made a point of takeing the tvr down helmsly road on monday with the weather been soo hot at last. heading to stokesly from hemsly i know the road and its hazards well, from dodgy bends to yumps under cover copscop and overtaking point..... in mind that tho the gap looks big the power bike that mite come round the bend mite close the gap VERY FAST.
BUT MONDAY I FOUND A NEW HAZZARD. leaving chop gate making good pace over the strait with the yumps (been more careful than normal, fiberglass is expensive) one last yump and dip before the steep bank foot to the floor as i come over the sumate TO FIND ...... A 1FT DEEP RIVER FORDING THE ROADyikesyikes !!!!! ARGHHHHHyikes. i managed to keep it straite but got soakedyuck and managed a 60mph-10mph without touching the brakes !

In the hands of a lesser mortal I'm sure an accident would have ensued!

We were in the narrow twisties yon side of Hawnby on Saturday night and the inexperienced one of our party slid off on 6" deep mud dumped on road. I was right behind; if she hadn't been holding me up it'd probably have been me sliding, at a higher speed - and on someone else's bike! yikes
