collection tripping

[Rustybullethole]

May have alluded elsewhere in here as to what but it all starts here in the bus. 

Left the van at home so big bag of tools to lug about as have a days work in the middle though its kinda on the way.

Second transportation. 

And then

If you've never done the dlr I very much encourage that you do. Its the bollocks. Best transportation device in town in my humble opinion.

Best of luck.  Looks like we are neighbours, Brent Road is just the other side of Oxleas Wood from me! I'm assuming you'll be collecting something ULEZ compliant...

This is the kind of reserve I need to get better at. Unfortunately the pub is opposite the train station and i got waylaid. At 6 quid a pint i only stayed for one but chased it with many others and then rum when i got home as it was far too late for dinner at that point. Dickhead. 

Am outside today rendering and have been sweating it out the last few hours. Possible driving duties later so maybe today will s the AF day i was planning yesterday.

On the move again.  45 minute trot to Romford station where a load of bag head nitties are getting searched by the plod. To be fair i often get called a hobo by my mates and do kinda look a bit homeless most of the time. These lot are years down the line with faces ravished by drink and drugs. I ain't judging they're in every town, its sad. Cant help but think the coopers time would be netter spent watching who they pick up from and following them but hey what do i know. 

Having a smoke then getting the train.

Come on man, I'm supposed to be on the first day of my holiday. Instead you've put me thru 8 hours of suspense 🤣

[Rustybullethole]

Hopefully the last train of the day. Well it will be unless its a complete turd and he wont sell for what i offer. Fingers crossed. 

A reveal should happen.... soon...ish.

Full model name please. Looks great btw.

Now brimmed and heading into the sunset homeward bound.

Its a Royal Enfield Himalayan. 400 single. 

Only done a few miles and stopped for a ice cream. Its slow but handless sweet. I love it. 

[Rustybullethole]

Home. Has its short comings though don't we all. 

Am smitten 🥰 OMM plates quite fitting for a 'true brit bike' I feel. Got chatting to a Southend local who rode an Enfield to Goa back when he and his mrs used to live in their home land. He was a bit misty eyed about it though suspect that may have been to do with the fact he now has a family and lives in Southend as much as anything. 

First impressions. Would recommend.

Awesome. No idea why I thought a car considering its your thread, but still though. Would!
