Sorry guys, it looks like I'm backing out.

Just picked up three new projects at work this week and its becoming plain they need attention this weekend to get off the ground.

Gutted not to go but roughly speaking this is going to keep 4 people in work for 12 months, inc me!
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Great time in Yorkshire. Big thanks to Jason for arranging everything and especially the excellent route for Saturday. You couldn't have better "Tiger" roads to ride over.
So here are my photos.....

Drinking some diarhetic after coming back from the pub...

Ride out Saturday....








The Butter Tubs...





More riding...





So the BIG question now is ; where to next year?

P.S. Nigels KTM picked up a rear puncture on the way home. After trying two cans of foam which came straight out of the small hole that they should have sealed easily we fitted a new tube.

Excellent shots Blacktiger! They really capture the spirit of the ride out!

& What's that you say, another puncture? There's sabotage afoot! At least the practice of helping to fix mine & Metalguru's punctures on the up to the way to the meet came in handy :!:

It was nice to see all of you guys again & of course nice to see some new faces too :D

I think everyone will aggree, a great weekend was had by all :!:

Like Blacktiger says:- WHERE TO NEXT  :?:  :?:  :?:
All the best, Mat-tiger1. 👍

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
