    Get back from holiday this morning and just turning into the village where I live and the roads have had the loose gravel put down. I mean there's deep ruts forming. I thought the council flatten it down a bit first then let cars do the rest. I've got a mile from my house to get on normal roads :(

    So I've got to wait a bit longer to have a go on the bike now :(

    At least it started up. I forgot to put the trickle charger on.

    Bloody 16th century road repairs should be banned in the 21st century :(

    Yeah I know. What annoys me though is when I have been caught on it before cars just drive normal speed so you get covered when the gravel is that loose. :mad:

    Problem is they can do 5 roads for the price of 1 tarmac road, so doubt they will ever ban it unless they get can the whole country to sign it :(

    Won't get banned until people start to try and have their driveways re-tarmaced ;)

    I signed the e-petition, but looks like it has a long way to go before reaching the 100,000 signatures needed for debate in the commons :(
