Looks grunty Gerhed, what's the comfort level like on trips?
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Hush,

Don't do trips.
A little java---play "Detour" on the juke--go out & do the "ton"
--back to the cafe in time to play "The Lonely One"
on the flip side.

Rode to work yesterday - 95 miles round trip. 38 degrees when I left, but a nice 60 when I went home.  Ran like a champ.

Excellent photos of Cumbria and I do believe that section of M6 in the photo is where I was pulled over on my own CB750F2 in 2002 by the local Cumbria constabulary  ;). I was riding to Glasgow from Oxford...had to come back a few weeks later for the court appearance...by bike of course  ;D.

One of my favourite M6 sections.

Keep the pics coming!

cheers

Today--Out in the "wilds" of Northern Virginia.


I was there yesterday too!
I like to start my rides in Clifton, then get myself lost.... I ran all through Clifton, Lorton, Occquan, Woodbridge and Manassas to the tune of 75 back road miles yesterday, surprised we didn't bump into each other!

Some pictures taken on a recent one-day trip to a well-known cherry tree valley here in Spain. The first picture was taken outside Avila's city walls. Hope you like them.
