Geoff .. sounds like you get some decent miles in to get your bacon sarnies ... even at this time of year .. commendable indeed. You are of course spot on with your idea of enjoying the ride.

I've skidded more miles for a bacon buttie

Oh Dave I forgot to mention, If you are "Avin it" on Sunday, we have a rule that the youngest member of the group gets the butties in.

Yes I have read it, and as I have said many times on here,  motorways are for folk in a rush, or people who have no appreciation of the beauty to be seen whilst using other less frequented roads. I used the German autobahns once whilst on a trip to Austria, and to be honest it scared the shit  out of me. No matter how fast I was going there was ALWAYS someone in my mirror looking to go faster . Motorcycling should be fun , and I just cant see how anyone could gleen any fun from just droning along in a straight line on a bike . I still love getting a shift on, but I am never in a rush.     Dave the bridge is 43 miles from my palace in the Dales,  but I have been up there 3 times already this week, and this time of year we have to be sensible regarding how far we go, taking into account failing light, and weather conditions. BUT in summer it is not unusual for us to meet at 7 bells and not get home until 10 pm, I'm sure you will be up for some of that . Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, unless your good lady has seen you off by then with some dodgy welks or a rancid curry.

Geoff my old chum No biker likes motorways but there a necessary evil..  a means to a end and well worth the time I spent on them to visit the French/swiz alps and the italian lakes and other places that would otherwise take all bloody day just to get there if motorways weren't used I've done the French and swiz alps trip on my 2008 ZZR1400 and on my 2010 GTR1400 and both bikes just swallowed the miles up with extreme ease I had no significant aches or pains on either bike after 10 hours in the saddle. but overall the ZZR get's my vote due to it's blistering acceleration and being alot more fun on the twisties

Geoff..  but not got all day for myself hope to get there about 11.30am. my wife is working till 2.00pm and as plans for me in the afternoon unless I can get out of them it will only be a bridge visit this Sunday but just enough time for a brew and to slag each other off a bit more if the wolf see's this he may also turn up

[Lonewolf]

Dave, I never turn up anywhere unless I'm invited.....and so far I haven't been!

sorry steve but in the old boys eyes your just to "young" no pun intended I've only just scraped through myself

[Lonewolf]

I cant risk going anyway if you are still infected even slightly. If I pass anything onto the wife she'll end up in hospital.

Steve.. I only had the wild  s for 4 days not CHOLERA and very pleased to inform you that everything as now hardened up just the way it should be

P.S  I've only just scraped through myself.. meaning I'm slightly older than you and not still feeling slightly

Half eleven    Ferkin day will be half over by then. Ya should get yerself another bird, one that realizes that bikers leave home at the crack of dawn, and come home when the dot goes off. Whatever happened to men who put woman firmly in their place. woman should be happy to spend all afternoon running a bath, and cooking a 4 course meal for when you return from a FULL days motorcycling with your OLD mates. And then when you are washed and fed a proper woman would read a motorcycle magazine to you until you finally nod off    Ah the end of a perfect day

Steve, you are more than welcome to show up at the bridge on Sunday,               However if you arrive at 11-30              I will more than likely have gone       BUT    If Daves wife does let him out ( no guarantee of that happening), and he shows up at the bridge you could have a butty and brew together, and have a chat,                                     about Motorways

Geoff, I may just come along, I'm going stir crazy not riding the bike. I'm hoping to have a short ride Friday and then either get out Saturday or Sunday weather permitting. I'm still recovering from a minor incident involving me in a car (thankfully) and a 44 ton arctic which jumped some trafic lights on the 28th March. My backs not 100% yet but I should be strong enough to hold the bike up.

I managed to find one that not only bought the bike for me, but is happy for me to spend all day out on it, either with or without her. We're off to Devon for the weekend on it.

Mind you, i wouldn't let her do the cooking, much safer if i do that...

It was on a rest day, minding my own business taking my hounds to the woods and then crunch.
