good on yer for being able to have a good time without riding like a villain. Paid good dividends when those Scottish lasses wandered out into the road!
i first rode this road between penrithand hexam last summer and thought it was the best road i've ever ridden
i sent it to superbike mag and they printed it! i won a t-shirt which i was happy with but now they give a £500 sat nav for the riders route feature :( should have saved it!
need a video from a sunny day covering the whole length of this road
i was on my sv650s and spent basically 3 days on the road (and surrounding roads)
LOl... not sure if I'd trade.. yay to ubundant breasticles, but nay to the smell of donkey pish and poop :o) Those Thompsons are robbin bastards too :o) roll on summer aye.
OEM Honda downpipes and collector into quite rare :) stainless high-level linkpipe and finally out through an ART alloy oval end can. I have photo's but Youtube wont let me add the links! grrrrr!
I used to think that sheep were stupid. I know think they are not. I think they look stupid because they are actually doing high level math working out the exact timing to cross the road which is most likely to cause the approaching rider to soil his leathers.
nice going m8 looks like the roads down my way here in west wales.llandovery run and sugarloaf .got an vfr750 fl 1990 myself love riding it good vid m8
Im yet another with a vfr! Was up that way last month on a rideout with a few from the honda vfr club, had rivers crossing the roads (was raining)! O-0
Hi Moodster heh heh yeah it gets that way up here! stabalizer wheels for the dry, armbands for the wet, and outrigger ski's for when it snows! lol! :)
Hi Applecart2000, my hometown ride out is Rivi Barn which is about 14 miles from home and all around there is some decent rides, when the weather is good Rivi gets really busy with bikers have you been?
Hi blackpudscoffer, yes a few times when the weathers nice enough. I prefer hartside though coz it's closer. :o)
There's a great road from Alston to Middleton-in-Teesdale, plus the one from Alston to Brampton/Carlisle is quite good! ( i.e. fairly quiet, nice smooth road etc )
You dont need to be fast to enjoy yourself Im not a fast rider either I am IAM trained and the key is smooth progress Love the VFR I have an RC36 Nice one m8
Hi macpdm, I'm trying to get smoother, I still make those 'fixation' error's though! must look ahead.. LOOK AHEAD... dont look at that curb! lol! I'll drum it into myself eventually! :o)
cheers blackpudscoffer! yes i know... mist/clouds due to time of day ( early morning ) and hence my careful progress... road was pretty cold. I'll do a faster and neater one when the weather picks up. :o)
Awesome vid bro! Love the sound of the VFR! I got one myself! Also a 750 from 1990! Wich year is yours?
