September 5, 20159 yr If I shut my eyes it reminds me of the time I was attacked by a swarm of wasps for smashing their bike....

September 6, 20159 yr Haaa " drewps that vid is sick ,,[ who"s voise-over ? ] great weekend,,,, 360 mls on DT, did peak district Friday,,,Awesome, Found Compos jacket in Holmfirth , so wore it On Sat,,, Long shot I know, but I don't suppose any of you guys who are coming along today happen to have a c spanner I could borrow? My rear end is a little sloppy and could do with tightening it up a bit. Kev had a Tool to sort that andrw "
September 6, 20159 yr is there a prize?only prize is a surprize! 63mph (or 72 downhill on the speedo)my speedo is less than 2% out :)
September 6, 20159 yr Moderator Well I was glad to spend 10 mins in a hot, repeat HOT shower when I got back, 600 miles in less than 3 days. The peak district was cold but damn it was good to ride round, some of those hills, not to mention the cyclists riding them.Bike was great, just a leaky fuel tap denting its 100% scorecard. Goes like fk now too. The rebuild has made it sublime. Got some anorak numbers too.599miles travelled.fuelled 8 times, (10L tank)8.24L £1.15/L Tesco Northampton7.1 L £1.19/L Shell Notts7.56L £1.16/L Co-Op Holemfirth (After 90miles) 54mpg3.07L £1.19/L Shell Selby (pre ride out top up)8.59L £1.16/L Sainsburys Scarborough5.06L £1.20/L Bp South Milford (?)5.80L £1.14/L Market Raisen (After 74miles) 58mpg Not premium unleaded.8.14L £1.25/L Shell Peterborough (After 100miles) 56mpg£63.69 spent averaging around , and I still cant believe this, 55mpg. Oddly riding with Elvis or Paul made little difference. That means a theoretical 120 miles from a tank riding briskly. Also means riding slow makes cock all difference. Used a little over a litre of 2 stroke too.Epic, lots of riding The peaks on Friday, then Seaways and on to Scarb for chip supper (dodging the squires cuisine) and on Sunday Paul (finnerez89) and I came back via Skeggy for an ice cream on the beach lol.Fkin A, Your all stars. Would do it again in a heartbeat (with a better sleeping bag).Feeling any better Elvis?
September 6, 20159 yr Author Moderator some numbers there Jason. I'd rather not know what I have spent over the last week or so on fuel etc

September 7, 20159 yr Author Moderator epic picture the last one, reminds me of Auweidesen Pet somehow
September 7, 20159 yr Loved it thanks lads one that won't be forgotten.great ride out to Scarborough that I was reluctant to do as I thought the rd wouldn't cope. I'm glad we went though. I couldnt have wish for a better bunch of guys I would have liked to be with (other than that guy off last of the summer wine ) ah ah I'm sure I saw him. A couple of pic is to come once I get them onto my lappy as the forum won't let me upload them from my phone.
