Thursday Rideout ... fun in the Yorkshire Wolds.

[Trooper74]

So up at 0700hrs.
Holiday not a work day, so a lay in.
Remove cover, unlock bike and lube chain ..it lives outdoors ..
Coffee and biscuits, feed dog, feed fish, switch on heating, take meds ...
Dress ..
Riding through Doncaster then on to Selby and up into the Wolds at Pocklington ( Refuel ), good mix of fast A roads and twisty B roads, then on to Seaways Cafe at Fridaythorpe .... The wind. The 20mph wind. The Tail wind !
7-9 deg C, comfortable in the Cordura and body armour shell jacket and trousers. I wear cycle bib tights under the motorbike kit ... super comfy...
Baked beans with toast and a hot chocolate later we're off ... York then to Leeds to drop some small Xmas pressies off to Julies big Brother ....
The wind. The head wind. The cross wind ... THE NOISE !! THE BUFFETING !!
For the first ride in probably 45 years i don't have ear plugs in .... all mine have disappeared ( tidied up Julie ?? ).
Black tea, shark fin, at big bruvs and off home down the A1..
The bloody wind !!
But a great day out .. 168 miles of fun ....

 

 

The Honda Transalp next to my bike is bristling with small but brilliant mods .. a real go anywhere motorbike.
