    Certainly looks pretty! Nice price too - not something I'd buy for a while, I don't wanna go slow on a TT bike and get beaten by someone in work clothes :lol:

    Hey all - everyone has woken up. I know dCabs has had an op and not been about but has been quiet - I managed to spill milk on my mac and one of keys for my password has been out of action until now.

    I am off doing the Manc to Blackpool on Sunday - should be a bit of fun.

    Anyone around on the Wednesday - I am missing my mad dashes from work.

    apparently the woman has been arrested and cautioned so that must mean something!??

    Was he reversing out onto the highway?
    Highway code states
    177. Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.

    i just found this on another thread.. surely this MUST implicate me also? since this road is a highway..

    Done a 'bit', should have done more. Saturday was a nice ride out, bumped into Morstar on my regular route around Rivington and showed him around a little. Stayed off yesterday and dealt with jobs around the house along with some pointing work in the back yard.
  • not sure who I bumped into tonight but had a good natter and a ride round Mawdsley, might see some of you out and about as Rivvy and the flat lands out to Southport are my local patch
  • Over the bars on Sat. Ow.

    Hello all - this weekend was good fun - did the Manchester to Blackpool, I know people knock it but really enjoyed it. Got a good time (for me) despite weaving through traffic - chatted to a few nice people and missed the rain. All in all a good little ride.

    I regularly get out and about around the rivvy section to belmont, or routes weaving around the peel and jubilee towers.

    I did a southport and back earlier in the year from bolton which was fun, but the ToB is an awesome area steady rider you will enjoy! :D

    Done the TOB and back to go see the nationals in barley this year. The return leg was very taxing, nice heat but ran out of steam by the end. Was great day though.
