent up

Over night it was really hot luckilly. was woken about 7 by people going past our tent luckilly they were just walking there dogs Laughing

Packed everything up, ready to go do some exploring when the first problem came to light.

My mates sr172 had broke the exhaust bracket and the exhaust was hanging on for deer life. the exhaust had upbolted from its bracket too.

A nut, washer, 2 nuts and some lock tite tightened it up as much as it was going to go.

Went into Burnham on sea had a nice breakfast overlooking the sea.

We then travelled down to Brean sands to the leisure park to go on a few rides while looking round the market that was on.

Went on a rollercoaster my favourite the waltser and some other random rides

We then decided to go pick up pressies and then head home.

On the way home problems struck again, my mates inside of his end can fell off. now the bike was seriousely loud

Got to the first services and tried to bodge it the best we could but no luck

Carried on almost home when it started coming loose at the head Laughing

Anyway we made it home ok. my mate needs a right hand engine case and an exhaust but who cares Laughing

It was a nice trip that was organised over a mcdonalds Icon_lol5

I've never been on a more random ride ever but I think I will be doing more in the future

Total distance: 550kms or 340 miles
Total trip time: 19 hours
Randomness: Off the ricter scale Razz

(At home yes it was raining even more random)
