Dead jealous of all these fine photos, went out with my mate last Friday for a spin out to Betws y Coed from Chester, the ride there wasn't too bad some light rain but on the way back the heavens opened, so I spent an hour riding home in pouring rain. Found out that my boots, leggings and gloves all leaked like sieves, however as I have not ridden in torrential rain since the 1980's it was a learning curve and I will be a lot more confident if caught out in the rain in the future.

Cheers

Went out for the afternoon on the F1, decided to have a wander around the Wirral, it's a peninsular so even I couldn't get lost, I wanted to ride around the coast.
The weather stayed fine for once and it was going well until I was in sight of New Brighton when I came across a road block as there was a fire further ahead. Tried bypassing the block but failed miserably so I retraced my steps and came home.

Had a lovely few hours out on Hettie the CB400/4 today. I haven't ridden her that much over the past  few weeks due to it being so hot but today was perfect at 20 degrees for a good ride. They are hot running bikes at the best of times and with the temps having been in the 30's I have been using the CB550/4. Hettie has now done almost 1000 miles since all the engine work and she is running beautifully. The engine is nice and loose now, very free reving and responsive, a right little pocket rocket.......so much fun.
