So where did you get to today??

I went for a blast out to Squires near Sherburn In Elmet, North Yorkshire. Well, i say blast, it was actually a steady ride on the XT....







Loads of bikes out....







Unfortunately a few wont be making it home under their own steam though....







Hopefully they'll be alright


So where did you get to?? And on what??

Yes I was at Squires too and saw the aftermath, that was just after a rider fell off in the car park and broke the front mudguard of the bike next to mine. I think the great weather today brought out a lot of rusty riders.
Ride safe Steve.

I was only thinking today when i was riding along how many crap riders there are out there these days. No awareness of who or what is around them, and basically clueless when it comes to road craft. Really scary and i'm glad i'm not riding next to them

Could well be true - runs into back of car, gets thown into the path of the bikes coming the other way. Similar thing happened a couple of years back from what i've read, except it was a car coming the other way.

If it is true then very sad times


*edited to say - i was following another bike down Camblesforth straight towards Selby earlier, he overtook a Corsa i think it was, when he was along side the cars brake lights came on, is was like wtf? Didnt brake hard, but bloody strange. You never know what some people are going to do.

went with a few friends to Aberystwyth for the day mainly for steady ride there and back was great day out hopefully first of many sunny days this year.

The Ducatti in the group broke down on way back problem in the carbs had to pass my Yamaha toolkit to the mechanics in the group to get bike fixed is there any kind of treatment needed to get rid the Ducatti germs from my Yam tools as i dont wanna be catching any that Ducatti reliability disease

Went green laning round the Cotswolds on my DRZ yesterday. Stunning day! You hardly see anyone or any traffic on the back roads and lanes round there. Part of the route takes me onto and across a few A roads and at one point I thought I was lost and had ended up on Donnington race track . It was heaving with bikes round that way - some being ridden well, some not so well .

Hiya Rich, i got my bike out to play, then got collared by my son to go to the park! To be honest i'm glad i didn't get to Sherburn there wasn't half some nutters about on bikes and it really upset and saddens me when i see an accident. Glad you and the other guys had a good ride out. Tony
