Blast out North bound

Cracking ride out yesterday, from sunny Manchester (honest) straight to junction 35 M6, 8 lakes and 4 passes, Honister / Hard Knott / Kirkstone, about 170 miles all in. First decent ride with the new bar ends. I can say wihout doubt its made a MASSIVE difference to the vibes..massive, non existant through the grips. I did notice when I put my finger tip out to the hand guard it vibrated very strongly !
Today... Rain

Nice Rich, hope the weather holds out for you, always fancied doing the A82 but the rain man, jee wiz, puts me off big style, need to man up and be prep'd to get wet I guess. I'm a few miles off junction 23 M6 if anything goes tits up and I could help with, feel free to contact me
I'm just trying to upload a short video of our ride to utube, taking ages

Thanks mate.
We haven't planned anything yet, and looking at the long term weather, I'm tempted to head back over to France again!

We did around 1200 miles down to and around the Morvan region at the weekend. Fantastic roads, scenery, food and company. Perfect for a long weekend away.
France is fantastic on the bike, if you avoid the big roads.
