Loads, is there a chapter of the Bimota Mantra owners club in Barnsley?

Are these places anywhere near Blubberhouses?

Just in case 1 steering damper isn't enough

My sister used to live in Armitage Bridge before she moved to the Darkside (Wigan)

Anyone notice that none of them are connected to the frame, so they're not actually doing anything!

Never mind that. What's the 2nd throttle on the LH side for?!

Makes for easier wheelying, the bar rotates in your hand.

A different take on Mods and the extra lights and mirrors fitted to scooters maybe.

There's also something on the rh fork leg.

Probably just as well they're not connected, might be a bit slow steering otherwise

I did my radiograpic testing qualification's* at a place called Penistone, near Sheffield.
The place I trained and tested at was just past the railway bridge.
Same place?

*Long time ago, when I was a weld inspector and before I took up wood butchery.
The training was interesting but the crawling about in pressurised steam boilers inspecting 25% of furnace end seams less so.

Yup Penistone = Penistown.

..and it's much nearer Barnsley than Sheffield.

I got a lift there so was in effect parachuted into the place with buggerall navigational clues.
The driver knew the way and I just listened to his Blood Sugar Sex Majik album by the Chilli Peppers.

Anyway, here's a not so random pic I found amongst my Barbon Hillclimb photos.
IIRC the rider had a disability to do with his left hand so didn't have a left bar at all.
Seemed to manage stuff just fine though.
