    That cracking road at 09:00 is my personal favourite road. In the whole universe! 5 mins from my home. You can see the groove in the surface: my line from riding it HUNDREDS of times. But I’ll not give away the secret, Bruce….😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      @@marktaylor4277 I have a 650 tourer, at the moment it's more finding the spare funds and time to get it done. Had a great time last year doing some multi-day trips in the Peak Distirct, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, but I just miss it a hell of a lot. Good luck on getting your big bike and doing the tests, if you haven't done them already!

    Regarding Ducati wheel nut Bruce, my local bike shop couldn’t get the rear nut off with the standard equipment, they resorted to using a scaffolding pole to use as an extension bar. It was the only way to get the thing off.
    The bike was a year old.

    Brilliant! I did much the same trip last September, and, believe it or not, stayed in the same two hotels 🙄. As for the eatery next to the 1st hotel, I didn't rate it at all🤔. The chips were fine but, the fish was dry under the batter, ah well. Oh yeah the bathroom thing with no shower curtain, I had a bath instead 😃, an easy option.
