When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Two of us had a ride over to the Lake District today, 260 miles round trip. It was a bit murky early on but it brightened up and turned out a lovely sunny day. We stoppesd at Hartside for a cuppa, you can see how misty it was over the Lakes
We stopped for dinner at the cafe at the top of Honister pass
It was a good day out, but narrow roads and lots of traffic reminded me why I don't venture over there too often

Stunning vista.
I nearly always leave the house at unsociable hours just to avoid the traffic,especially at weekends.

Bit busy at Squires tonight...
And I got my knee down on the GSXR for the first time... On the roundabout outside ASOS.

I've been to Scotland a number of times on my bikes but normally meet up with people enroute and go up the West of the country. This time I was going up alone and meeting people there. I was going from Essex to about 30 mins North of Aberdeen in one day so I had to use motorways but I'd always wanted to get the traditional picture so I took a small detour through Kielder Forest. I'm glad I did as it broke the journey up well.

It's not a bad road the A68, certainly better than the A1 north of Newcastle. It was a bit damp when I was up there last yearscottyuk wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:29 pm I've been to Scotland a number of times on my bikes but normally meet up with people enroute and go up the West of the country.

Essex to Aberdeen in one day is a hell of a trip on a bike, I wouldn't be able to walk properly for the rest of the week if I did that

On the grid at the NW200,about to run the circuit backwards,just to show them how it's done the hard way.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
On my way to meet up with some mates in Czechia, covered just under 1500 miles since Monday. The Dullville is perfect as comfortable all day, no aches or pains.
Went through Millau yesterday-still amazed by the viaduct after all these years (will ride over it one day). Forgot to put the bike in the photo though (because moron).

Yesterday I went to the bike meet at Eccleston Delph with a couple of my mates,me on the Street Triple,one mate on his 650 Enfield & the other on his old Bandit.We were remeniscing on days long gone,over 40 years ago when we were camping there,hooning around on two strokes..
Tonight I went for a spin on my own,caught a good sunset.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Ooh I like that, just the sort of thing I’d be interested in if you were ever selling.
What’s it like to ride ?
