After giving her a good wash and a coat of ACF, went out for a 300+ mile trip to do a lap of the "Rutland TT"

First jolly of 2019  :grin:

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

That's given me an idea, anyone else fancy a Rutland TT rideout when the weather picks up?

Ooooo! yes I've been dreaming of a firm body with strong legs. I do love a well built viaduct.

Took my first bimble of the new year around the Yorkshire Dales and other nearby places, about half way round came across a road (well I think there was a road under the mud) covered in Yorkshire's finest mud/slurry/and other substances that nearly had me picking my Vstrom up from the road side. Be warned if you go out it's Mud..er out there. :thumb:

Re Rutland TT. Know many of those roads from the rideouts we do from here in sunny Norfolk. Mostly excellent but noticed last year the last 12 or so miles of the B676 into Melton has been awarded a blanket 50mph limit to join that part of the B6047 South of the A47 that won one a few years ago!
Will try to make the rideout if the date works out OK.

I’m glad my trip to Rutland has inspired others  :)

I’ll be up for doing it again  :thumb:

Maybe this time my feet won’t feel like blocks of ice afterwards!!

Did anyone else hear "you f*cking, f*cking, f*cker" quickly followed by "f*cking, f*cking farmers"

Must have been me then.

I'd say well saved but I think you were steering with your puckered arse cheeks.

Just as I would. :)
