3 Go East again
Loaded and ready to Rock and Roll for another East coast Trip, obviously breakfast was required before setting off.
Cadwell British Superbikes
A great weekend at Cadwell Park for round 7 of the British Superbikes. We camped a few miles away from the track at one of our usual venues, it was busy for a couple of days but quite for the last night.
Rob was delighted to meet his hero, Peter Hickman as soon as we entered on day one.
It was a good weekend for Rory Skinner Cheshire Mouldings FS-3 Kawasaki, not so good for Lee Jackson, Lee dropped his bike at the top of the mountain on the first race, but even worse for Dan Jones who hit Lee’s bike square on at around 80mph. Dan was air lifted to hospital to checked out fully, but we believe that thankfully his main injury was a broken collar bone.
We are looking forward to next years event at Cadwell Park.
Ypres Belgium
Our trip over to Ypres was a great success. We found Great Grandads grave, visited the biggest commonwealth was cemetery known, and the WW1 trenches.
We also had a couple of great evenings in Ypres, good food and beer.
I am pleased I bought the new bike before the trip, an excellent bike for a longer ride.
New Bike arriving
All being well, April 1st. Unless it’s a joke of course.
We should do more.
New Callipers
Himalayan is in for new callipers next week. Apparently the factory fitted have not been anodised and suffer from corrosion in salty conditions.
Now , which bike shall I have ???
A bewildering choice of bikes at the Superbike Factory Donnington.
We probably wouldn’t be able to bend our knees enough to get on most of them.
Thanks for the photo Robin.
Preparing for the next trip
The preparation for the next trip has commenced. Here are the first items collected for the evening round the camp fire.
Courtesy of The Gate raffle, though I reckon the amount of tickets we have bought it would have been cheaper to nip into the local supermarket.
Another Nice Short Ride
Another nice short ride today to Matlock. Just two of us today, a plate of chips and cup of tea, the a ride back to the Gate for the obligatory pint.
Fortunately Matlock was not too busy, and we managed to avoid the rain.
