Default wedding

I am going to a wedding today in south London and cannot make my mind up wether to drive or ride the bike.
I have to go up the M1 and then straight through the middle of London so the bike is ideal but it is focast to rain and I will be wearing my suit on the way so if it rains I will look very soggy when I get there. IF I take the car it will be the S500 so it will cost about 1 billion in petrol but be comfy,dry and have lots of buttons to play with when I get stuck in traffic.
I will put a poll here and probably do the opposite of what the poll says this being scoobynet an all.

Take the bike. Attach an umbrella to the handlebars to prevent your suit getting wet, or perhaps wear a waterproof coat.

Take the bike....talking point anyway and will give you more of a chance to pull (but remember to take your S500 keyfob to clinch the date next weekend, you know, then run in the country, lunch out scenario )

Enjoy the wedding anyway

Because northerners get confused , they often think London is built on a hill and they need to go up the M1


Take the car mate, it is Friday and the roads will be quiet going in....not so good coming back out though, but by then you will be half cut , so just set the autopilot on, cruise control set to max and just sit back and sleep it off

It's because of the obvious increase in intelligence, good looks, money etc as you go south - hence the term "up" the M1.

went in the car in the end. Managed to get flashed by 2 scameras on the way back and I may have used a bus lane or two. Goodbye clean license and it did not rain a drop.

At the wedding venue I don't know how much a coke was but a tiny glass of fruit juice was £2.00 and any two alcoholic drinks cost over £8.00
