When travelling around on my 125, I'm using 3rd to 6th all the time, up and down, up and down, which I rather enjoy, it's very engaging. Reviews of the CB500s often say that that engine also needs...
I was aware of how uncontroversial a suggestion it would be in this thread :peach:
I knew I was onto something when I read some speed queen calling it weedy.
The train of thought that started with the Classic 350 and has trundled through the Interceptor 650, the Z650RS, the W800, the T100 etc took me to the local Triumph dealership, where they very...
Like a catwalk :congratulatory:

Don't worry about what direction I do things - everything gets done in both directions eventually
How about this:

If when going from Otley to Clitheroe, I wanted to drop down to the area around Hebden Bridge, would these be the most enjoyable roads for seeing the hills at their best?

The western end of my trip today

Took me a couple of hours!
All-purpose puns
fantastic news :applause:
Perhaps people with private plates make fewer claims? When I got my insurance, fully comp was literally cheaper, as it seems people who want to shell out for fully comp are lower risk.
Today I earnt my Riding In The Rain With Luggage badge. Wensleydale decided to ignore the forecast, and filled itself with cloud and meaningful drizzle. Very pretty, and fortunately I was stuck...
I've done that rainy hill from Grassington to Pateley Bridge a fair number of times. An engaging experience, to be sure, but not great at the end of a long day, especially with the traffic currently...
I was meaning that even just getting to/from Settle is a pita, so Hawes is the only easy focal point for me. Once they sort out the Blubberhouses road, there will be an easy route home from Settle,...
I gathered from the repeated Ride Safely signs that the Alston to Middleton-in-Teesdale road is a popular one with bikers. I'm wondering if I did it the wrong way: I was riding into a very stiff...
Sitting on a shady bench in Allendale Town's churchyard after 3½ hours of heading north: Buttertubs Pass, Arkangarthdale, Barnard Castle, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Westgate, Rookhope Arch, Allenheads....
Gold plated tool watch
I bought this just to be light and cheap for when I'm riding my bike. Now I can't remember when I last wore anything else

Mpg is 105 and tank holds over 2 gal, so I'm never remotely pressured.
I guess I'll see more of Settle once they sort out the main road at Blubberhouses. I've heard about the cafe at Feizor but...
Rode the 70 miles to Hawes in under 2 hours with my bag very safely strapped on the pillion. Quite enjoyed riding in a more stately fashion with my load to think of. I think I lalso liked having a...
So the DVLA will identify my having created a registration vacuum and will automatically dig up some random unused 2023 plate? Smashing. Cheers :)
Spent years tiptoeing my way to an Omega Globemaster. I wore it daily, but it lasted less than a year. It seemed like I existed for its benefit, not the other way round. Also the shade of blue wasn't...
I had looked at that page, but it days "Your original number plate will usually be reassigned to your vehicle automatically, if your application is successful."
Since its the original number that...
The plate I got with my new bike last year suits me as well as any plate could, so I'd like to take it with me when I next get a bike. I can't find the answer to this on the DVLA site.
If my next...
