We try not to go anywhere over the bank holiday weekend. If the weather is good, the roads where we live are gridlocked. So as an exception we are off to Suffolk to stay for two nights at a Caravan Club CL near Darsham.  This is a new one for us. It's Friday to Sunday. So we will be at home for the bank holiday Monday.  The CL isn't all that fat off the A12 and so I hope it won't be too noisy.  At least this s the single carriageway section.  There are places to visit in the area from Pitch 13 at the CL. We are on the new site alongside the CL itself. It looks very rustic from the website -  https://barnabeesholidaycottages.co.uk/index.php/new-caravan-site We need to be away early Friday to make the most of the day. On the way up we need to look out for the petrol station where we bought the very cheap diesel on one of our previous journeys up that way. Of course, we have to expect the the Dartford Crossing will be usual nightmare.

Galaxy Fit 3

When we bought the new phones there was an offer to claim a free pair of Galaxy Bud FE earphones and a Galaxy Fit 3 smart band. Of course we both applied ASAP. Mine arrived yesterday.  Claire's  due tomorrow.... She is quite miffed. Straight out of the box the Fit 3 connected to the phone and we were off. No messing like with other smart bands we have tried over the years. It looks okay too.

The front garden has two raised beds and I like tulips. So I took a couple of photos of them.

Kettle Club UK - South-East Ride to Rye CANCELLED!!!!

-
Well.  After the work done the other day to get Suzi Triplo ready for the weekend, the local Kettle Club UK organiser cancelled it!  It gives me more time to ride her and see what I need to do. It does seem to have a problem pulling the revs in top gear.  I was struggling to make 60mph on the national limit roads the other day.  I might have to book it into Cheriton Motorcycles and see if they can see what the problem is.   Fuelling? I guess I could still have a ride over the Rye and see what and who is there.

Putoline TT Scooter Strawberry Scented 2 Stroke Oil

Putoline TT Scooter Strawberry Scented 2 Stroke Oil I have been using this for a few years now. I bought it as it's low smoke and for the added although unnoticeable smell of strawberry! There have been no problems and it is intended for use in more modern engines. So in an old girl like Suzi it should be perfectly okay.

The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) is proud to announce International Ride To Work Day 2025. Set for Tuesday, 10 June, MAG calls on riders across the UK to hit the roads and showcase the power of two wheels. Fewer Emissions!!! As the Government shapes its Integrated National Transport Strategy (INTS), MAG is leading the charge to prove that mopeds, scooters, and motorcycles are vital.  They are a practical, sustainable transport future. With congestion clogging Britain’s roads and emissions targets looming, this is the moment for riders to ride loud and proud. MAG’s vision - submitted to the INTS call for ideas - highlights how motorcycling slashes traffic. Motorcycles cut emissions and give people real travel choice: urban and rural alike. On 10 June, riders will turn that vision into action, demonstrating how two wheels ease gridlock, from London’s rush hour to Cornwall’s winding lanes. “This isn’t just a day—it’s a movement,” says Colin Brown, MAG's Director of Campaigns & Po...
