I've managed to survive another trip to Millwall. We're in some remote part of London having lost the police escort.
Danger still lurks, I reckon.

I decided, as i finished work at 11pm and didnt get home till midnight, i wont have alot of sleep for my 5am set off, dont wana fall alseep again so. going to do it monday!

monday is the new date.....if anyone is arround on monday in london ?

My plan:

I will set off from Leeds 5am and head to peterborough covering 119 miles @ 2 h 30 min, split that in two, for a coffe stop, thats 1hr 15 then take a brake have coffee and explore a town with the camera, then the next 1hr 15min to peterborough, should be in peterborough at 8am explore the town and area again, then back on the bike.

I will set off from peterborough at 9am and head to Ace cafe london covering 86 Miles @ 2hr 12mins.

I should be in London at 11am. I will spend 4 hrs exploring London on the X9 and visiting places.

At 3pm I will grab some food & drink and set off back to leeds, a 4hr 50min ride that i will split into 3 segments arrivaing home by 8pm - 9pm.

Rather you than me but good luck and ride safe.

Monday Good luck

So you are now going to do it on one of the busiest days of the week, everybody trying to commute thousands of HGVS . i do not envy you at all.

I only did one journey on the motorway on my 125cc X8 never again even on some dual carriage ways its bad not all HGVS will obey speed limits
as there are foreign drivers who will drive for days on end at speeds over sixty miles an hour. hgv drivers will start work anytime they are required so even starting at 5 am
you will be mobbed with hgv traffic

You're bloody stupid and the timings you state are not achievable on a 125 that cannot go on motorways. Not only aare you putting yourself at risk, but others too. London will be very busy as well.

I think you are way out on the timings you are quoting, I couldn't do those on a Large CC Maxi or Bike!
I think you will also need to add a few more stops into your journey
Good Luck!

Explore Peterborough? At 8am? Can you afford a stop off like that?

all the mapping and times i been planing using google maps with traffic predictions. Should be ok.

I have already done London 5x times already on my X9's i have had over the years, Last london Trip i did in one day, i got to london with just 1 coffee stop and did it in 5hrs ( all non motorway ). 5am got there for 11am and after i did a ride round i set off home at 4:30pm i got home for 11:00pm.

+1 I very much doubt you will manage those times using a 125 on A roads. I would allow more time for my 250!

Stay safe & good luck!
