A few more

A super day out Gareth, thanks for putting up the pictures....bit far for me to go there and back in a day but next time I'll plan ahead and look for reasonable b and b ....😁🙏👍

It's a good day out - or 2 if you're very keen. Something for everyone. I even picked up a couple of things from the autojumble.

You're right Gareth since joining the SCMC I've realised there's lots of events in Scotland, I'm going to dispense with the annual trip to Stafford and go to these...it's shame though the price of b and b is now in the low hundred mark

I really am back this time :D
Had a free couple of hours today.
Started working at 2am and finished at 10am still buzzing  ;D
Done a load of overdue invoices. Still buzzing.
Started thinking about getting the zxr400 back on the road.
Couldn't get to it in the garage. So bled the brakes and clutch on the Guzzi.
Still buzzing  ;D
Still couldn't get to the zxr as the 750 was in the way.
It was filthy as I haven't used it for almost 2 years. Washed it.
Tried to start it out of curiosity and it fired up almost instantly.
Definitely still buzzing.
Just come back from an hour's ride and still buzzing   :)

I've been taking advantage of the dry spell so yesterday had a run out from Derby to Ashbourne then up Swinscoe Hill through Waterhouse's to just beyond Bottom Houses towards Ipstones. The return trip was a tad over 52 miles.

The bike ran like a dream but the rider less so, for the last few miles my neck ached plus my wrists were sore from all the Potholes.

Today I did a slightly different route to try to find a smoother road plus I tried to relax my hands a tad, after 35 miles I stopped for a Coffee to give my neck a rest.

I'm trying to ride more regularly to build up my confidence & general strength - at 76 is my body trying to tell me I'm too old?

I think my anticipation skills are good but my very low speed riding skills could be better.
