So its the first time i have ever managed to go out for a proper ride in the sun. Since i did my cbt in september its been nothing but crap weather.

Here is where i went:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.834823,-3.210411&spn=0.083905,0.154324&t=h&z=13

Actually almost crashed going to turn in the gravely area at the side of the road that you can see in the last photo Embarassed I thought it was concrete, until i was on top of it and realised how fast i was going. The bike started wobbling, but i managed to tame it Cool
Wish i took more photos, but i was a bit shaken up Sad

Can't beat getting out and about with the nice weather were having at the moment.

Looks like you were the one and only one out there.

Glad you had a nice days ride out with hopefully more to come as this settled spell of weather is supposed to last for another week or so.

It was there when i got the bike. I was planning on moving it because i keep kicking it when getting off...

And it was pretty much only me on the road for most of the way

Looks like a nice day and a nice ride.

Now you want to go back and see how much fun that very same route is on a bigger bike when you get your test done. I cant wait to get my bike back to Northern Ireland for a ride around the old roads I used to hammer my 125 around.

Left pillion peg, top bolt? You might have to put a washer on the lower bolt just to lift it out a little.

Also, looked like you had great weather that day, nice pics!
