You say that like there's other areas.

e type.... did you like the bit in Terdington?

oi corrado... most of brum is quite nice ill have you know! I just rode round some of the s**t holes I moved 20 miles north over 20 years ago and tbh I wouldn't want to move back near the city center, its changed so much in that time that the old Brum I remember just isn't there any more

tbh when I got home and decided what to do with the footage I wished I had rode to loads of other landmarks around the city, one day ill plan a route with the video footage in mind and do a proper tour of sunny brum

Weren't the landmarks all knocked down to make way for shopping malls and a fake zeppelin?

I like Birmingham. It had character. Not so much now. It's going the way of most cities these days.

Turning ton lol ...you did pick the best parts of brum didn't you lol ...

I know we have drifted onto Birmingham, but my wife moved down there in the late 70's as a punk rocker and lodged with two transsexuals. And her local was the CROWN HOTEL, HILL ST BIRMINGHAM, which was and still is a haunt for the punks and they have their own FB page.

We went down there for the weekend a few years back and had a great time, but the Crown was not to my cup of tea.

Just saying.

For one reason or another I hadn't been out on the GT250 since the ride into Brum till this weekend. Burton show yesterday and Wicksteed today. started the weekend with 240 miles covered, Its now got over 420
