Lovely pictures, the scenery is fantastic. I love most bikes but the Trident outside the cafe is just beautiful, had a few in the past along with Bonnies and I miss them all  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

looks a great area to explore,

  maybe in the future I will get up there,

  just out of interest,fuel consumption ,when I am out having fun,(on the bike)  I normally get 10 miles per litre,works out at 45 mph,
unless I hurry,when it drops to around 42 mpg,

 that gives me about 106 from fill up to reserve,its been like that for years,got worse a few years ago,but a fresh air filter improved
it again,are these numbers typical ?,how do your bikes compare ?

Tell them all to keep out of the way of the Downtons trucks delivering to UBL at the next roundabout as they have 96,000 empty glass bottles in them!! makes a hell of a mess in an accident and the fall over easy if you break hard!!!
