Nice. I had a buddy who were into dirt bikes and was invited by his family to join him on the weekends. Got me hooked after that but after I went into street bikes, I stopped with dirt bikes for some time. Dirt bikes will always have a nice place in my heart, would love to get into dual sport though

I've never had any interest in dirt biking. Doesn't seem to be as popular over here as it is in America. And I very much doubt I will ever carry a pillion. My bike is all about me and me alone!  Money permitting I have a 10 day tour of the UK planned for later this year. So many areas of natural beauty in England that few people ever take the time to see (as they tend to go for cheap package holidays in Europe). But the bike opens up whole new worlds of possibilities. Gonna be fun. |

To each his own, it's still a bike

Yes, beautiful bike, and even if you don't plan on ever carrying a pillion, I can guarantee, plenty will ask  |

Hi Knox. I wish there was a "Drool Face" emoji in the post editor so I'll use  and  to convey my thoughts ...that's a beautiful machine. Regards your trip I hear the Buttertubs Pass is a fantastic stretch of road. The road winds its way north from Simonstone near Hawes towards Thwaite and Muker. Would be nice if you could fit that route into your trip. |

Unfortunately Yorkshire is not part of the trip. However, I am planning on visiting Liverpool at some point this year, so will be able to fit it in then. Thanks for the tip. |

Hi again, That's a shame but when you visit Liverpool later you'll see plenty of great scenery (you might even spot Old Trafford football stadium ). There are many nice routes through Yorkshire so you'll have a great trip whichever you choose. p.s. And have you ever considered the Isle of Man - not to race around of course, but just to cruise round for the experience? |

Way ahead of you. I plan to do the TT circuit. At 30 mph!  |

Hi again, You are one lucky guy, I've always wanted to do the TT. I hope you have good weather for it... but take care, it can get a little tricky up on "The Mountain" with crosswinds. (And Old Trafford? Some sports team that have something to do with Soccerball play there so I hear, but they aren't doing so well at the moment  ) |

Obviously, this would be an unofficial TT circuit. But it will be fun to have said I've done it nonetheless. (And Old Trafford? Some sports team that have something to do with Soccerball play there so I hear, but they aren't doing so well at the moment ) All I can say is "You'll Never Walk Alone" |

All I can say is "You'll Never Walk Alone" I thought you said it would be an unofficial TT Circuit RECORD! Well, it might be, for the slowest but more enjoyable lap! And I've been a fan of MUFC since early 80's! |
