Would need to change location of annual meet as Monmouth has not got a Hilton.

Ran out to Ribblehead Viaduct, checked out the Hawes to Gayle road on the way back.

I did 400 miles around essex suffolk and norfolk, did 5 landmarks for the round britain rally. Spent a lot of the time trying to keep up with an H2 SX and two 1290 KTMs, which was fun.

Stopped in the Leadhills, had a flask of coffee and took a few photos...... Set up my DSLR on a tripod beside the bike, appoogies to all that thought it was a police speed trap and sh*t themselves  :wonder:

Yesterday, had a ride around the North York Moors circuit between Stokesley, Helmsley, Pickering & Whitby. Didn't use the popular A & B roads, mainly white minor roads, some of which I hadn't been on before. Was out on the Yamaha XJ650, covered 130 miles. It was a nice feeling not having to pay £96 p.a. road tax as being over 40 years old, it's now free. There was a guy out with us on an RT, I mentioned the forum to him.
