Sixteen seconds into the ride video, a truck passes on the *unexpected* side of the road startling the per-jeebers out of all the Yanks! :o

 

if I can get the rallye, I should ride around in a cab . . .

Docc-glad to see I wasnt the only one that was ready to take evasive action soon as I saw that truck coming "in the wrong lane!".

We visited friends in England a few years ago. Fortunately, they picked us up at the train station. When we went around the first round about in the wrong lane, I just closed my eyes.  :)  After fully a week of riding around with them, John asked me if I wanted to "have a go" with his motorbike.. I said yes. If you've never driven on the "wrong side" of the road, it takes a little acclimatization.

I noticed sections of the road with no center line. In this part of the world that means, "Drive In The Middle." <_>

 

Love the pictures of the line of SpineFrames! :thumbsup:

My former wife is a Brit. We went to Jolly Old several times. Once, my father in law, who lived in the US but was a native Brit, imported one of his American cars, to England, and we went out for a spin. It was a left hand drive TR7, and that twisted calculation confused him enough to choose the right lane for a few hundred yards. Until oncoming cars set him straight. "I couldn't make out where the hell I was!" Very scary. Glad it was him that did it. Always good when yer father in law screws up.

The trick to remember is that the 'car' driver in whatever country, is seated near the center line of the road. It was a hoot to drive there, especially the countryside. 

Now, a motorcycle .... different story. That would take some learnin' :bike: especially with all those country pubs, and every freakin one of them full of irresistible ales!   dang, let's GO! :drink:    Spine Raid UK!
