Guys, I'm really enjoying this virtual tour of North Yorkshire. The locations are familiar, but from nearly 40 years ago. We recently went back to visit my brother in law in Guisborough, who has sadly passed away, and now we have no living relatives North of Scunthorpe. I can remember a time when I ...

A word on Micron cans

Hi, After a 200 mile, two day, burn along the South coast on my Ace, I'd like to praise the old school Micron can with an EXUP. No need for decibel killers, as the EXUP runs slow and quiet but once over 7000rpm she howls! I don't hear much of the airbox on the Ace, so a bit of extra tone goes down b...

I have bad memories of Garrowby Hill. Years ago on my FZ750 I was out with a few friends coming home from Bridlington in the dark. We were doing about 80mph and as we came to the brow of the hill. We came across a line where they'd put a sign up saying loose chippings, and when I say chippings I'm ...

We get this a lot in the East riding of Yorkshire. They use all sorts of vehicles to try and nab us. A white volvo estate, a grey BMW, a builders van, a camper van, a horse box, A snack bar caravan, a load of unmarked bikes and a couple of years ago they were using a tractor with a camera in the ca...

Hi,

This seems to happen in counties with good riding roads, which Derbyshire has. :(

Hello from newbie

Hi, I'm a newbie here in the UK. Currently keeping two EXUPs on the road, a 2000 Thunderace and a 1999 R1. Both nice bikes and I'm riding most days, mostly on the Ace, to preserve the mileage on the R1. I'm in that trap of not wanting to take the miles over 30,0000. Why? http://img.photobucket.com/a...
