Jealous you boys are allowed out…Scotland still locked down.

Just mind and social distance, don’t ride in groups, don’t ride like a wally and take a packed lunch.

Plus One Ron. Good job the EvO's chained to the ground or else I'm sure it would be trying to escape by now. Just wish I'd Sorn'd it back in march to ease the temptation..

Not being funny but do you really need to ask. If you feel its justified you will do it. If not you wont.

75 miles in Derbyshire this evening, very little traffic and petrol only 99p a litre - what's not to like?

Just had new tyres fitted yesterday(to loose wheels) but she is staying in the garage as I started the decorating in our bedroom yesterday, so the project manager has stated that the bedroom comes first, mind you we had a frost this morning, so staying in and keeping warm.

Went out for a ride yesterday expecting to see a lot of people out and about but the roads were fairly quiet. Went down to Minehead and around to Lynmouth via Porlock hill and only saw 6 other bikes. I'd say get out while you can before it catches on and the roads fill up.

Evostu · 14-05-2020, 01:59 PM

Porlock hill....now there's a blast from the past...not been up there for many a year,burnt the clutch out on my 1100 mk1 escort towing a trailer with 2 trials bikes up there lol....circa 1985ish lol

Tim88 · 14-05-2020, 07:52 PM

Popped out this evening!

Go on, you know you want to!

Looking good, Tim. Shame your tankbag hasn't arrived yet - you could have tried it out!

I like the exhaust by the way. Is it SC Project?

Tim88 · 14-05-2020, 08:47 PM

Yes, SC exhaust...and you read my mind! I was looking forward to 'test riding' the tank bag! I hope that will be very soon, so this ride was to 'test' my new battery!
