Rideout Where has everyone been out and about on there bikes today

drove home from Hull today, not on the bike, boo, an artic had squashed a car on the North side of the M18, pity the poor buggers queued up behind it, they must have had to have waited for hours. no one hurt by the looks of it

 

I've been to Wales where the traffic was busy too . 5hrs in the sadle and 240 miles plus several stops to ease a sore bum.

 

Breakfast at Loomies and a 2 hour ride around. Lots of bikes out while the sun was shining!
Too many cars though - M3 was solid heading south when I crossed it and two accidents on the A34 on the way back home.

 

Sounds a bit dangerous Steve - take good care of yerself.

 

Cheers Dave -you too.

 

Due to the marvellous weather and slowly repairing wrist I was in the garage giving the S/Master a pre-MOT once over and running it up to charge the battery.

 

Been bloody nowhere!

 

I think that was what everyone did who had the day off judging by the amount of power rangers that were out yesterday, though there was a good smattering of just about everything out from an Indian some HDs, tourers and of course loads of GS's and other ADV bikes. I even saw an outfit

 

Over the last 4 days I've been london to hull back to london over to Gloucester up to Leeds and going back to london, all in the car!! Loved every mile of it NOT!!

 

I think you'll find that it was the Easter National SCOOTER Rally. Most of the rally going scooterists put in a huge amount of miles in a year, riding the length and breadth of the UK and also attending rallies across Europe…………. A lot more than some 'weekend motorcyclists' would do per year.
All of that done on machines that were not designed to be used for long distance touring (granted the modern Vespa GTS300s are mile munchers).

I myself, have been attending National (and International) scooter rallies since the early 1980's.

 

You have got to give the scooter boys (and girls) credit,Hardy and dedicated,It's a pleasure to see then out and about in numbers

 

What colour is it

 

i was thinking about you yesterday and today and hoping you'd miss the rain, we've had a lot of heavy showers in between the sunshine today bit i think it's going to rain free tomorrow so should be a good run home for you

 

I'd ride that stretch of road every day if I could..... lovely part of the world, never tire of it

Very jealous but hopefully i'll get out for a run tomorrow myself.
