Title: Sunday 17 March - Mixed Bunch!
Post by: Winston Smith on March 28, 2011, 09:28:39 PM
As the title says!

Had a lovely run at a nice steady pace that lasted all day!

A late-ish start (due to commitments) at 1100hrs from one of the lads places.

"...and on a Kawasaki you go really fast when you use your right hand - not like a GS......" my lad gives Marshy, one of our RoSPA group some instruction and guidance

Yepp - Cup of Tea!!

Goodbyes at Pickering, before the Pan's battery dies due to leaving ignition on and switching off with kill switch!
Bumped off, got it started then forgets to put side stand up - cuts out and needs another bump....aaaaaaggghh!!   ;D

Rode back down A63 off at Scaggletorpe, up to North Grimston and back down B1248 through Wetwang - no more tea (Margarets Log Cabin at Fimber was closed!)

Great day, about 150 miles, half a gallon of tea, and sun burn in a visor shape!

You certainly like that Seaways, I'll have to look out for you there the next time I'm passing on one of my many trips to Brid.
Nice to see a few ride out pics as well.

I like your number plate. Must be great to go out as a group. Think we need to organise a Yorkshire rideout

My car reg is similar too!  Well if you can't take the p*** out of yourself, who can you take it out of!!

There's enough nice roads in Yorkshire to enjoy, pick a date and see what we can do?!
