Yep freedon the open roads and bugs smashing you in the lips as you power along at the speed limit lol, then theres the cleaning the dead bugs for your visor and digging them out of the vents lol. 

 

well i done a 60 odd mile trip on pippa the skipper to cromer beach ( cromer is norfolks famous beach where the crabs are caught and shipped world wide) , but tomorrow i am heading out to a lesser known area of the coast a small place called walcott. the nice thing about this beach is , there AINT NO BEACH !!! the road is directly beside the sea wall so thats a godsend, i can park up walk down the slip way and be directly at the sea , ok maybe 15ft of beach when we have a low tide, but high tides it comes right upto the sea wall. thats a 40-50+ round trip ride so nice to do

 

just up the road is bacton gas terminal to it takes north sea gas and refines it and sends it around the country it is also another popular haunt with anglers to. but after walcott and scounting that area i am heading down the coast to the road that ends directly at the sea. over the years the waves have pushed back so far that they have been swallowing this road and it leads to nowhere just a 20ft drop directly to the beach. this trip is a little shorter only around 30-40mile round trip but again its the norfolk coast line.


I can honestly say riding the coastal roads are awesome, you can smell the sea air and get to see the nature around not being caged in a metal can always in a hurry due to the muppet behind you , the added bonus is mostly free parking to, i mean where do you pay and display on a bike lol, if you stuck it to the windshield some arsewipe would steal it and shove it in their car :) best of boths worlds get to places cars cant and free parking :)
