is it safe to head north? - SV650.org

timwilky · 03-06-11, 02:23 PM

Piles of **** in the middle of bends

slow moving obstructions in the middle of the road

Beer bottle thrown on overtake obstructions

Bike pinched whilst having lunch in a pub/cafe

When will it be safe to ride up north again?

You had your bike nicked mate? where from?

Well I can't say its safe from **** on bends, slow moving obstructions or low flying beer bottles, but I would think(and hope) it was free from bike pinchers.

Not free from pinchers if your near appleby for the next week

oh yeah, on the recce it was absolutely heaving with old type horsedrawn gypo vans, on their way up there.

Mind you, some of the old boys holding the reigns tipped a hat to thank you for keeping the revs down as not to scare their nags
