Went the long way to Tesco today for some bread, milk and dinner for tonight in my rucksack. Bike ran like a wet fart, wouldnt pull right wouldnt reach 100 ...... Gaaaah....... stopped and went through restart a few times and kicked the link pipe as the exhaust servo is known to stick causing poor running and bike hadnt been run since early November. Pulled away again and hey presto, back to normal and lifting the front wheel happily in lower gears just with throttle and screamed up to 135 really quickly before thinking Oops, too fast and noisy and liable to attract attention
Lovely day and stopped down by the Broads for a pic

We're house hunting at the mo, so I'm allowed to go looking. I do it on the bike. But there's a down side, the roads being as they are....

P.S: The above picture is the first time I've been able to post pics on here as I've just now discovered how to resize. OK - scoff. But: the colour isn't good - the bike is more orangererer than that, as you know Is there a way to improve this (no matches please) - e.g. a different resizing method? And is compressing different? Sorry - elementary questions; elementary answers please!

I didn't go to the Upper Derwent visitors centre to feed the ducks.
So I didn't see that every single car park and verge in the whole of the peaks was full with cars. So much for lock down

That's probably less than 10% of them in that picture.

Sheffield to Buxton and back on a 350LC at the chilly arse end of November 2020. No pictorial evidence; my fingers were too cold to work a camera.

Live in Sheffield in S2. Not a true-born Yorkie, but have lived here for 20 years.

Nice one. I'd have been out if I had a bike that was on its wheels. Hopefully soon. S73 then - Barnsley? I worked in Tankersley (S75) for best part of 20 years until I retired last July.
