Out and about in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Up to about 3400 ft....only another 3000 odd Ft to go and will be at the top of Mt Olympus. The mountain passes are fantastic, twistes all the way but you have to keep avoiding the rock falls and the dried up pine needles which are so slippery. Max speed about 15-20 mph to be on the safe side. 2 up on a Kymco 125, fantastic little bike for these roads. I'm riding pillion and just watching the scenery....which is stunning.

Made it up to the top of Mt Olympus yesterday, 6400 ft. Took 2½ hours to ride up and the same to ride down. The little Kymco 125 did the job fine, just. As usual with biking, it was the journey and not the destination that it was all about. Stunning scenery and a real adventure. Beautiful weather until we left the top of the mountain and then the temperature dropped by about 15° and it started rain, really, really hard. We couldn't ride for quite a while as rock falls happening everywhere and the road was like a very fast flowing river. Tried to shelter under some trees but still ended up saturated and as we were only in shorts and t shirts, it got bloody cold. Never mind...the rain eventually eased and by the time we got down to about 3000ft, the sun came out, the temperature shot back up and we were fully dried out by the time we got back to the apartment. A real adventure and just great fun.

You've got much better weather than me Julie. Just travelled across Scotland to the far end of the Isle of Skye, most of the way in torrential rain and strong wind. A lot of very wet bikers on the road, even some crazy cyclists!

Yes.

I must admit to not visiting since I donated the engine "to a good home"

I had hoped that they would have displayed the history of the engine (who built it and why it was thrown out by the Honda dealer during a refurb)

Never mind - at least it's not stashed away in someone's barn any more...

Interesting to read where the cutaway motor came from.Some building work being carried out at museum and exhibits scattered randomly around so maybe it lives in a better spot normally?

Out and about on the Wolds....beautiful but a bit blowy
