Some nice stuff at Scarcliffe last night I took the Z as the 400/4 is still killing my Back I know I'm getting old  :

Scarcliffe - Bolsover way?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Out and about on the small back lanes over the Lincolnshire Wolds on the CD250u's today. These little bikes are brilliant for these roads, which are mainly single track with grass growing in the middle of them and usually only frequented by tractors or, this time of year, combines.

We have lots of roads like that here in Devon, come to think of it, the A382 from Bovey Tracey to Okehampton (about 35 miles) is like that most of the way, great fun driving a full size coach through there and meeting some tw*t in a BMW driving like a numpty, they HATE having to back up! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Yes John, a lazy 4 stroke is the perfect description of the perfect bike for these roads. So easy to ride, handle superbly on dodgy road surfaces but still do 70 mph no problem at all when you get back out on the main roads. I have done these lanes on Hettie, the 400/4 and she absolutely hates them, all those gear changes up hill down dale are a pain in the arse. The CB550/4 is a better on the lanes but she is just a tad too powerful.

Are you eating crunchy nut cornflakes (other brands of cereal are available)  John? They all seem to be looking at you in a weird way  ;D

I like seeing all the out and about photos posted,  some really nice bikes to see.

They HATE it, but if they don't, I just stick the handbrake on and pick up my newspaper and start reading it, I don't care how long I sit there, I get paid until I get back to the yard, never takes more than 3 or 4 minutes until they back up!
