How much are those tomtom's, I wouldn't mind one of them,am usually good with directions but today was a little tough as rivington is a bit out of the way.

I got mine for 220 GBP, from ebuyer. You need to wait get them for that price. Ebuyer tend to get small batches in every few months and are way cheaper than everyone else.

No room to filter? Bummer! That's half the fun of having a bike. Well, OK, 25%.
Keep an eye out for a yellow 900 there one day, just looked at Rivington on Google Earth, nice looking roads thereabouts.

I go to Rivington.. very good place to go.. your right, its a strain to get there on a good day. Try getting there before 5 in the morn, you only have to wait up 2 hrs to get in. My cousin, who I go with, he has a Harley Heritage (sad git).. you cant miss him he stands next to it with his Harley cigar, Harley sunglasses, Harley jacket... Harley crap all over...but dont tell him I said that.
Have you seen the fellow in the corner who sells all the badges and stuff ?... lives on a canal boat.. my cousin likes to talk to him a lot.
I sit on the the other side of the cafe wit the old pensioners club.. more interesting chat.
Southport is a good run out for us as well...

Well, everyone knows that the speed of light is 299,792,456 meters per second. and thats all very fine and dandy, and it explaines a lot in our universe ......or is maybe it opens up more questions than answers, and the most important of those is....what is the speed of dark?

Nay.. i`d love to say it was me but for the first instance da wife saw a fine opportunity to get a load of homely jobs done.. damn sunny days.. second, although mine is silver, it`s a superb 850 2001 TDM.
Maghull is near Liverpool I believe but i cant recall going there.. unless friends tell me other wise. What am I missing??
My cousin is in that Hollyoaks thing and i`ve promised to go visit her new digs in Liverpool.. How far is Scotchpiper from there??
In fact now I get to recall last years trips, the last one on a very sunny day to St.Anne's, I had a fair few outings to that side of good old blighty...

right, i`ve put that in the must do`s box for this year. Got two biker clubs here that are not adventurous enough.. "well we always go there third week in BLAH BLAH BLAH..".
Managed to get da wife to jump on the back of da bike a couple of years back and although she did it for me initially she ended up enjoying the days out and she now plans places to go. Her longest trip was to my sisters in Livingstone.. bonny Scotland.
We planned a trip to Mercia in Spain this year but projects at work dont allow me to plan anything that accurate so small trips around this great Isle of ours will suffice. She will never take up the reigns herself like you but it`ll do me.
i`ll look out for your bike when the weather breaks and the days get longer still and sunnier...
Ps... sorry for spellings and such.. rush job

well all we can ask for is that she does take the bug and the initiative and take over th reigns one day, once bitten forever smitten, I hope she does cos theres nothing like having your partner/wife/husband/other, riding along side you.
and if you do see me you will probably see my fella, soon to be husbad on his vtr 1000 riding along side me...yeah...lol, dont worry about the spelling hon ,i dont

Devils Bridge is my favorite ike on a sunday morn.. 40 mins away .. the police hold their fort just over last the last ridge but only get the idiots coming in wit no sense at all.. By the way , as fish shops go and places to hold out for an hour the fish shop across from the carpark in Settle is a must.. i know a lot about fish shops as my wife will tell you , although she is agast to know how i know so much about such places I very rarely visit (he! He!) .. I think there should be a separate forum for fishshop stops across this great land of ours. Remember we are loosing a lot of our identity and its up to the valiant to up-hold such long established traditions..

Have you been to the cafe in new brighton, Its a bit tacky but i like it there, the food aint all that bad either.We were told about the Devils bridge but as we were new to bikes and were learning how to handle a 125 properly...lol, god i can remember how terrified i was when i first got on the bike on the road, oh i thought i was it...lol
this pissy little chitsuma 125, the clutch was shit too, it was like riding a death trap, and then when i passed my test i went straight on to my tdm 900, god the difference, it was a shock to my sestem but god, what a rush...lol
