You certainly can't judge a biker by his ride.

It's amazing how things play out when i set out yesterday for a unplanned ride out I called on a mate who joined me we decided to ride over the mountain road to visit a lidl shop that was selling a bike alarm lock (which turned out as cheap quality as it's price) on leaving a guy with a wee Honda 50 started talking to me I was thinking he was just someone who aspired to get a bigger motorcycle, "wrong" turned out he has multi bikes, he mentioned he might have a KTR 600 Kawasaki for sale, great I've been thinking on a cheap enduro for a winter bad weather bike, when we got to his garage he had a Indian Chief he was rebuilding and a great looking BMW R1200C great looking bike, he also had a few vintage cars, so the moral of the story,
"Don't judge a biker by bike he is riding" (going back in couple of weeks to maybe buy the KTR)

New year new roads

Well Xmas has been a blur snowed in a couple of weeks but managed a few
good ride outs.

Some roads have acquired deep pot holes after the ice and snow.

One bad incident got home after a ride out stopped by the hose to get all the sand and salt off the bike, but put my foot down on the hose, it rolled and had to lay the bike down, no real damage clutch lever now has a wee dog leg shape but lifting the bike on my own, jeez she us one heavy bitch.
