Featured Rideout Today’s Rideout

Out and about this morning at 08:30 after the first breakfast of the day and the outside temp had risen according to the thermometer to 3*c.

Met my riding buddy at 08:45 and we’re off through Congleton, over the top to Buxton via the A54 picking up the A6 before turning left onto the B6049 through Millers Dale and Litton.
Turning right onto the A623 for half a mile calling into Yondermann Cafe for my second breakfast, well we had just ridden 50 miles in chilly conditions



Decided not to use the Tiger for today’s rideout, so it was the turn of my old 1984 Honda CB700 Nighthawk to stretch its legs. She’s having a rest at Yondermann Cafe carpark.


Fuelled up with the second breakfast and a couple of coffees it’s the home leg via Chapel-en-le Frith, Whaley Bridge.
Picking up the B5470 to Macclesfield, through Macc and onto Holmes Chapel via the B5392 and onwards home.
Total mileage 98 miles.

Got home at about 12:15 and wifey was out,,,,wtf where’s my lunch

 

Thanks Andy, she looks better in the picture than real life.

 

Well worth a stop for food, local produce used. Yummy

 

Hi, mine is a 1984 model.

Had it about 8 or 9 years now, the only problem I have is the low seat height and the knee and hip joints are starting to seize.
I was considering selling her but we’ll see.

My riding buddy has just rebuilt a 650 Nighthawk, it’s as good as new now as are the 30 odd other bikes he’s rebuilt/owns and he uses them.
He’s fanatical about his rebuilds.

 

Now just a minute, they didn’t have to slaughter a herd of cows to make my leathers

If ever the RSPCA find out you’ll be in deep sh1t
