Cheers for that fella. I don't wear knee sliders because of my combination or didy legs and clunky old hips, I can't get my knee down. The piccy suprised me by how close it was.

Well I reckon your in the realms of scraping a slider there feller , Last time I got my knee down was on a TZR 125 wearing jeans , never forget the jeans just vaguely skimming the corner for a gnats whisker and the burning sensation as the skin on my knee tightened up .... never did it again :D

Dude it may have been his first time up there, and even then once you have done it a few times some people just go up there for a nice relaxing ride...this powerranger crap and abuse of nice bikes is getting as tedious as the IAM bashing

Hmm, the Cat N Fiddle road.. Fantastico. Not so nice when the rain is flying at you sideways. El Saxo and I did it coming from Lincolnshire to Lancashire at the end of September last year. We had intercoms on and kept getting some computers geeks having conversations on the same band then telling us off for using their channel and to change channel's NOW!!!

Cracking road. We also went to Matlock Bath for fish and chips on the way, what a strange 'sea side town' ha haa

Good pics there

If you love the 'cat' .....you need to try the A54 which runs along side it to the south, just as nice but with next to no traffic.

Thats the route i did at the weekend with hockeynut.

If you fancy it give me a shout i will come along.

Me Too!! I'll come!! Please mister!
