Bikers of the smb



I've SORN my VFR and insurance runs out on June 9th. It's only moved out of my garage once since March and that was so I could tidy up. It is purely a commuter and I won't be doing that for the foreseeable future.
 
Been out quite a bit.
Tuesday did my favourite route. Across to stanhope - middleton in teesdale - brough - down to kirkby stephen - tan hill - reeth - richmond - home.
Been going out on the chop, it rattles and vibrates like hell but is a hoot to ride. Apart from the clutch is stupidly hard, got an ez clutch to fit at the weekend, had it years but never bothered putting it on.

Was in Reeth on Sunday, in the time it took to eat my ice there must have been a couple of hundred bikes came through.
