Rd250lc!!! Had an amazing day out yesterday  Started off on the cat and fiddle then Headed off into the Peak District on board footage on my 250lc. Then some of dad on his Gsxr following my Elsie, Monyash for food and to check out all the other classics then Matlock then back to Monyash An a cool stop in a place called Little Longstone where I talked about the trip about 250 miles or so of tiny country roads super fun! Never put the camera on dad's Gsxr 750 before, sorry for the wind noise it's cool to see though how the LC really pulls through the bends from behind she's super at home on those tight twisties, plenty of go on the straights as well though. No music on this one the Elsie in the band is music enough Hope you all enjoy still getting used to making videos on my ol' 2009 computer haha. Gonna miss my Elsie when she's gone owned her for so long now. Itching to get started on my other one though that I've had since I was 16 I'm 30 now out again on Friday with my dad's bro on his Kettle! |

We used to drive the C&F when it was nat speed limit and there was no Helicopters (or when there was mist and they couldnt fly), it was more fun than the current speed limited and oh-so-safe road it is now. happy days. For about 5 years I spent half my life in Matlock Bath when working up that way and only once managed to get up there on a bike (R6) and had a ball. Luckily I had cars that were fun to drive the rest of the time. I did outbrake myself on one corner and ended up running off into a farmers field that day, oops! not my bike either...  Years back the chippy place on the right as you rode into MB down the hill was partly a small bike accessories place, the day it opened they had Niall Mackenzie as their guest of honour. Sadly the shop didnt last long, maybe 2yrs max. Back then parking was free too... seems a long time ago now. I was back there last year, the balti house is still good |

Yeah I experienced it with no cameras to back when I was using my RS125 and a GSX-R 600 k9 I had tbh I don't mind the cameras, keeps the mad riding away people on wrong side of double white line bends etc head on at ya haha an nutters in some cars. Some of those decreasing radius bends near Matlock can catch you out that's for sure! Wow never knew that about the Chippy! Always end up going in there. Yeah it's mad how much time moves on. First time I'd been to Matlock for ages. Was fun to go on the elsie before I sell her redundancy is a bitch but at least I've still got other bikes to mess with |

Ended up out again for a couple of runs today was probably the last ride before I get her advertised really gonna miss this one dad actually had a go an was so shocked at how quick it was so that's a good sign considering the last one he rode was his 350lc back in the 80's gutter but such is life had a run out to Monyash an actually ended up on a bit of gravel haha which was interesting to say the least for me an my uncle who was on a GT750 Kettle the Elsie did it admirably Anyone local be aware they are redoing the monyash road with that horrible chipping stuff again gutter!! Did a few other back roads on the way home Elsie ran like a dream as per usual. Just glad I've got another one in bits that I've had since I was 22 so at least I wont be elsie less although it'l take a while to get it on the road funds wise. Hope you all enjoy the vid an my lil joke about bmw's an gravel haha (ex bmw gsa owner) Working on getting the upload quality better bit by bit |
