Sounds like we may be having a fab invasion of Whitby. We like the fish shop over the bridge on your left just before The Endeavour Pub. Can't remember the name of it

Had a few rides out (essential journeys). Today was my 1st group organised ride out. It was a funeral escort for a 3 year old who died of leukaemia. The streets of Carlisle were lined with people paying their respect to this wee man. Goodnight and God bless little Stan

Matlock was buzzing during the first lockdown when everyone was supposed to be staying at home. Didn't shine a good light on the biker fraternity

Once lockdown is over I'm seriously thinking about booking a few days off work. Whacking a tent on the tail and buggering off to Scotland.

The MOT extension was really handy for me, meant I could align it to the service. Given the shop is a 30m dull motorway journey I'm so glad I don't have to do it twice.

So for the past few weekends I have just been getting used to the bike doing a nice 70 mile loop. No stopping apart from fuel.

Exactly this. I’ve been riding all the way through the Pandemic as a key worker. The roads have been quieter.
