Where did you ride your RD/LC today?

[Chewie01]

Given all the posts saying where you went in the ‘What did you do to your RD/LC today’ tread I thought I would start a similar thread to post where you went today.

Tell us What you rode, where you went, who you met.

Post some pictures of your bike with an epic background, or just stopped by the side of the road drinking tea at a chuck wagon.

Today I met up with Beardy and the rest of the group for a ride down to Hastings, via the back roads. We had a great group of I think 19 bikes, and only a couple of them were diesels.
Thanks again Beardy for your navigation services.

Lovely pics and the map is great!

If anyone want's to get their rides logged in a map then it's a feature in Google Maps. To get the information you will need Google Maps on your phone, be logged in to a Google account and have location data enabled at all times.
At the end of your ride, you can go to Google Maps on a PC and select Your Timeline from the options menu and then select the date. I then grabbed a screen capture of the relevant part of the screen, pasted it in to Paint, coved over my home address, which is kind of annoying it displays it and saved it as a jpg. The data is also displayed in the phone app, but it's not as detailed.

Today I met up with Elsiefan on his LC and Rick on his TZR at Box Hill and went round in circles turning the air blue on some sketchy back roads.

[peddrotzr]

I didnt ride it,
but I lent my LC250 to a mate & his wife, over here from South Golden Australia who came over for the TT races

They have deffo got the "TT-Bug" and already planning to return in 2025!
but have warned them that the weather isnt always this good.

30th May we took a ride out to Rivington and then here on way home




1st June at IOM ferry terminal with iconic The Royal Liver Building in back ground



Not many photos of LC as I ended up working there in the pits, just for a change.
sorry no map available as i am rubbish at this kind of thing !

Best regards

Was out and about on my just run in 350 LC in sunny Wexford today . Beautiful twisty and mostly smoothly resurfaced back roads , bike feels lovely , many thanks to Pedrotzr and DoohanNo1 , needles to say . Just starting to stretch her out a bit in 3rd and 4th and it's very quick , loads of midrange power and really nice to ride . It was magic !!

east to pickering and then north to whitby,
Finally west back to Boro.

BORING!

Went out for the day with the local RD group for breakfast, ice cream and tea.
Covered about 175 miles and I can say the seats on RD's were not the most comfortable for that kind of distance.

We had 4 PVs, 2 RD400s, a 350LC and an RG500.

There may have also been a bit of hooligan activities along the way

Went to the cafe by the river in Evesham. 2 other LCs came for the ride.

[peddrotzr]

Been a bit busy last few months so havent been out on her since returning from aTT in June

Just returned from Manx GP, and as its been fabulous weather this weekend it would be rude not to take the old girl out for a quick spin

Saturday


Same weather today so why not


I forgotjust how much fun this bike is.
I need to get out a few more times before winter.

Best regards

Went over to the Wray classic bike night tonight near Lancaster on my 250. Kept it between 6&7k RPM pretty much all the way (100 miles) and it never missed a beat. Called at Settle chippy on the way back for haddock and chips with curry sauce and a can of full fat coke. Dark all the way home through the back lanes, Lc headlight is better than the twin lights on my fazer 600!
Great night, loved it

[peddrotzr]

As weather was still great I managed another ride out yesterday, with a mate "Skilly" on his Pepsi RGV250

Very sorry but I cant do the GPS thingy map

We went through north Wales to Ruthin, Bala, then onto Portmadog, Absersoch then back to Llanbedrog for "Chips" (Its the Law!)
Then onto Plas yn "Rhiw" National Trust Gardens to pay respects to Mum & Dad

Then retun home through a bit of light rain (with dust/sand)

260 mile trip she needs a good wash now!

We will have to do it again before winter as was great fun even though the LC was a bit slow compaired to Suzuki,

"Pebbles" LC needs a refresh during the winter


Bala


Llanbedrog



Plas yn Rhiw photo taken in May "better weather then"


Hope this doesnt bore you.

Saturday…

MES are the new Yamaha dealer in north Wales and it was their open day.

So, thought I would take the LC for a run out along the coast.

Got there nice and early…. Too early! Hardly anyone there, but they did have a good warm welcome.
