Great to know you are back home safe and sound James, you needed to go around a few roundabouts to catch Dave R up on the mileage front!
Thanks once again for your company, at least the weather gods were with us during the weekend itself ,dry ride home I hope. |

Thursday started well, dry and bright with a gleaming Monster and dacs for company on his M1000Sie. As you know, it conked out about 30 miles in. Dacs insisted I carried on to meet Grumpy, while he was recovered to continue on his M750 on Friday.
Grumpy and I rode on to the digs in North Yorkshire via Lincolnshire. It rained and Grumpy's visor broke! Visor damage assessment stop at Whitby Abbey. Note reasonably clean bikes. View from the digs... Smashing when the Sun came out just long enough for supper al fresco, with a sea view. Friday it rained hard all day until about 30 miles shy of Barrow and we managed to find the filthiest road in Yorkshire! My total miles from home to the gig; 424. Saturday was fabulous with Adie leading the run at a sensible rate in sunshine with stunning views of all the scenery we missed yesterday in the murk and mire. Sunday was gloriously laid back, we even had a train ride. Colin was chuffed to bits! I loved the views of the Isle of Man from the coast road. Sympathy and empathy for Chris with his fuelling incident, but a great display of camaraderie to get him back on the road with hopefully no damage. You're in an elite set now Chris with the best.. Simply fabulous company all weekend, great rides, great views.. Magnificent!! Well done North West section.. And thank you all. Hit rain on the gruelling A1 portion of the ride home, arrived home about 4pm after 980 miles over the 5 days out.

So finally photos edited and ready but you're probably bored of seeing yet another Ducati?
Before that, HUGE thanks to everyone I met for being patient with me and giving me so much advice during the weekend. just by watching you guys (and Barbara!) ride taught me so much...... Lessons learnt- (in no particular order) CHECK TYRE PRESSURES REGULARLY (thanks for the spot Mark!!) I'm a better rider than I thought I was I still have so much more to learn I need to ride more Autosol ( or was it AutoGlym? darn it!!) and card behind the chain ..simple when you know how..(thanks Adie!) Balls of the feet on the pegs...I'd forgotten about that (thanks Barbara!) The drop off system aint scary Theres more but you get the picture! Massive thanks to Mike for organising a fantastic weekender the first of many I hope for me.. Last edited by ColinS2R; 29-06-2021 at 10:12 AM.. Reason: add photos |

Thank you so much to Mike and others involved in organising what was a very successful and enjoyable week-end. Give yourselves a pat on the back It was also really nice to behave like (near ) normal again too. Seems so long since I did .
I hadn't met anyone in the club apart from Adie before the event but I can say that without fail everyone who attended was pleasant , easy to talk to and good company. It was most unexpected to win Bike of the Year . I think you must have been nice to the new boy but I'm very proud all the same . I have negotiated a nice spot on the kitchen wall for display purposes as we are not rich enough to own a mantlepiece to put it on. Maybe it was Gasa's oil cooler cover that swayed the voters. Buy now while stocks last and you too could win next year's Bike of the year ! Thanks again Nigel
