Plenty of grain spilt all over the lanes round here, makes a change from DPD drivers randomly sodding about

Literally just followed a grain trailer along the road that passes my house and it was like following a gritting wagon with the amount falling off it. Should blow away overnight before I leave on the bike in the morning

The heather is blooming on the moors. It's awesomely quiet up there.

A Sweaty is just a Yorkshire man with the generosity squeezed out.

I'm stretching it here, this was - good lord - thirteen years ago but I'm feeling a bit proud, so why not...

We were not quite as lucky dodging the rain
Lads did well as at the start of the day neither had ridden any form of motorbike before never mind one with a clutch and gears ….. by the end of the day they had ridden in hail, rain and briefly in a foot or so of water at a flooded section after the thunderstorm had finished

Honking around on the H1 for a couple of hours today. Much enjoyed.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Last month must be the first August in years that I did not get out for a ride. What with the weather and a few long distance overseas work trips the opportunity didn’t arise.
However September has got off to a great start and today’s riding conditions were as close to perfect as I can remember.
So with a not too early start I headed off to an old favourite destination at Koti Autotalli for a coffee, then from there up to a new motor focussed destination, The Piston Club at The Stag between Stratford and Alcester, http://www.thepistonclub.co.uk/.
Not a bad place to stop off, you can see it’s trying to cash in on the popularity and vibe of the nearby Caffine and Machine with a more pub like feel and offering.

Couple of gratuitous bike shots from the ride.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I did a thing today,totally out of character. Normally I avoid bike gatherings like the plague,preferring to ride rather than listen to bullshit,but I went along to a local classic outing,mainly because I wanted to see other triples!
It turned out to be a very enjoyable day and the company was good. I bumped into folk I hadn't seen for years and we had a good laugh. We went some bumpy back roads and the H1 was well out of shape at times,I was glad to see the smoother tarmac. Still the old girl held up well and I got to leave plenty of smoke trails.

When you've got something interesting to take yourself, it makes a difference.
