Picked up my r80 G/S from Darlington on Saturday .. epic journey through the Dales via Richmond, Buttertubs/Swaledale, into Settle (cracking coffee and bakewell at the 3 Peaks Cycle), Skipton .. then down to Hebden Bridge (excellent Pizza at the Old North bar) through the backroads down to the Peak District and on towards Derby where I jumped on the M1 and headed to Berkshire as it was getting late .. 310 miles and a full day in the saddle .. not a bad little shakedown ride for this 42 year old beastie.
