Last Saturday - Near Gatwick, Black Cerb flat out

[AbarthChris]

I was out on a training ride last saturday, heading towards East Grinstead after coming past Gatwick when a black or dark blue Cerb came belting past at full chat in the outside lane of a dual carriageway.

Just wanted to say it sounded superb and looked awesome! I heard the popping and banging when you let off when you were miles away

sure it wasn't a dark grey
what time/place unlikely to be me though as I rarely get to full chat stage, even on a track tbh, but you never know

It could've been dark gray but it was a very dark colour. I think it would've been around 1pm ish and I think it was on the A2011 heading east towards East Grinstead.

About the right time .

If you think that is 'flat out' then I think you might be surprised how quick and violent a Cerb can really be, honestly that would have been about 1/4 throttle

Hang on, the wife "borrowed" the cerb last Saturday lunchtime to take our eldest to his piano lesson

She didn't mention she'd been the long way home but I thought the fuel had disappeared...

Mine is dark blue, or at least it was until we managed to get it filthy at Goodwood on Sunday!! Now its a mottled greyey blue!!

I think I need to have words when I get home!!!

Must have been someone else's....

Cheers

Rob, if it was the 'little lady' she has obviously worked out how to release the handbrake....do you think she could show you how to do it

See you Friday

I reckon I would be! I was cycling on a road bike though so the speed differential was massive, plus it was loud!

Whatever the throttle, it looked and sounded awesome and certainly made that boring road enjoyable!
