Well, I had a fab time! Wind nearly as good as barmouth, lotsa good roads, getting lost, dead ends, familiar faces, new faces , chips n curry, 2 wheels - joyous! What more could ya' ask for a sunny sunday! Incriminating pics to follow lol, and sorry Kaz, but it's gotta be done!
Well we decided last min this morning that we'd go as far as Hutton-le-Hole so set off at 10.30am.
Enjoyed our hour long stop with XK apart from getting a thrashing from hail stones!
After everyone departed we hung around for another 15 mins debating what to do and decided we'd double back and go the longer faster route to Whitby after all for some fish and chips.
Nice to catch up with those who we did.
Wonders if i can mek a submarine on two wheels. Still did'nt spoil a good ride with the lads from Northumbria.Nice to see you ole codgers,oh sorry Bill see you wern't there.Hear you climb a ladder like i ride a bike....Lmao,nice one marra Get well soon ya daft bugga!
Good ride out & we all managed to get to Whitby together, and *ahem* in one piece, sorry for the scare Sweet, I still dont know how I kept it together lol I now hurt like hell, I think after my narrow escape on the cattle grid I didn't ride as fluid as normal, long hot bath needed I think
The route we followed was the one that Bill had planned so thanks to Bill for that, but big thanks to Ian for making sure my sat nav had the same route as his in it so when we did have to stop we knew where he had gone.
It was great to see the new members that came, even better to know that you enjoyed your day.
Once again it was great to see everyone, old, new & even older that havnt been about for a while
Just got home!
Had a brilliant ride out.. tho I'm not sure about chimney bank.. 1:3 downward hill with 2 scarey hairpins...then getting to the bottom to find out the road ahead was closed, so a very dodgy 2 point turn that turn into 3 point push in reverse (thanks Shell) before a scarey ride back up again...lol and Kwakarider............photos?? You grrrrrr haha
The ride back to Squires was ''eventful' too...VERY windy .. me and zig were doing a Salsa on them there roads...and yes I'm aching too! lol
Ziggy has blown a gasket and needs a new spark plug and the carbs cleaning, so I've been told...(thanks Sweep! lol) He sounds like a Harley at the moment...bless him! lol
Great to meet new faces, and people I've talked to but not yet met, as well as the usual suspects
Had a good night camping at Squires on Saturday night, met up with Skinny Lady and Pete and a couple of others, who were camping too, on their way back from Scotland.
Bill... gutted you couldn't make it hun.. and was shocked to hear about your fall...big hugs to you and all the best, I hope you're not in too much pain and are back on the blade soon xxxx
Thanks Ian and Shell and Xk and HarryHonda for sorting out the journeys today.
Another great day out with great mates
