Peter, do you mean highlights on Sunday...
The Qatar race is on Saturday.

Hawes on Market Day nowhere for bikes to park) not that there were many out today :P



The Penny Garth Cafe (unfortunately closed today)



Journeys End (de-salted) and DE- BOXED :P



And you worry about the build quality of Suzuki's hows about this for a 5k miles bike on a 54 plate this was just 3 weeks with salt on the roads and she is cleaned regularly



Annoying thing is , it's only the cylinder head the rocker boxes are fine , as are the barells

so stop your whining about suzuki build quality :P

Such a pity about the topbox and the rusty chain though .

yeah i was quite surprised to see the plates on the chain in that state. fortunately its just the outside of the plates and i can clean that up easily salts a bitch, and that chain is regularily sprayed with either wurth dry chain lube or profi dry lube.

the roads you see are the easy ones to photograph the rest of the route is just as amazing . consisting of some really choice quality surfaced a roads and tight and chalenging B roads. believe me when i say this is an awesome route these guys are gonna travel.

topbox is a necessity to cary 3k's woth of camera gear that weights close to 12 kilo's . dont fancy the thought of all that glass and metal attached to my back should anything untoward happen

Certainly. My heart's in the North, always has been for some reason.

Basket...I am talking about the Moto GP that is on the weekend of the Norf/Sarf rideout/barby/debauched group strip. This all coincides with the Catalunya race.

I know Qatar is this weekend matey.


Marko...I hope you found plenty of good downhill runs so that I can build up a good head of steam on the C90 that Sir Boccington is kindly lending me?

Excellent pics, looks like you had the best of the weather
