So I'm heading down the A422 after leaving work in Worcester at approx 5:10pm, the light staring to diminish and horrendous wind and rain, I clock a motorcycle and hi viz clad rider slightly sideways on in a layby reading what looks to be directions.
On first impressions I write the bike off as simply another modern Chinese commuter......but as I get closer I realise it's a very tidy looking original Tanzanight Blue CB250N kicker.....
I could slightly catch the reg number as either 'CDB ***V' or COB ***V'.....
Who was this ?
I was going to do a U-turn and get a pic for you guys and mention the forum but as it was hammering it down and the roads were flooding I thought I better get back home quick as poss.
The guy / girl really needs to be a member here.....

As a dedicated fair weather biker I have every respect for bikers out in these conditions.
Drove up from Hampshire today and between the wind, rain and flooding it is deffo not biking weather...

I was totally gobsmacked if I'm honest mate as it looked so original and out in shite weather.
Maybe someone from out of the area visiting ? If the roads had not been the worse I've seen them since taking the placement in August I would have gone back.

I'm surprised you are managing to get in to Worcester young Nick!!
From what I have seen, a boat or hovercraft might be more appropriate than a car.........

Luckily my place or work is the Stratford side of Worcester therefore easy to get to.
