Lovely bike and great scenery - it's been pouring down all day here with strong winds, you were lucky to be able to get out up there.

A lovely sunny morning.
Chance to take the 2 Hondas out.
Very enjoyable.
Bring on spring and summer

At last.... We managed to get out and about for a nice 75 mile ride this morning on the SOHC Twin twins . Roads still muddy around here but at least its dry mud at the moment. Windy and a bit chilly up on top of the Wolds but very pleasant nonetheless.

Make the most of it we could end up in lock down soon. The roads around here are noticeably quieter.

The roads around the Lincolnshire Wolds are always quiet Chris. Today, I think we saw 8 cars, 15 tractors and a bloke hearding sheep along the road, that's about normal for around here really. Surely, even if we get to lock down stage, bike riding won't be included I hope 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I was in hospital yesterday seeing about a new hip and i ended up differing it for at least 6mnths.  Seems to me like the are wanting to clear the wards in readiness. Must say it was the cleanest i have ever seen it.  Back in tomorrow for CLL check and that should be me done there for 6mnths. God willing.  ;)

I changed the rear shocks on the CL450, from the very original, but completely untroubled by damping, DeCarbon 1969 set to a new pair from TEC. As I explained to the wife, they were'nt going to test ride themselves, so had to leave her mowing the lawn single handed - she's bust her wrist so has an arm in plaster. She can't go on the back as her leather won't go over the cast, but she doesn't fancy it much anyway on the CL as there's no backrest or grab rail. She's been spoiled by the Sportster with it's backrest, you couldn't fall off even if you were unconscious (it's been tested).

So off up the valleys on the back roads to Standedge, where I stopped to admire the view. Although sunny the wind was freezing. The house in the background, behind the twistgrip, I'm told, was the 'local shop' in The League of Gentlemen.



Looking down the valley, towards Diggle.



When I got home, both lawns were mowed, no viruses caught, and the new shocks had been a worthwhile improvement so a result all round! :)

On seeing these pictures, I just cleaned the lens on my phone, the dust from living in my pocket adds to the 'soft focus' effect like people use on dating photos.

That's Social Isolation at its best Dave. I'm doing plenty of that, dug the old flask out and we can have a great time out without catching anything untoward. Lovely photos, looks stunning up there.

Evidently petrol pumps are a good source for catching the virus. Either wear gloves or sanitise after filling.
That apparently is an urban myth.

But It is worth being careful

It's a point of contact.  Someone else has touched those buttons and hoses just before you.

Leave your gloves on to fill up.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
