No worries Gix, cheers Digger. Yeap I have clocked up thousands of miles in all sorts of conditions over the years. Now I just like to get out in the warm. Still want to ride more, circumstances always seem to want to contrive against me!!

Enjoyed reading this again Radar. Do you think couriers have ‘eased off’ a bit on the riding style and hours in the saddle since then?

Not sure, the advent of modern communications and ever more economical deisel vans has marginalised the traditional courier. I rarely see one these days.
Still about in London and widely used for legal docs that have to be originals

Watched a bit on telly this week about being a courier in London now…it is all twist and go Maxi scooters, Sat Navs and trackers now. Oh for the days of a beaten up CX and a pager!
