Carn Galver again. Lovely road on a lovely day.

Yes, coast road from Perranporth down to Hayle, then back road to Penzance via Criiplesease, A30 down ro Lands End Airport and back to St Ives via St Just and Zennor. And A30 home.

PS: I’ll be up at Benone for 10 days from Sunday (NW200), so if you fancy a run….pm me?

The Starbog Road,near Kilwaughter. It and other connecting roads meander inland roughly in the same direction as the Antrim coast road,so if the coast is busy it's a pleasant option. Poorly surfaced and bumpy in places,so it's not one for chasing the speedo numbers.

Will do,though you may have timed it well for the good weather to end.

A spin out today with a local chap and his Veeus Maximus.

Cracking pics Scubbles - what phone/camera are you using?

I'm not gay or nuffink, but I think V-Max's are cool.

Just my phone camera. A Samsung A34 I believe!

His goes and stops well,due to loads of mods. Brembo brakes and all kinds of frame jiggery pokery. Heavy as,though.

Agent Orange gets a turn today.

Same - nothing wrong with a bit of Gant

Does look well with the new bars.

Little run out round the borders. 6 bikes which is a nice size group.

Coffee stop in Hawick which is getting popular for bikes.

Ludlow loop. Stopped and admired the castle from a distance.

It's gone quite chilly again out there today, should have put liners in/worn textiles/both

Nothing exciting. Just 20 miles down the A1 to finish getting the old bus prepped for the MOT. When done next job is painting it white and soring out new limo tint.

The old bikes took a trip on the country roads up to Slemish,then down to the usual spot at Carnlough. I was glad of my heated gear,it was dry and sunny,but a pretty sharp n/e wind.



Note the Kawasaki patented glove warmer....

I rather like the look of that Triumph.

It is tidy.

Those end cans look terrible.

Back in the day the 900 Thruxton was pretty nice, but the newer 1200 R makes it look like something from Temu.

Yeah, bit short, otherwise

Loved my old Thruxton!
