Coast2Coast Barrow in Furness to Scarborough Run


Recommended Posts

Posted

Set off yesterday at 0940, to be at Devils Bridge to meet the riders


Clive, Techno, JadeMongoose & Louise, RacBolton and Chezza


.....they were all already there, so set off on the run down to Ingleton, over to Hawes and on to Leyburn, where we stopped for Chips...


took to the road again, and up Sutton bank which was awesome, the boys stretched their legs, and I dropped back to follow the girls..


the weather was great, and everything was going well, too well.........................





the boys had slowed to wait for us, and we appeared over the brow, and well this happened...

Rac Bolton connected with the back of Clive sending them both off. Luckily the only thing broken was the bikes, Clive went top Hospital to be checked out, and the bikes were recovered..


Rachel went back in a Van with Chezza and her bloke who'd been kind enough to come out to the damsel in distress.




so after hanging around the roadside for a few hours, we were back on our way, albeit a little less joyful..


reached Scarborough and i turned off, and lost Matt, well he had found the hotel, whilst i took a not amused Techno on a mystery tour of scarborough, yep, i was lost, anyway after the second tour of Scarb, we took to the coast road/prom and found the hotel..

No he's pretty chilled out whats more funny is how long it now takes him to get to the bog!


Oh and the extra shit i'll get at work!


Keith we wernt just over the brow of the hill :booty:


Oh and the weekend was enjoyable in the whole rode back from scarboro pretty steady nice to see the x5 driver get pulled the knob lol and hopefully plenty of people got warned about the disgusting antics of the police sat at top of garrowby hill in an unmarked red transit and grey 4x4 safety my arse!


The copper who dealt with the accident tho was spot on!

Dude !!!!


Glad there wasn't any proper physical casualties, bikes are easier to fix !!


We actually past you guy's at the scene on sat afternoon, the cops where already there, so we karted on as there seemed to be a few people milling about, must have been about 3 miles East of sutton bank (We was riding Red/White/Black Aprillia RSV Factory and Green ZX10R). We stopped in Helmsley and was havin the crack about what must have happened. We said that it must have been a rear end shunt from a bike to bike (seeing that no cars was around).


Must have put a right dampner on the weekend for those involved :(


Anyway, everyone walked away which is always a good outcome !


Take it easy guy's - be safe

I was the one stood on the brow, signalling cars to slow for it, but had a few nobs who decided on overtakes then sh&t themselves with the blue lighters, all the bikes were glad of the heads up....

Cor blimey, Charlie!


I too, am glad to hear that no one was seriously hurt. Yes, it's a bugger but bikes are easier to fix than us bags of flesh and bone!


Hope everyone is soon back to full health and riding again!


I still wish I could've joined you but this week end was just not do-able! :(




P.S. I think I saw Steve & pal on my travels!

Just to give you an update, I was released from hospital with a massive bandage on my right knee nothing broken on the xrays, lots of swelling and fluid inside so couldn't see if there was any tissue or ligament damage, so hobbled out on a pair of crutches,

back to hospital Monday morning and swap massive bandage for a thackery splint for those medicalliy in the know, back in 10 days for another assessment when the swellings gone down,

as for the bike that's still in thirsk but insurance getting it sorted quickly.

Rachel no hard feelings, shit happens! Had to lose me crash virginity sooner or later, wish it was later thou lol got at least 2 weeks off work now so modern warefare 2 will get a hammering
