I'd rather go for a
Hey Boomer,
Agreed.... I'm too old and beat up for the adventure bike stuff
Wickford UK?. West coast area.... I never made into your neck of the woods.
I did spend a fair amount of time in the midlands(Leicester), Wales( Cardiff)
and Scotland ( Prestwick, Largs, Troon) during my working days.
If your into golf, I even got lucky enough to play The Old Course, Old Prestwick and Turn-berry
Didn't spend time in London other than the Gatwick
I did take the "Chevy Chase" tour of London one day, enroute on train between Leicester and Cardiff.

Checked my bags at the station, and walked around for the day....
exited the tube at Big Ben, across the bridge, the palace, up Pall Mall to Picadilly ,
Beautiful city.
I'm big fan of the UK.
Wish I could come back and "ride" around for a while.
Have you been to Isle of Man? That's a bucket list item.... not likely, but one can dream
Cheers
ONO Bob
