More on this, pls :welcoming:
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...
I knew him first and I knew him well
My pockets are always full of snacks, so I'm sure I can live without a mid-ride cuppa and cheese toastie for once. But, you know....
On Monday, I'll be taking a daytrip to the Forest of Bowland from Hawes. It'll be less than a 120 miles as I want to save energy for a longer trip to the North Pennines the next day. Hopefully a...
I'm not going to.
There's the underside strap going under the locked down pillion seat.
There will be two straps going to and from the rear corners of the bag, ducking under the tail by two...
I always supposed that once I progress from my 125 I'd be getting a top box, now I know for sure.
The underside of the bag has a strap that can go under the removable pillion seat.
Annoyingly...
Just learnt that the Manor Farm Cafe at Bellerby has new management. The hours and menu have slowly built up and it seems to be fully operational now.
Maybe I should loop the two rear corner straps under the tail, so they're both going from one side of the bike to the other?

Just had a trial go at attaching my roll bag to the pillion seat of my CB125R.
There's a fat single strap that gets locked in place by feeding it under the pillion seat. The only possible four...
Lovely ride in the Wolds and Howard Hills, with an accompanying pitter patter of tiny deaths on my visor. At one point I felt myself wipe out an entire family of weeny bugs in one go.
It became a free-standing expression in certain British and American circles. Those of us brought up in old-fashioned environments were faintly aware of it, as a nice way of being ironic about one's...
