OUT AND ABOUT 2018
« on: April 14, 2018, 04:45:11 PM »
At last......a ride out in the sun in the UK. It seems to have been a long old winter (except when I was in India  ;D). I was desperate to go for a ride, I still haven't built the carbs for the CB400/4 to get her run in and I haven't finished the seat for the CB550 mongrel, so can't start running her in yet either. Anyways, found another old Honda at home to ride today.......felt fantastic being out riding a bike again......I hate it when I'm  not riding regularly. Stopped off for a cuppa, some nice bikes out today. The Velocette was a peach.

I had a nice ride down to Ladybower res today via Holmfirth, Holme Moss , Glossop and over snake pass. There are still some odd pockets of snow going over the pass and the road surface leave a little to be desired in parts for such a nice road. Just 100miles round trip.

Are you on some health kick John? Probably the first post of one of your rides with no mention of a burger!

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
