what did you do with your fazer today ?

Not today, but only just reconnected back online, so I'm gonna tell you anyway
[size=1em]Last week, I finally got around to giving the bike a thorough wash, and ACF'd the living daylights out of it, so at last it was ok to get out on the road again.[/size]

I had planned just a short loop, Alston, Penrith and home. Good ride across to Alston, stopped for a coffee, then headed south towards Penrith. That took me over Hartside Top, so accidentally stumbled upon the Hartside cafe - I knew it was on one of these roads around here somewhere, but didn't know it's exact whereabouts, so that's one little bit of local orientation sorted    Cafe closed, and a foccing stiff, cold wind howling across the top, so just a brief pause to take in the view, then off again.
These roads will be fun come summer!

You are just across the A69 from me and Hartside is a regular ride out for us so maybe we can meet up next summer

Got a couple of bikes given the ACF50 treatment by Les from Allweatherbiker this weekend - did a great job of cleaning and spraying for winter protection at £65 a bike - not a bad price at all given the attention to detail he provides ...

Hope the water levels reduce so you can get out n about soon
cheers
