Did this little run today. Any lads from Yorky or Lanky will know these roads, but everytime I go its diferrent cause their are just so many.
I head up from our place through outskirts of Bolton through Belmont, Darwin, up past Rocket Centre on to Clitheroe then head out to Settle. A59-A65. At Settle get on the b6479. Or go further and at petrol station near Ingleton get on b6255 , think its called Laundry lane and after a bit it opens up. I love that little stretch of road and would describe it as best ridden with your nads against the tank. You can even get airborn a couple of times. Both join up and end up at Hawes. Either go in to Hawes for a brew or do a sharp left and head for Sedbergh, a684. Crack on to the a683 which takes you to Devils Bridge at Kirkby Longsdale. After a burger and a mooch get back on to a683 to Hornby ,do a left on to b6480 and that will take you back towards a65 and Settle and Clitheroe.
Not a long ride but pretty demanding in places and if theirs not much traffic its ideal for a Tuono. I left at 9-30 and got back in at 3 buggered after about 190 miles.
[if i got the road numbers wrong sorry but you don't really need to know where your going just follow someone else for a bit if you get lost]
Now then lad, thas up in my neck o't woods, and don't forget to wave goin past t'rockets. I like to go up to Hartside cafe, come back down to penrith, ullswater, then over kirkstone pass (stopin at t'shap inn fer t'brew) in to windermere, kendal, follow road to devils bridge but turn off just before caton over trough of bowland. Grand as owt

Link to our trip to the 'Ring' last year, was an interesting trip with KTM's breaking down, MV 312's being thrown into the tarmac at Eau Rouge on Spa trackday. Lovely replacement footpegs they were
Sadly the lass who wrote the thread is no longer with us, she was killed in a bike accident this year. RIP.
Plenty of pics.
I'm the fat fella in the black and yellow jacket
Oh dear mate. What on earth happened to her. I hate hearing about people who've met their end prematurely.
