Careful suspension set up is essential - perhaps an upgrade to Ohlins - for hardcore riding to the shops

Thanks Paul and Fausto that gave me a good laugh.
Unfortunately it appears discount bikes has gone bust as they won't load.
I did think about a set of side panniers, preferably in metal as a gap threader at roundabouts

How the hell are you meant to fit a double bubble to that?
And I dont like the colour, it's shit..
And those wheels are horrid.
And that seat looks uncomfortable..
What you need, old bean, is a motor bicycle. Far far far better mode of Transport AND it allows you to set speed cameras off.. something I cannot see that thing doing, even downhill..

But will a motorcycle make me fit or will it just remove pounds of weight in an uncomfortable way?
Touch wood I've never been caught speeding so thats a bonus

I haven't, nearly did once when I had the BB but the camera only flashed once and the 3 points I had on my licence weren't mine, it was cos the missus got caught twice in 6 days (I would deny that in a court)

A motorcycle
will get you fit. Ride it like you stole it, wear full leathers and more importantly, dont fall off it.
A fine recipe for fitness.
