Looks about right. Some lovely roads, done most of them a few times. Plenty of rice rocket ninja nutters around the Seaways café at Fridaythorpe to keep you sharp.

Sent by email. Thanks.

As things stand, I know I'm going to struggle with a full day event, especially in this heat. Rather than cancelling at the last minute, I'm wondering if someone else will take this ride on as it will be a good un. Sorry to bale but health and safety come first. The situation may improve as the seas...

I highly recomend the B1248 :thumb: Yes, know that road, it's a good un. Scrap that! I won't be able to make it! Just been told that I'm at my niece's 18th birthday party the night before! I don't think I will be in a fit state to ride Fair enough. Maybe next time. Hopefully later on, looking at th...

Some good roads there too although sledmere to Garton I would give that a miss as its just a straight bumpy road

Thanks for that, can't beat local knowledge. Can see a couple of work arounds. Be good to meet if you can make it.

^ Do you generate route files on a computer and then dump them into the phone? I understood that the BMW nav app uses the Tomtom algorithm to convert the gpx file into a route file. Just thinking out loud but a gpx file can be interpreted differently by garmin and tomtom as they use different algori...

Back in my RT days we used to strap a self contained GPS device to the bike and away we went. I realise that things have moved on now. Does the all singing and dancing TFT unit act like a Carplay system (among other things) and mimic the BMW Connected App programme on your phone? If so, how do you l...

Good to see you younglings following the army theme as military discipline will apply for the entirety of the event. Do you boys good.

Be good to catch up again

Prefer Admiral Hornblower but I suppose the Northern Monkeys do a fair rendition of the chaos that is Dad's Army. So that's the Captain and Private Pike so far.............

https://i.postimg.cc/XXSLRGvp/Screenshot-2023-06-06-120717.png Starting at the Motorist Hub just outside Sherburn in Elmet and finishing at Morrison's Selby. 95 miles, ~3 hrs riding time, excellent start point, 2 good stops with an extra fag break if required. (Credit to David. for the pit stops) G...

Right chaps I have found it difficult planning a decent Peak District ride starting and finishing at the NCMM. There are much better alternatives if anyone is keen to do a Peak District ride, so I'll save that for a later date and suggest an alternative event which will not prove disappointing. See ...

Enjoyed meeting up and our chat today. Nice to meet your mates from home and to see that your RT still looks mint. I have sent a pm regarding my surgical appliance which seemed to interest one of your buddies. Such things are best kept private, in order that unintended offence to the feint of heart ...

See you at the NMM for 1300.

At the height of the fuel price crisis, the 'tight wad' Monkeys came up with this masterplan to get ahead of the curve. Didn't last long as they kept falling out as to who was going to steer. https://i.postimg.cc/W1kc7fVQ/SW2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MGJ23bKX/SW1.jpg This later shot shows the boys a...
