Licence suspension over
Steady ride around some of the local backroads to get back into the swing of things .. 3 years plus and it's still a keeper

I've just got back from a trip to Mach. More pictures and words once I've had a good nights sleep

Went for an early morning spin round the local greenlanes that go up and down the North Downs, had a blast on the tiny pink one.

Back to Finchingfield to meet up with Mrs mate's husband and his now 103k mile KTM. Did a local loop the back to Finchingfield for a coffee and bacon bap. Good times
Scrubbed the Road 5s in but got some embarrassing chicken strips still but hopefully be good tomorrow. Was a bit chilly at 7.45 this morning, season's are definitely changing

The latest copy of ABR has an article about a bloke who's overlanding on a CB500X with some Rally Raid mods.
It's currently on 114k and the only issue has been a faulty headlamp!

I think the only thing I'd do with a CB500X is put wire wheels with Excel rims, just for the piece of mind that you're not going to have a wheel crack and collapse.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 12:45 pm The latest copy of ABR has an article about a bloke who's overlanding on a CB500X with some Rally Raid mods.

I took advantage of the unexpected day off work, and the quiet roads to go for a ride around the Yorkshire moors. Stokesley to Helmsley, across to Kirby Moorside then turned left onto the moors and took random turns down "interesting" looking roads, mostly narrow and bumpy, some with grass growing down the middle. Just the sort of roads a Speed Triple was made for.

Went for a wander to Wantage, Hungerford and the lanes today and ended up at Combe Gibbet.
Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Again taking advantage of the unexpected day off and clear roads.
A bit more exploring around Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.
Definitely getting cooler, needed the heated grips today with my summer gloves, then got caught in a few showers heading home.
I did manage to find somewhere for a coffee and lovely bit of Lemon Drizzle Cake.
Got a pick for the riding challenge ‘near a ploughed field’ but was beaten to it, so I’ll drop it here instead.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I went out on my Suzuki for 3 hours today, Sudbury, Haverhill, Diss, Framsden and back home.
Roads were lovely and quiet, but feck me, there's some pot holes and bad surfaces in Suffolk's roads, the area South of the A14 seems to be worse than North of the A14, but neither are good.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I put the shits up (I hope) an ADV rider today.
I had a fair lick on approaching a right hander and looked over the sea wall as I always do,to check for oncoming. I clocked a car coming the other way and two Starbux rangers behind. The lead bike decided it was a good idea to overtake the car on (for him) the left hander. By the time he was halfway past the car and in the middle of my side of the road,he eventually saw me barrelling towards him. I like to think he learned from that one the easy way.

Back in the days I had my Dominator, I'd have a crack at some of those... fine when it was dry... not so clever when it was a bit damp!

The Monster went to a garage for the winter today. Well, till June at the earliest I think
Half good and half bad - definitely better for my shoulder and I'll stop stressing about how much it hurts and that riding more isn't making things stronger. But I'm gonna miss riding
Anyway - didn't want to stop on the road for a photo with Mont Blanc in the background (only places to do that aren't ideal stopping points!!) so went into a car park
First photo, you can just about see Mont Blanc in the background, just (she's the only mountain in view with snow on!!)! Second isn't a particularly good shot, but The mountain is clearer :D
