Shame there arn't more weekends in a week.......

No please leave it as is.  Makes my retirement great as it keeps the hordes off my favorite roads for 5 days a week.

Fair point Andre.

I found a damn nice proper old pub in Wharfdale today, The Craven Arms. It's got a campsite about 300yrds away too, I see a plan forming one weekend....

The barn at the back is apparently the first one build that way in about 500 years. I forget the name, Crick Barn maybe? with a huge Oak frame in the centre formed of single trunks on each side. It's a wonderful building.

Cruck Barn Hooli

Looks a fabulous place...

I'm old now, that's why I bought a smaller safer sensible bike.
Cruise control, luggage, ABS.

Less of that racing about on those big nasty 1400's......

Rode to Maleny today with the guys I went to WSBK back in Feb 2019. Stopped at Mt.Mee lookout. That's Glasshouse Mountains in the background

Went and did a training course today. If you do two courses, cost being $50 each you get $100 off your ACC levy for the next two years. In NZ $440 of a 14's rego is ACC levy.
The 14 still turns heads. Some very complimentary remarks from a few of the guys.
Finished the course then went and visited my dad, its Fathers Day here today.
A very enjoyable day,  home 358 kms later.

I didn't know that Col, is that the Ride for Life courses?  Might go & do a couple myself.  Was the 2nd one you went to the 'gold' one?

Yesterdays course was run by ProRider in Tauranga as part of the ACC Ride Forever scheme. Might be another provider in Christchurch.
I did the Gold Course Col, they presume you have already done the Silver course. Have done both the Silver and Gold before. You can do one ACC subsidised refresher course each year. So cost for each course is just $50.
Biggest thing l learned yesterday was about the information available from understanding the road markings.

Went out for a ride yesterday to Minehead, ended up following a K2 into Minehead, anyone from here?  After a bacon butty I went for a walk around Minehead and met up with Nelly Welly and his wife out on a ride out with around 100 other bikes, he has THE best number plate on his bike, saw 3 other 14's, again anyone from here?  Then I carried on up porlock hill and onto Lynmouth and then Linton where I stopped to take a picture with Swansea or Port Talbot in South Wales as a backdrop.  Then over Exmore to Dunster Castle and back home, sun was out but it wasn't all that warm.
