    Iv visited the Peak District drove around there. I stayed in Chesterfield and drove around Matlock, Bakewell, Castleton. Love it beautiful scenery and very pretty and calming. That road trip definitely helped me to reinforce the concept of "Think Bike" when driving especially when overtaking and turning as I saw lots of them around the Derbyshire Dales.

    Yeah, great riding to be had in this country if you have the time to go find it! What with Melton Mowbray and Bakewell it's a pie and pudding heaven too!

    Nice roads. Long, long time since I have been up that way, so I shall watch with interest. Plenty of good riding to be had in the peaks and dales. If you like puddings, by the way, it's probably too late to suggest you stop in at Bakewell. ;-)

    I am surprised you did not stop for lunch at Super Sausage. Well known biker cafe in the A5. NN12 7WD. Great food, great service.

    A607 to Melton Mowbray from Leicester is a nice road and then go towards Oakham.

    When you nodded to the other biker (the first one as you left Nuneaton) you passed MIRA, where my dad worked in the 80's.

    Nice one Steve !. Just getting back into biking after a 40 year gap, at 58. I have a few now (lets not go there though :-) - procured over the last year. I love watching a normal cruise. I'm overseas most of the time, but my last "Cruise" was on my 1975 - first year - Goldwing from Ross to Newport in August when I was home, and received the bike. I was smiling for the entire trip. Cut me in half, and it will say Honda - not Blackpool. I'm with "OldFartUK" below. I'm a Northerner originally (and always), and followed his route on my Honda CB250N - a lifetime ago. It really is the BEST of areas to explore on a bike - spring, through summer. Subscribed Steve - so get out there and send me some normal rides out to enjoy in Cairo till I retire at the end of the year. Cheers mate

      @@TheMissendenFlyer Sorry Andy. I could have sworn you said "Steve" at the end of the vid :-) I'll get my ears syringed. I've subscribed, and will be enjoying your channel as "Therapy" betwixt my own riding opportunities, and time stuck in the desert. Will also be watching your flying vids that you mentioned too - done a bit myself and have / had a glider pilots licence many years ago. Cheers Andy - AKA Steve ;-)

      Andy. One of the "Don't ask" bikes I have is a 916SPS Foggy Replica. Wouldn't wish to give the number out in public, but below 40, of the 202 that were made.
