Border Raid

Crossed the border into Keilder Forest and Reservoir-stunning. I should have went to the Dark Sky Observatory in retrospect, maybe next time.

I was close on Thursday at Carter Bar, I was meeting a group of peeps from the Honda Blackbird owners forum for our annual Spring run, this year it was 3 day's long, On Friday I went to Pateley Bridge to meet another member from Peterborough and had a loveley run through the North Yorkshire Dales, And on Saturday Up the west coast To Troon etc, stopping at Dunure harbour, and the "Electric brae" and return home via the Galloway forest  :auto-dirtbike:

You weren't at Carter Bar on the 8th were you. I was admiring your top box from the other side of the road? What is it btw?

By god I had to think hard there! Yes I was there on the 8th and just got the bike brand new the day before, just put it in for the first service today at 1056 miles (had a big weekend just gone) the top box is a "Givi trekker outback" it's a heavy piece of kit and once you start polishing it it's a regular thing, the Black one is low maintenance option!

Cool I mean, although it was actually quite warm for the borders that day if I remember.
