Hmm... drizzle, they didn't mention drizzle! The forecast was cloudy with a little bit
of sun and 9 degrees. It was definitely cloudy, the sun was nowhere
to be seen and I would say it was more like 5 degrees. I was glad
for my heated vest!
I
decided to take the Z as it’s easier and more forgiving on slippery
roads and it doesn’t seem right to get the MV all wet and dirty.
Six of us met at the local petrol station and it was drizzling. After
the obligatory study of each other’s bikes, we decided to head to
Super Sausage at Potterspury, Towcester for brekkie. This is one of
our favourite haunts as it offers great food and lots of bikes to
look at and bikers to chat to. What more could you want!
We
headed towards Aylesbury where the drizzle had now turned to rain and
then picked up the A413 out through Whitchurch, Winslow and Padbury.
This is a lovely flowing road with some great sweeping bends and I
would thoroughly recommend it. When we reached Buckingham the rain
had stopped and the roads had dried out considerably. We then picked
up the A422 which took us to Stony Stratford and then we headed down
the A5 into Potterspury.
The car park was
quite full when we arrived, we couldn’t believe how many bikes
there were for the time of year. There is always such a varied mix of
bikes in the car park and it’s nice to have a drool over a bike or two and dream about what the next bike could be. There were a couple of really nice
scooters and a very shiny and well looked after Honda 400 Four. Great
to see classics out at this time of the year.
Super
Sausage is an award winning biker cafe and is very popular. The queue
for food was out the door but this is not uncommon and does, in
fairness, move quite quickly and when you’re chit chatting to each
other and other bikers it doesn’t feel like you’re waiting that
long. We probably queued for about ten/fifteen minutes before we
ordered our breakfasts. The food was, as always, cracking.
After brekkie, we went outside to have a wonder round the bikes. Some that were there when we arrived had left and new ones had arrived providing yet more conversation/debates between the guys.
Back
to our bikes and we decided to find a nice little café in Wendover
on the way home for a coffee. There was no room in the café when we
arrived so we sat outside and one of us wasn’t wearing his correct
base layers and was feeling the cold so wrapped himself in a blanket
as you can see from the photo (a real hardened biker)! More
obligatory looking at bikes took place, not sure what they find to
look at each time, I think it was phone mounts on this occasion!
After a coffee
(or two!) we headed home the long way via Hyde End, Chesham and
Bovingdon.
