Hi one and all well i must tell you this today i,ve been out on the diesel rigid to Squires cafe bar where i had the obligatory cup of coffee and a pasty very nice it was too,except for riding by huge snow drifts where the temperature dropped significantly ,on a sad note the great actor Richard Griffiths died today good old uncle monty from the cult english film With nail & i ,atb paul.

Good on ya Grunda for turning out!!
I did a quick circuit yesterday from Durham to Chester-le-Street and Newcastle and back home again. Got home frozen to the bones...but with the usual grin from ear-to-ear. Keep the faith!

Come on you Southern comrades, how was your day???

juan you mexican fool !!why play out on the hills ?i encountered large enough ploughed drifts in south west & north yorkshire you could say i did 3 counties on the db406 felix!!!

Speaking up for the soft southerners here - I went out on my 350 - just 10 miles to warm up the fluids as I changed the fork and clutch oils on my return. Only saw one other bike and it was a big shiny harley with an old grey beard on board. He looked very happy and gave me a wave which in turn made me smile - nice to see someone else out enjoying themselves on a bloody cold day.
