I think that first narrow lane with it’s dreadful camber and potholes finally finished me with the NT it really tired me out and after the success of the Burnsall ride I was happy with the swap loving the 500
What truly hideous weather, still it sounds like you're used to it by now. I felt distinctly uneasy watching your discomfort. I was surprised how many bikes had made the effort. That's Yorkshiremen for you! The Laverda stood out as a bike from my teens. A Norton Commando, Triumph Trident and Suzuki GT550 would have made the perfect quartet. Hope you got some grub ahead of the doubtless wet ride home.
Re. Pinlock, i think that certain visors/helmets they just don't work. Its the visor I think. For example I have an HJC RPHA helmet that cost £300, ive tried 3 pinlocks, fitted at different shops and 2 new visors and none have worked. Contrast that with an Aria where the pinlock works fantastically.
Some brave soles at that event.
Evening Richard 😊 not many bikes but a great selection 👍 see you soon hopefully 😊
There were some very nice ones. 🙂

That road really was terrible!
I used to have a 400/4 in that colour 1980ish. Loved it.
I would still really like one as a project.
@ Can’t argue against that, but one old Honda is enough for me! lol.

Riding with Graham would drive me up the wall..
He's a good friend 🙂

Bet Graham loved you for taking him down this lane (9 mins) on his NT1100 😊 but he will be fine now
He may have mentioned it at the end. Something about "the worst lane he's ever ridden". I think he was pleased of the experience! 😀
