What did you do with whatever else you've got?

Rode the Striple up to the Hartside cafe. Much better suited to these roads than the big Fazer, just feels like everything's a bit more in hand. Great road up there, but Sunday is obviously not a good day for it, as there were loads of chavved-up cars tearing up and down, barely keeping to their own side of the road. So my cunning plan is to do it again tomorrow, when it's supposed to be sunnier too 

Im still yet to make my first trip up to Hartside. This will be my first summer with a "big" bike so hopefully plenty of trips out and about the North East

It was only my second time up there yesterday, so I'm still taking it fairly easy until I'm more familiar with the roads, but that should come as it's only half an hour or so from me. Plenty to catch out the unwary! But some excellent bends on the way up too. I was missing my old local stomping ground dahn sarf (High Beach); looks like the Hartside will be the replacement, but bloody cold up there at times!
