Up on Exmoor yesterday
« on: September 27, 2018, 07:44:33 »
Photos from Selworthy and Dunkery yesterday in amazing weather. Rough car park closest I’ve come to off-road in the month I’ve had the bike...and probably about as much as I will do if I’m honest!

Very nice! Days like that are life affirming. Good weather, little traffic and a splendid view. Just cake and coffee needed to top it off!
Old enough to know better, but still too young to care...

...and later a few beers and fish and chips as we did! The sort of thing that keeps you going on those long shifts at work.

Wow.

You lucky bleeder, I had to make do with Worksop and the new Doncaster Iport...
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Thanks all. Cracking roads  + weather over last few days = much fun!
Having come back to biking after long break have been fortunate to get some great weather on my days off over the past month since I got the bike. Great opportunity to get used to the feel of the bike and brush up my skills. Just clocked up my first 1k miles which is few more than I anticipated doing! Here’s the bike down in Ilfracombe earlier today.
