Off to Gene Winfield's birthday party/car show today, but taking the ST, not a bike.

Enjoyable ride today trying to make up for a bit of a miserable summer weather wise and making the most of this warm snap.
Out for about 3 hours including a stop for a coffee at Triumph Fatory cafe, but only covered about 70 miles and all within 15 miles from home.
Exploring the little back lanes around the Warwickshire, Leicestershire border.
This bike is ideal for this, just bimbling along taking in the views and autumnal smells.
Beeline set to compass mode allowing me to keep heading toward my destination whilst exploring whatever roads take my fancy.

Went to the valley again today! It always surprises me how tired I am after I've gone riding when it's been so long since last time!! (almost a year!) But, that wasn't going to stop me today! LOL Need to practice as have to go to Chambery on Tuesday afternoon :o

The N90 from Aime to Bourg is lovely. Its an 80kmph road, but lovely and curvy - it's a main road, so not twisty. And it's definitely possible to go a little faster :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

A little bonus day out with the jap classic boys. Have to take those dry days when they come.
Plenty of old 70s Kawas.

Out for a nice ride yesterday. From home to Snake Pass via Tideswell and Hope then back via Glossop and Hayfield. Probably one of the busiest days I've seen for shear number of bikes. Quite a few bellends out though, some stupid riding on show. Inclusing one badly bent SV650 on Snake Pass.

Out on the Street Triple over to Devil's bridge today with one of my mate's.It was dry but cloudy around here but no problem until we got out of Longridge heading to the Trough of Bowland,Hill Fog,you could see about 20 metres,less in places,the roads were covered in mud & cow shit & my summer gloves got so wet that the dye ran.

Image

At least when we got back to West Lancs it was just overcast.The bike's going to need a major clean after today's ride :shock:

Yesterday involved a ride to the RockStore, then over to a mates place where they were having a bike show for 2-Squeeks...
Pics taken in the building are my mates bike collection, the rest were the bike show (only took pics of the Kaws) & a few at the RockStore (from the gray ZX14 on).

After getting covered in road muck in yesterdays Fog & Drizzle I gave the Street Triple a clean & went for a spin to my mate's garage.
Whilst we were talking this rolled up to the bike mechanic's place over the road.

I think it's the first time I've seen an Egli.

There didn't happen to be a Trabant at the two-stroke show, did there?
