We met at Russ's house at 9am and set off by 9:15 after a sorting a minor hiccup which was having to bump start Russ's bike as he'd left his lights on whilst we were chatting, DOH (shouldn't really have happened at all seeing as the bike lives in a battery tender in his garage. Maybe time for a new battery Rus...

I know some of the lanes out around Tipton/Venn Ottery are quite wid...

Daft idea I know, but has anyone ridden Land's End to John O'Groats using green lanes as much as possible whilst still trying to keep a relatively straight line there.
Buy a bike they said, it will be fun they said. I did, it was, the end. Bit more to it tho'. Did You Ever own a bike you both loved and hated? I had a motorbike that took me everywhere, didn't need another one. Then the guy who sold me my first bike the venerable Honda C90 dropped by to complain nobo...

My GasGas Pampera is on the bench for an engine refresh, any recommended engineers (S Devon) who can check the cylinder for tolerance/ovality. I know Langcourts, if there isn't a local option. Cheers Chris
Well, what a cracking day that was. I know I always say that about being out on the bikes but today was something a little different as in our destination and the route most definitely did not disappoint, hence making it a great day. Russ and I reckoned it was something like 10years ago we last did this rou...
