The London Commute. It's Not For Bikers, It's For Blog
keithmoonisalive.blogspot.com
whats the most boring thing you do each day? what's the most monotonous chore that each day brings to you?
mine is the journey to and from work. it can be worse than work itself.
but if i can notice things that others might laugh at, worry about, look forward to, getting pissed about, then it's gonna be fun.
so that's what i'll do. tell you about my commute. kent to stratford in london each day, on a suzuki gsxr 750.
it's not for bikers, it's for people.
