First proper rally since VWD 2019...Covid has a lot to answer to....couldn't be arsed with Whitley Bay or Tenby...wanted to go to Kelso but I was having a problem with a trapped sciatic nerve again...spent the holiday I had booked off work resting at home and hoping that I was going to be better for this rally...

sciatic nerve has settled down and it was time to try my first long journey on a scooter since VWD 2019...90 miles done and time for the first fill up of the day...sun is baking...

first time I've actually put E10 in the scooter on English roads...engine doesn't seem to be getting as hot as it did with normal unleaded...ABS-ASR warning lights came on about 20 miles back but stayed off when I restarted the engine...probably the shock of being used for the first time since VWD 2019...
