As an aside: I have to add, this was a very special day for me:
It's the first time I overtook Panzer Patrol when we were both going for it..
That REALLY is impressive Chris......well done.
Ahh ................... someday.
You gotta catch him off-road...
Otherwise you're doomed..
panzer didnt do any off road today as far as i can remember .
Hi Chris, I was going for it...... in the opposite direction, There must be another short fat sackless GSer on a blue un. I did see you wiz past at the junction just outside of Stanhope. I was looking for a garage. MM said it was an age thing...I forgot to fill up when I left. You can count the number of filling stations in the Dales on the fingers of a badly damaged hand. What a pain trying to get some juice, ended up in Alston at the finish. Anyhoo our intrepid hero Steady Away completed the course on his old R75, he sailed up Haggs Bank on his Tutonic pogo-stick. A grand day out was had by all.
Best bit of the day was seeing the new 1200 GS burn the clutch out on a gentle lane Oh how we laughed.
the 75 did well also the BM engined outfit was doing really well.
