[Alf Garnett]

Greetings from Carlisle,allways keen on a ride ...(0ut),let us know when you up here

Now there's a thing.

Why is Cumbria in the North East?



Greg

Coz those midlanders claimed the north west for themselves

 

[original_concept]

Cool the father in law spouts doom and gloom about the speed enforcement there whats your take on it?

Same as anywhere else; don't take the biscuit; avoid Sundays, for anything other than keeping 'em peeled and legal. Keep it off the main roads for the interesting bits.

There's plenty of good roads up here; to the East (WearDale etc); then a bit further South (Dales etc); a bit further North (Scotland) for a quick bombing run and back.

Only problems compared to down South is the weather and being nearly 400 miles from France.

I miss hustling the bike through London at times; not enough traffic to play with at times up here.... oh what a shame

Wigton

Overheard in a cafe in Wigton last year........



"I've got one of those washer dryers from Argos. Its great it does a really quick wash, you just put the dial to "K" for quickwash........"



I did'nt hear the rest of the conversation cos coffee had come out of my nose.

Maryport

or thereabouts my better-halfs parents are there and mine are in Aberdeenshire so moving about 5 hours closer to them as well is a welcome bonus should be there sometime in the next three months or so (wife,s notice period)
so if any one knows of anyone looking for a Class one driver in the area let us know

Always up for a party!

Cumbrians -

Cumbrian on GS 650 attempting to get out weekends. Have a couple of off road runs available - tracks green lanes - happy to share/indicate the way when ever I can. My wife also has 650 (both of us having a great time in Isle of Man recently) so very happy to get a ride out at some stage.
Based: Kendal.

Kendal lady would you be happy to meet up with my wife?

Hopefully meet at some stage - all?

GS er Sellafield interested to know what's you doing over there as some time get across there on the bike working.

Long live the Cumbrians that are based in the North East - that's very bizzare!
