Street Traders Near UB City


Suzuki Hyabusa - Top Speed Circa 200mph

Two have been spotted being ridden. Both sounded like twins, which is odd for a four.

Daily Breakfast

Porridge, honey and mint tea.

Café Noir, UB City

Vegetable Quiche to start.

A trip to the pattiserie cabinet to select dessert.

Creme Brulee was spotted (excuse the lack of accents). One wonders where it might sit on the infamous LK scale, pioneered in Toulouse.

These chaps collect illegaly parked motorbikes.

One of the arenas.


A small shrine.

Palm trees and far away horses.

Aboard Dougal

Dougal the lethargic ex-racehorse does not handle like a Suzuki. In truth the leadrein was on during the lesson and taken off for this snap. More lessons are required before any level of competence can be claimed.
