I bought one a few years back , cost over a £100 at the time ,  didn't do a very good job , and broke down within a couple of years , I get just as much crap out with a net at a fraction of the cost and about the same amount of effort .

Took a chance on it not raining and took the Guzzi out , stopped at  Glastonbury  for lunch , Riders in Bridgewater for a coffee  , Cheddar  for an ice cream  and stopped at Dads on the way home to make sure he was alright .

Stunning scenery .
Knackering day.....on the  :faz , yay!  :)  Did loads of the gnarly little mountain roads in the Lakes, including Honister, Wrynose and Kirkstone passes. But quite a few other roads around here are similar in steepness, and they require constant concentration. It was actually pretty warm in the sun too, to the point where getting the colder winds at the tops of the passes was a relief!


Photos are a little better today with the sunshine.
Skiddaw's north face got a plastering of snow last night:





Wasdale again:





And Scafell actually not hiding in cloud:





And seen from a different viewpoint on Birker Fell:





It's a fabulous place; the sense of remote, open space is fantastic up here, one of my favourite in the region.


The Fazer goes in for a service tomorrow, and then I'll turn my attention to Scotland a bit I think...can't wait to start exploring somewhere new to me.

I now have Pr3,s , I used to have Bt23 , I am pushing a lot more than I used to , but that is probably having more confidence , since doing the Ron Haslem race school .

I don't worry so much about the Fazer , i clean it once a month when the mood takes me , i just prefer to get on with riding it , the Guzzi however is just for the summer , its too pretty to get dirty , i don't enjoy riding in the winter , i don't like the wet and the cold , although i do use the Fazer for the commute across town in the winter and take it for a 50 mile max ride in the winter months , dry days only  .
