Some great footage made even better by the blue skies! Makes me want to go for a decent run on mine although I will admit to being menaced by clouds… :o

Just wondering why as you are surrounded by technology including Sena SRL Mesh you have to turn around @50 seconds in to talk to your pillion?  ;)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Ive been itching all week to get out again but the weathers been awful. Where are you based? we should met up sometime!

That was my wifes 1st time on the bike after her accident and she doesn't have any comms yet. We just bought a cheap lid for her  to see how she felt on the bike before splashing out on something decent plus coms..

The old adage about falling off a horse and getting right back on doesn't take account of breaking significant bits of your body and having to look after the horse until you are well enough to try.

Great courage on the part of your lady.

Only very rarely - twice, maybe thrice on a bike.
But I will be going to up in a car in a couple of weeks, to Bassenthwaite Station Cafe.

Afternoon Tea for two (sweet and savoury):

The fun bit is that you don't need to pick what you want off the menu because you get it all!
Times two.

And a takeaway box for the stuff you can't quite finish.

It's illegal to visit more than once a quarter otherwise your sat fats are going to rocket beyond heart attack levels. But what a way to die.

Haha,, yes that will help! speaking of which, i was out for a run in North wales yesterday and Id forgotten to change it back from 2up/comfy from the last time the mrs was on the back. Bike was awful through the twisties. What a difference it makes! Just wish the dampener was working also. Has motivated me to get it booked in and looked at asap!

Heres another video if anyones interested. Its of Honister Pass up in the Lakes and was an absolutley stunning ride. One part of it is super steep though. Reminded me of a time when I was in Thailand on a moped in the mountains and the brakes faded to nothing coming back down!

https://youtu.be/KcIXQV5SoVE

Let us know what you think, and any suggestions of roads you think would make for similarly interesting video please let me know!!!

Have a great week!

Love the subject, the quality and the music.
But the upside down bits are too druggy for me!  :o

What are the little connector bits in the yoke holes - for clipping on a phone/other?
