Stunning scenery Julie, worth getting a soaking for.
That's not Trigs 'Build a sohc for under a grand' is it, looks great if it is👍.
Haha, no Dave, this isn't that bike, this is a UK 750/4 K6.... He has finished the 'less than a grand' bike and its bloody stunning but I haven't finished making the seat cover for it yet (as Trig reminds me daily 🙄🙄🙄) so not on the road quite yet.
You need to get your finger out Julie and get that seat finished  ;) Have you got used to going UP/DOWN the hills as you don't get much practice where you live.
Great pictures.

Still in Derbyshire, got bloody soaked again today but still great riding. These 2 bikes just run so well in all weathers.

We survived the deluge riding back from Derbyshire on Wednesday 😁😁😁 It was still very nice to get away for a few days even though the weather was typically British at time 🙄🙄🙄
Out and about in the Wolds this evening and a stop off for a Coca-Cola at Revesby.

After MOTing,  insuring and taxing my GPZ500S,  which hasn't run for about 7 years,  I decided it needed a good run.
Me and 15 other riders went on a 220 mile trip to Aberystwyth.   It ran OK, except the balance pipe between the 2 exhaust pipes was blowing and got progressively louder as the day went on.  I'll fix it tomorrow with some stainless sheet and some jub clips. 
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Lovely blue sky where you were John. A fair amount of cloud up in the Wolds today and the low temperature made it feel decidedly Autumnal. Nevertheless, a very nice bimble on the little bikes, with a stop off for a pie and a pint to celebrate Grahams Birthday.

I think so Tim 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm lucky I suppose that he's so easy to please, I'm even baking him some cakes at the moment, so I think he's really being spoilt 😊😊😊😊

You notice how flat it is.

Reminds me of Norfolk. Lincolnshire and Suffolk
