He's on 'L's so not a motorway user. Starting at Squires Gate is easier as he's coming through Preston on the A roads.
The route back from Bispham is straight forward enough.

Yep no motorways for me, i had a look at the map and that M55 even if i was licenseed i prob wouldn't use the M55 on a ride out, its looks boring, looks like getting to Blackpool via A-roads should be more fun anyways.

Its OK a lot of people think it. Been on Provisional for 8 years, Paul on here think he been on way longer, and an other X9 rider i know a mate called Lee been on provisional for 12 years.

Yes i am a very keen rider, I ride all year round, i ride even when its snowing LOL, think i been everywhere in the UK, but i Did and failed my full test 4 years ago give or take, then became unemployed for 3 years and so had no money for test, now that i got a job that i have had lest than one year, i earn my self 100 per month its a start back into employment, i been saving from that for a X9, which just got recently, taken a year to save, been set back by my ex GF that got me spending most of it on her!!, if it had not been for my years of unemployment and a expensive GF i would have pass my test by now and be on a X9 500.

I am saving from my wages for the kids and family xmass presents and mums birthday in January, then I hope its back on track to saving for the test, in hopes that 2013 will be the year i finally do it and pass, and hope to take my first adventure out of the U.K, hoping to visit Germany and France.

Sorry thought i would just bring you update about Mr Solo LOL.

Blackpool illuminations i do hope the rain holds off i really do.

So who is coming then ?

PS- Meldrew- last time i went there was only a few speed cameras on the front at each end and a few in the center?
