Bright here now in the middle of the country but too bloody cold and windy for a bike ride, or a swim in the sea 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

Time for another little run out. All working great though front brake needs more miles to bed in. This is looking out over morecambe Bay near Cartmel Close to my home. 550 has got a lot of soul and is a very comfortable  ride for my rubbish hip joints. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Took the CB550 out today for a 25 mile loop.
Pictures were taken in the exact spot the camera man was on a iconic Rainier Beer Commercial in 1978 with a 1978 CB750K8.
video link below.
great memories from my childhood. nearly impossible to round the corner without  mimicking the commercial.
Sound on for sure!

Took the Wing out for a long run, here she is looking towards Glen Moriston and the Five Sisters of Kintail in the far distance...lovely day but she's a fair lump and I was pretty tired after the 190 mile ride... [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

That's a great view Hubert,
I was round there last year and it always feels very special, almost regardless of the weather as long as you have the right kit. My favourite is the Mam Ratagan pass.  Although I had a few 'Wings, I never had an 1100 but the odd ones I rode did seem more cumbersome than the others - the 1500 felt like more of a sports bike in comparison!

I've had a KZ Wing, Ian and both these are good handlers never ridden the 1500, it's the bulk that's put me off...the sheet size of it...my 1100 handles quite well with the Hagon Nitros at the back and Hagon fork springs at the front and bt45's...well enough for me anyway...you're right it's lovely up there, I was surprised that all the hotels up there want £130 plus per night b&b! Cheapskate me makes it there and back for the last ferry
