Nice route this weather, regularly took the back road when I lived in East Mersea, and great if you swing around the edge of Abberton reservoir or cut across from Tiptree and the Marneys etc
What have you done to your Scooter today?

Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
Yep, I'm familiar with Abberton, Tiptree, the Marneys and Mersea - great places to ride around I agree.
Trouble is I have to come back into Shoebury near Southend so the last bit can be a pain - there is a back way however...

Just been down to the quayside at Maldon this evening watching the barges. Very nice indeed. It's within walking distance for me too so had a lovely glass of wineCookie wrote: Then took the long way home on the backroads via Maldon (which is not really on the way home at all but it was a nice day). Had some chips down by the river looking at the old Thames Barges and then another gentle ride home.
Very nice it was too...![]()

Sounds perfect!
Could have some potential as a meeting up place one evening eh? I think a few people on here are within an hours ride or so of the quay.

Filled cooling system with water and run up using infrared temperature gun, although didn't seem to take long the fan eventually cut in
so that now works. Drained now deciding whether to go straight to the expensive coolant or run on water for a bit. New shocks to fit today.
