Candy blue LC, Allspeeds and a really nice N1, retro JL pipes, clear clutch window etc. In Rye Strand car park earlier today. Lovely bikes fellas, would have been on my LC but I wasn't going to tax it and lose a month for the sake of 1 day! Sorry I didn't get a pic.

Not me but soon. Wouldn’t let mine out of my sight, like people walking backwards into your bike to get a better look at a Harley.

Where are you mate? I am in Hastings Between Canterbury and Ashford, main reason I stop at Rye is if wife wants a toilet break. Lot of good roads out that way. |

Yep, we sampled some of them this morning! A21 up to Flimwell, turn right onto A268 down through Hawkhurst, Sandhurst and pick up the A28 to Tenterden. Turn right, down B2080 to Appledore then Military Road into Rye. Hoping to be out on the LC next weekend so should be in Rye sometime around 11/12pm

Hoping to be out on the LC next weekend so should be in Rye sometime around 11/12pm Some of the first roads you mention haven’t done for years. The A28 back to Tenterden is interesting just before Rolvenden, is like an S bend with a big dip in the middle, bit of a botty clencher if you go into it a bit quick, rewarding at the right speed. Got a bit more running in to do on my lc but hope to do that in the week. First miles on one in 35 years, finding hands ache a bit, going to change grips and have got an ASV clutch lever on its way that should help with lever span. |

Ive had aching hands on my rg Lately i was putting it down to the two extra carbs but believe it or not it was my new gloves they are too tight ,had my old gloves on yesterday and no problems.
I was going out again today but was warned by a mate that the cops were out in force stopping all the bikers and if you weren’t local you were done they were also doing for number plates and exhausts

I was going out again today but was warned by a mate that the cops were out in force stopping all the bikers and if you weren’t local you were done they were also doing for number plates and exhausts Until I get different grips and lever am going to try some more padded gloves, not had this trouble since zx9r, pity as they are cracking bikes. I had a show plate for the bike that I got quickly, bike shop took forever for the correct one. Decided not to chance riding on the show plate. From what I’ve seen, roads are quieter but a lot of bikes are out and in big groups, which is ok if you’re keeping distances at stops. Out on bike Friday running in, I did 3 hours backwards and forwards on the same bit of road and saw one police car, can’t think that I’d seen one in all of lockdown. |
