The Forest of Bowland ride out is off, instead it has been replaced with a ride around the Yorkshire Dales, but I might have to miss this one as the route start and return are via the A1(M), unless they change route or I go my own way and meet up somewhere and make my own way back home

why dont you do your test ?

It was my old stomping ground nearly every weekend growing up was spent in the Dales.

Family BBQ as it's my burpday next week, first year of my 30s done. 

 

Got some friends coming up from London as well, almost feels dirty to admit to having friends over after the year we've had in the pandemic.

We often head to Grassington for a brew, then head over to Masham, Aysgarth and Hawes. Some fantastic roads and brew stops.

I might go out that way anyway even if I don't go on the club ride, it has been a long time since I was out that way.

Going to the Van in Cornwall - as long as my head stops tripping out by then

A very enjoyable weekend . I got it into my head to go to Wales on Saturday afternoon so I grabbed just the basics for a one night camp and set off . 

 

Looks like the the Elan Valley estate, the mountain road from Rhayader to Devils Bridge, about a mile after the turning to the dams?

[Turbogirlie]

I think we'll just head out on the bikes, preferably into mid Wales but depends on the weather...

One day they will turn off the petrol . It's a shame you can't get a test ride on a Sportster . These things are such a laugh to ride . I'm sure that you would be instantly hooked .

I have sat on a couple of different HD's at the club bike nights and with the engine running too.

One of my favourite places ever.  Can imagine it was a lovely place to camp.  Nice one!

I will be stepping up in the near future, but I have had comments about Xena and the way that we can outride others on bigger bikes, and that they had to really turn on the power to keep up going through the twisties

Up early tomorrow to sadly get on public transport to go collect my new to me Tracer 700. I'll be putting pictures up just for Stu as he's a little sensitive about posts about new bikes without pictures 

 

The joke part is that the 700 was more expesive than the 900 to insure, but I just didn't feel right on the 900.

We're going out tonight! to a social club to support a local act

Working, so as per usual my weekend is just part of a normal working week. However, yesterday I collected my wad of euros and on Tuesday the Africa Twin is having a minor service, oil and both filters (it has 2 oil filters) plus new brake fluid. It has also had a new rear tyre. A Conti trail attack, it lasted almost 8500 miles. The front is fine, but will probably need replacing at the end of the winter. 8 more night shifts to go.
