We passed a trio of sportbikes on the way back - probably snuck up on them. One of them caem up on my rear about 20 miles later and I move over and waved him by.

Kid got about 15 feet past me, crossed the center line and drilled a small oncoming SUV. Broke his leg, broke his bike and ceratinly broke his ego as well...

Don't take this the wrong way, will you, but your part of the World looks a bit like Northumberland/Cumbria/Scottish Borders where I ride over here.

Can't get them Cheesey - Jalapeno Dogs anywhere here though.....

I always thought it kinda looked like the Lake District a bit.... at least as I remember the Lake Dist looking anyway.

But we don't have Hadrian's Wall here. Or any walls for that matter.:( Just a few very, very old buildings. Some are almost 150 years old!!!!! Ancient! :)
