You could head down the A1 to Sherburn and round the twisties round there. There should be loads going out of Leeds to the West mainly

A64 (yeah dull but it's direct, of course you can use a different route) to the Bridlington A166 turn, and follow that to Brid...nice run, will be a PITA getting up Garraby on a 125 ( I know I've done it enough) but nice F&C at Stamford and a day at the seaside Very Happy

Alternatively get yaself to Pool, then follow the Leatherley, Beckwithshaw B road to the top side of Harrogate, then up towards Ripon and then onto Thirsk and Helmsley.

or York Ring Road, B1363/B1257 to Helmsley

Huddersfield-Holmfirth-Holme moss (another hill sorry)-A628 and then either go to Glossop on the B6105 or turn left to Barnsley and up the A61 to Wakefield and drop back into leeds via the white rose

RedCBR125,
how long have ya had ur bike?
do ya find that ppl keep slating you for having a cbr125 lol, everybody seems to hate them

but what do they know
i did the otley run again yesterday but decided to be adventurous and get myself lost, haha went to the other end of ilkley moor, got lost, and nearly ran out of petrol in the middle of nowhere, could have been worse, i could have been on a scooter Razz

No people haven't really slated me for having a CBR125 because they're great bikes, the only people that have said anything are people that ride the Mito and people on bigger bikes e.g. the 600

i've had my bike 2 months and have done over 1500 miles, its a really easy going, the only problem that i have found is i'm getting bored with doing 75mph i need more speed and my legs ache when i get off the bike but it doesn't help being 6'4

the ride out was awesome i ended up going from wakefield to brid then to hull and Grimsby then on to Cleethorpes via the humber bridge (awesome) then back home via Sherburn to see more bikes Smile

So anyone up for a ride on sunday, i think that the best idea is to meet at sherburn and see who is there and where people want to go, there's a good ride to cleethorpes hull and skegness then back to sherburn or we could head ou the other way towards holmfirth.

give us a shout and let me know if u and others are coming.
lets meet at say 12ish at sherburn.
