Self Isolation Day 3

Rather than go cabin crazy, I decided to get the bike washed after its dirty trip out to Oxfordshire.

In the end I made a deal with myself. I'd ride to the jet wash at Seabrook and hose and brush it down.



So £3 later it was nice and clean leaving the rust showing on the iffy Triumph chrome to good effect.

From there a short ride to fill the tank at Tesco in Cheriton.

The trip back from Oxfordshire via John's was 181.7 miles. It took 17.06 litres to brim the tank, or at least fill to the bottom of the filler hole. Giving an mpg of 48.4. Amazing.

The ride back home was quite sedate though. 

The self isolation idea that sees cities across the globe empty  doesn't seem to have reached us here yet. 

Still. A few more miles under the tyres. 

End mileage is 9557.

But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo

Pepe's insurance was renewed for another year today. So I thought as I have owned this monster for six years it was time to bring this blog to an end and import the contents to "On the Road Again". So that it what I have done.
