I went out early on the Thruxton before it got to hot. Stopped for a drink at Broxton and then stopped under the shade by the canal. moved on to J & S where I came across a RE Continental GT and two Thruxton RS special additions.
Rode to Knott End with my buddy on his MV as he was riding back to London. Cracking breakfast in a quieter than expected cafe. Temperature was just right on the way there but too much on way home.
After returning from my latest trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina (https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/weekend-3-in-bosnia-and-herzegowina.35447/), my Honda has a break until thursday. Until then, my T120 will accompany me back to the office.
They do a good breakfast at both cafes, Sunday mornings are really quiet now, most tend to go to Glasson Dock, Wednesday evenings still see a fair few attending, however an awful lot gravitate to Glasson Dock, the classic bike night at Wray gets bigger and bigger, the classic car night gets that busy people are being turned away. I always avoid the Bridge personally and head to Hawes (cheapest petrol around as well, it is a none for profit local amenity) or Settle and further up to the Lakes.
Because of an urgent matter I was today at night at short notice over 130 km on the road with my Bonnie T120. It was not my first night ride with her, but I am very satisfied with the quality of the headlights and the available light even in complete darkness.
Just saw a feature on Granada news about the Hawes filling station. One of those ideas that deserves all support available! Yeah, I avoid the Bridge myself as much as possible. Not my favourite place.
That's right @Vulpes Years ago certain people I rode with wanted to go there every Sunday When you got there it was invariably full of idiots so the novelty soon wore off for me!
I took the Tiger in for a check up before my Spain trip. New tyres (pilot 5’s) and front brake pads. All good now for my trip, lovely
Commute for me today....had a weird experience on the way home. Large dead birds all over the road in one section and other birds struggling to fly - flying into vehicles, landing on the road and getting hit etc. Really odd, took a bit of concentration dodging big carcasses and trying not to get flown into by the still - living.
