Sunday drivers!

No....it's not the usual kind of Sunday driver that I am referring to here, the 'Ford Fiesta @ 28mph' brigade taking auntie out for a breath of carbon monoxide after way too much sherry with her beef and Yorkshire pud, no, this is an entirely different breed.

To be more specific Fletch, who to be fair isn't a 'sunny sunday' kinda biker but who on this last Sunday came up with an idea which required my assistance.

We would make a video! Not any old video mind you, this video was to be of our Sunday meanderings on Eloise (yes his bike has a name) and whilst he rode merrily along, yours truly was parked on the back, camera in hand, trying desperately against the wind to keep the damn thing steady to some degree.

Ok, so it was quite amusing, save for the small fact that I'm not dextrous enough to operate the camera with bike gloves on and as a consequence had to ride with my hands unprotected. Eekkk.

Anyways, the final cut is below (editing credits go to Fletch) and of all the things I've done on a bike in my time (no lewd comments please) this one was new to me. If nothing else taught me two things.....the B.B.C. won't be offering me a job as a camera woman anytime soon and the Cambridgeshire countryside is pretty boring!

Dangerous driving (And what's wrong with Volvos?)

Birt :o)

Dangerous 'Driving'... Assume you were refering to the 'Ovlov' driver that had lost the use of neck muscles hence couldn't possible use his mirrors, cus I was 'Riding'... ;o)

After the roads here in the Borders area, those dangerously overcrowded roads down there must seem terrifying!
