I’ve known Adz for some 25 years or more: a work colleague of old and a fellow motorcyclist.

But, in all that time, whilst we have often talked bikes, we have never actually been on a rideout together.

Well, that situation was remedied yesterday morning, when we met up and took a ride up to the Super Sausage for breakfast – well, second breakfast in my case.

“The Sausage” is a well known biker’s haunt and on a Sunday morning – which seems to be the most popular time for us leather-clad enthusiasts to all get together and go riding – it is absolutely packed, with the queue for food stretching out in to the car park, which itself is chocca with bikes of all shapes and sizes.

But, on a Monday… very different.

It was great to catch up with Adz and discuss the old days (and the old firm) over a cracking full English breakfast – though I think I’ll go for the Small next time as my Medium was bloody huge.

And the ride itself was most enjoyable, even if slightly cooler weatherwise than I had anticipated (I’ll admit to turning my heated grips on… in August!)

I’m hoping for more of the same next week… weather permitting.
