2 of them were from Barnsley.
When we got yapping, the others had no idea what we were saying.
The suvverner was a Unix Sysadmin. When we got yapping the others had no idea what we were saying :D

Had an amazing 2 days with pals from Fuertaventura. Unfortunately, the lad who pranged my bike yesterday had a massive anxiety attack after 5 minutes into the ride. I took him back to the road and he was able to ride back. Then spent the day in the sea.

Great lads and they've invited us all over there.

How do you know it's not an ST2 or even a 3?

He's had it about 4 years inherited it from a good pal who died.
He keeps mentioning getting summat newer, but it's got sentimental value.

Another stolen moment today.

Got out on the SV650 for a much needed winter ride

Image

The mid day sun doesn't get very high at this time of year but at least it's shown up today :D

Image

The current state of the road surface around here isn't the best for grip,but some lanes were a lot worse than this :wtf:


Image

I bought this little Suzuki for rides in 'sub optimal' conditions & as a cheap & cheerful run around it's been great,definitely one of my better purchase's :thumbup:

Took the RE out for about 50 miles today. Got a bit cold towards the end though. Roads are pretty shitty but doable at an RE pace.

Ending with a packet of salt and vinegar and a pint of Christmas cracker at the Tiddly. Nice to get out though. 🍻

Only on my drive, but been out and got it dirty... The weather's been too good not to quite frankly for December!

Image

Had some good fun with friends sliding about on the back roads, avoiding all the fresh potholes, gravel, muck etc... 😁👍🏻

Great brekkie and a coffee @ Shobdon Aerodrome cafe too...

All clean now and ready to go back in the garage...

I've stayed at Shobdon Aerodrome a few times while on solo biking trips. It's a great, quirky place to hang out with friendly people and small planes taking off and landing regularly. The first time I stayed there I asked what time the bar shut and they shrugged and said "Whenever the last person leaves". I think the roads of Herefordshire might be the muddiest in the country.

My poor judgement got the better of me. Saturday was sunny, but the roads turned out to be far from dry. Infact, absolutely filthy. I knew I'd have a job on my hands washing it after. But, it was a nice enough ride out in the sun over to J&S in Oakmere. I had a few moments on the slippy roads, enough to scare me actually. Almost worn S22's maybe didn't help. Spent the rest of the day getting it cleaned up. Tucked away for another month now.

Down a dark road, up a darker lane to a dark church. No ghosts though. Maybe my bright lights scared them off! :thumbup:

I nipped out on the SV for some petrol as it looks like we're going for a ride on Boxing day.I ended up doing a 46 mile ride very windswept but it's mild for winter :thumbup:

Image

The roads are full of mud & debris,if it gets much worse I might fit some semi-nobblies :wtf: :D
