A chilly ride to Alston with some Ducatis.

The sausage from there is lovely.

Has the resurfacing up to Hartside finished yet?

[Jazoli]

Is that at The Nook?

I went out for a hour but its too cold for me now

[MrsMiggins]

That was actually last Friday. I heard that the road up to Hartside was still a mess.

Jazoli you are correct, it is The Nook.

Fancy popping in there next time we're passing, didn't realise there was a roman fort up the hill so there's a good excuse for a stop. Weather was smashing last Friday, had a lovely run up Teesdale.

Gorgeous cool and sunny day yesterday, although it was rather breezy.

Yeah it was a lovely thing... going to be back on the road soon apparently... aren't they all.... lol

Beautiful day on Sunday with not a breath of wind; took the tribe out in turns and ended on the ‘47 by the evening. Was getting chilly though.

I'm not sure TBH...

He just saw my bike (a Kawasaki) and said, oh he has one too and pulled the sheet off that..

Then suddenly didn't want to talk about it... maybe scared I was going to steal it... or take a photo and put it on the net..

[podman]

Out and about with my Dad earlier, on the mighty G310R...great day for a ride..Hopefully will get out tomorrow and I think that could be it for 2020..

[srob]

Anyone lost some panniers?

[Scobblelotcher]

Saw one of these at Bharnstromer whilst my bike was in for a service, beautifully made and very imposing!

Thought it might have been the Indian Chiefs saddlebags..

Wrong colour.

And no fringes or studs

...although I have brown bags on the newer blue Chief. But who the hell loses saddlebags without noticing...jeez

It was only Janluke's eagle-eyes on another forum and bike recognition skills and kind phone call that got me one of my [brown] bags back after I went for a ride and forgot to clip it on properly and it parted company en route without me noticing. Bag found, posted on line and me made aware and contacted the finder within the hour - and returned (yup, the bloke brought it back to me) next day. The wonder of internet forums/groups.

No, but I'm trying to work out which of the five words in the poster's name are grouped together.

Put the ol gals to bed for the winter , just waiting for a pair of optimate’s to arrive. Being a fully paid member of the sunshine riders club, I can’t see me getting out again without it being cold/wet/damp/salt/grey/cloudy/windy etc etc

Absolutely love the gsxr mate!

[WarnieV6GT]

I think this tonight might be the last one this year. I'm not using my Supercorsa Sp's throughout the winter as I did last year as I was like bambi on ice

Bike is due a service as well so that's over £400 with winter tyres I'll need to stump up.

If honda do a good pcp deal on a crf250 then I'd definitely be tempted, but other than that, this will be my 1st winter without riding.
