A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)

[cbmotorsport]

My old CBR6 was the same, I drifted in and out of biking for a few years, but always kept it and it needed next to nothing doing whenever I got the urge to ride it, even after a 2 year lay up.

Can confirm, whistled straight through the MOT. Tester said it was "too clean"!

Service and Mot done today ready for a trip to the manx/classic tt
Had it 25 years now

One from snetterton 2 weeks ago. I’ve just started a renovation project on a property I’ve just bought so track time will be limited for the rest of the year unfortunately. It’s annoying as my riding has come on leaps and bounds this year going from middle group to the fast end of fast group and I’d like that to continue. Still hopefully get another couple in this year though!

Stopped in earlier, lots of cool stuff to look at. Proper old fashioned bloke shed. It's a great alternative hangout on Poole Quay bike night.

They should offer that with spoked wheels too.

Went out for a bimble around Oliver's Mount while up in Yorkshire for a family holiday......

No bike - but I think 4up+luggage would be a stretch too far!!

[Krikkit]

Sounds like some good trips out, keep it up guys


Rain free day at last, got out this evening for a bit of a run.



Somewhere near Ruthin

I’m only about 15 miles away but only been up there once, they didn’t take card and I had no cash so swiftly left. It’s kinda cool in a very hipster way though

Yeah cash only. Best bit is it's not really practical for cars to park there so you tend to only get riders.

Giving the new steed a run to welsh wales to get used to it

We are staying near Rhayader.
Had a run over to Aberystwyth via the dams and Devil’s Bridge today, not the best weather mind.

Have an off road day booked tomorrow

That just sounds wrong .......
Just the two now, rd 350lc hybrid, 1980 some of it, GSXR600 front, tzr125 rear, RGV wheels, Gibson pipes (allspeed copies)
CCM404, with stroked crank, over bore, now 463cc, lumpy cams, twin underslung yoshi pipes, really need to get this back running, kind of lost interest in it.
