JoGLE complete at last!

That's me back home, after 1605 miles in 8 days at a leisurely pace. Lytham St. Annes, Aberystwyth, Swansea, Bude, Lands End, Looe, Worcester, back to Lytham St. Annes then home.
This is how Lands End SHOULD look.....

This is the view I got! I couldn't even have told you that there was a house on the cliff behind the sign......

LoL.

Should change your name to Brandrain.

It's only taken me about 25 years but today I finally reached Land's End, having been to JoG in the early 90's.. Oh and I haven't been to either on a cycle. JoG was by car, and today I was at Land's End on my Honda motorbike having left home 4 days ago. Slow I know, but I've also done Snowdonia on the way down.

Needless to say the weather today was in keeping with my reputation. It rained all day, was cold, windy and foggy. A truly horrible biking day.

Got another 3 days to get home (from Looe, Cornwall) and hopefully the weather will be as forecast - warm and dry!
BTW, my experience of the traffic on the roads of Cornwall has put paid to any lingering notion of ever cycling LEJoG.. There's not enough money in the treasury to tempt me to cycle on any of them.

That's a lovely looking VFR btw. Not wishing to turn this into a VFR fan club thread, well not much. Very nice. Not seen one in that dark blue colour before they are normally red or silver. A few lighter blue ones, black and even fewer white ones. Mine's red.

I think the thread has served it's original purpose by now! So ..... yours; is it the same model i.e. VTec or pre? What year?

Pre Vtec 1999, mint, 5k miles.

5k miles in 19 years?? ..
I thought mine was low mileage when I got it 3 years ago with 32k on it. Now sitting about 43k.. How long have you owned it?

As it's not really cycle related I did try to PM you but you aren't taking conversations by the looks of it.
