So… having received the call from on high (OK, Bill sent me a pm :rolleyes: ) I set off for a godforsaken hole on the M25 called Thurrock (even sounds like a smelly piece of earth).

The trip over from harrow made me remember again why I don’t live east of London – It stinks :eek:

Anyway, I got there and found two suspicious looking types

One of them sold me a new tank bag – he said It was made by tescotech

Then we hear the unmistakable sound of MBW GS bikes being ridden with pink bras wrapped round their screens :boobies

With the Star in the lead

Bill meanwhile, who has ‘lost his clutch’ on the way to Thurrock (the smells probably rotted the seal) starts to see what he can do.

Apparently ones clutch fluid should not look like this :yikes

So Bill left it with the rest of the pollution in East London

After a quick trip to Halfords for some fluid to keep topping up/flushing out the system we got away – on time. Bill looked goooorrrgeous….. :rose

Stop off near Pevensy for a fuel break – “Bill, how big is it?”

We ride on into the setting sun:

The supporters handed over their supports

And Region III rode off into the night – we went for a burger and things all got a bit blurred from this point on – tears on the lens I think -
