Beta testing

[JohnnyBoxer]

Bling has been arriving lately for the new bike and it's all fitted now, with the exception on some for gaitors

Bashplate was a late arrival so fitted it early this morning

So with the sun shining I headed out to test it all out..... Best day of the week, today - mild and sunny

Second lane of the day, time to reduce the pressures as this past week has been wet and the lanes are a bit 'squirmy'








Nice open lane next, with splendid views of the nearby lakes






Stopped in Masham, at Bordar House for a tea and bacon sarnie, bumped into an old friend 'Diesel Dave' on his HD MT350 and had a chat, we talked lanes and he wanted to explore one, he hadn't done before - so we headed out for 45 mins to do it and travelled over the grouse moors








Dave always has his trusty long coat terrier on board and the dog loves a few trails, on the bike

We went our separate ways after a short while and I carried onto Leyburn for fuel and then took in another favourite, just out of town

Under the disused railway bridge



This trail, gets a bit trickier - but nothing too bad






Cracking day out, really good to get out on the bike and do a few trails again

Some nice photos there JB, our wheaten terrier wouldn't trust my bike skills..

Pity the bike had to be cleaned before every photo was taken..

If you want some mud come to Somerset.

Dave.

Glad you are putting that new bike to good use JB. That last couple of photos reminds me of a holloway near me Dads in Barlow.
