When I was am army apprentice every other weekend my FS1E would get thrashed between Arborfield near Reading across country to Bedford to drop off my dirty laundry at mum's or sister's, and then thrashed some more to my then girlfriend's house in Leicester. My usual arrival time in Leicester was about 4am and I'd quietly slip into the tent my ex had already lovingly erected in the back garden for me for a few hours well needed kip. I'd spend one or two night's camping in her parent's garden (not allowed to sleep inside the same house as their daughter) and then ride back to Bedford, collect now clean laundry and ride back to Arborfield by 10pm Sunday. Whether I spent one or two nights out depended on whether I could blag a 48 hour pass or not. When I got posted to Tidworth I called it quits. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite they churn out)
