MtotheJ Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Speaking of Dukes i saw a brand new 09 plate 1198s that had gone down the road badly, on the back of an AA van yesterday. Bet the owner feels like a right tit! Anyway... Quote
Guest Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 The Route...Devils Bridge, Kendal, Ings, Kirkstone pass, Hartside, Alston, Middleton in Teesdale, Brough, Sedbergh, Devils Bridge..Run nearly ended as soon as it began, as on the road out of Kendal, I had to execute an emergency stop due to a car in front of the one in front of me, decided on a late manouever into a siding.. car in front locked up, and i sh&t myself, laying down brakes and rubber.. luckily the only "Event" of my day.. though Andy came across a BMW driver completing a 3 point turn, and a chat with the old bill,..Kirkstone pass, looking down the Struggle..http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/simonevans73/Image0063.jpgHartside Cafe for a spot of lunch..http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/simonevans73/Image0064.jpgsomewhere on the road.. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/simonevans73/Image0065.jpghttp://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/simonevans73/Image0066.jpg Quote

cruz Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 "the Struggle" is an awesome road to go up, (Ambleside to Kirkstone pass) you can see it in the picture..But when you ride it you know why it is named as such.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/MMadmac/P1000152.jpgOne of them is me. Quote
