Welcome to the nuthouse Hapster.
I'm from the North Yorkshire Dales so your in luck and I'm also a Rock God hooligan biker. You cant go wrong really. Here's a goodie though. Go to Barnard castle, Middleton in Teesdale, Alston then over the Hartside pass to Penrith. Ride down Ullswater to the top of the Kirstone pass, Ambleside then Keswick. Blast down the a66 to Kirby Stephen then tan hill pub down the muker then either over the buttertubs pass to Hawes or east to gunnerside then swaledale to Richmond. Awesome but you might want to break that one up.

Us young kids doing wheelies up the high street on RD350 LC's or flat knacker to the country pub I saw bloke on a motorbike doing a wheelie (I suppose that's when you ride on the back wheel only) it was on a very busy main road at Heike´s and I thought `what an absolute twat`

It's like having a wonderful knob like mine and just looking at it in the mirror rather than sharing it with lots of chicks or in Aldo's case big black men.

I haven´t seen you ride yours Trig, only sitting on it all dressed up for the occasion, probably didn't have any fuel in the tank, yours or the bike.

There hasn't been a camera yet invented with a shutter speed fast enough to catch me when I'm riding past... Try this (me on tour in USA)... youtu.be/fShRbF5Vsjo

He should give em to me so I can give em a dammed good thrashing! Done nearly 1500 miles on this trip on our little bike so far in six weeks. That's as far as to Timbuktu and back probably.

Try this (me on tour in USA)... youtu.be/fShRbF5VsjoIt was in 2002, bur not put on YouTube until 2020 ? I reckon you should do the trip again Trig with a modern camera and Maggie on the back, or me . Certainly was a trip to remember, I have only watched the first 5 mins and spotted you, the one with the swishy tail.

Steady on sonny or I'll take a ride up the country on the mighty Strom and show you what us "daft old bikers" can really do without a wheelie or knee down in sight.
