Out and about thread.

Just if you have been out and about, not a day ride  just a spin.    Had to pop out this morning to get some flux core solder.    Nothing exciting just good to be on 2 wheels.    And yes that beard needs controlling 😳

Well we had a glorious day weather-wise....been dealing w/ plumbing issues in the front yard the last few days...giant pain in the arse & gonna be on the spendy side before it's all over.🙄 Mrs. Hook cooked up a tasty pork sirloin dish for dinner tonight....so I took the opportunity for an Out & About spin on the Mullet before she was done. Flippin' beautiful day along Clark creek...:classic_cool:

Looks awfully close to the road...don't think the fishies are swimming...

You'd be surprised... the wild life is never very far away.... I saw an awesome 12-point bull Elk along that creek last fall...

Not really a day ride but out with 3 mates to the take advantage of the sunshine for a few hours.   Good to stretch the Hornets legs for the first time in weeks.

We rode over to Slaughterbridge, them Otterham Station.    Down to Wadebridge, Dameralls then home.    Tea was taken and a load of yap but not much else happened.

Looks like we're finally due for some snow🌨️ tonight....I'll believe it when I see it.🙄 Since Mrs. Hook seems to have come down w/ a pesky sinus issue, I decided to do a load of her laundry for her...BUT not before I got a much needed session on the Mullet in before the precip starts falling....

Well Shadow hasn’t been out on her bike for two months or more so I am taking it out every couple of weeks to keep the battery up and give it a run.   Actually dry this morning, it won’t last, so did the 12 mile loop out around Par Moor and St Blazey.   When I got back decided to do the same loop on the CBF.   You don’t have to go far or fast for that 2 wheeled smile.      😎

TBH 10 miles of the 12 mile trip were 20/30/40 mph speed limits so the 125 was fine.    Light and easy to throw around.  The 600 is a perfect all rounder fast enough, nimble enough, warm enough, comfy enough.    Of course there is better in every way but for mooching around built up areas in 4c it’s perfect 😉

After cleaning the CBF  I decided to go out for a bimble and ended up doing 100 miles.   Headed over to Bodmin then on to follow the North Coast Road West.   Bloody windy but not cold.  I had my leather and summer gloves on and was plenty comfy.   Heated grips on of course.   A couple of miles from home I realised I hadn’t taken a single photo, in fact I don’t think I even put a foot down so I stopped and did 😉

Lovely chilled out ride on the CBF that is a joy to be on.

Out and about on both the Sprint and my CBF this morning.   I went out on the Triumph first to book an MoT as it runs out next week.   The garage I normally use it 3 miles away 

IMG_7011.thumb.jpeg.1b6788ed59dac4a458aaa50d7ba294f0.jpeg

I got back home on the Triumph after a lovely little bimble but completely forgot to book the MoT 🤣

IMG_7018.thumb.jpeg.9320b4beef6903f0c38975e65511dae9.jpeg

So went back on the CBF to give it a run to actually book the MoT 

IMG_7015.thumb.jpeg.f18d1f1f36224b474e089e9cb8d5dc25.jpeg

Still got a little distracted

It was certainly a contrast riding the bikes back to back.   The CBF felt like a toy after the Triumph, so easy to use and friendly, all revvie and light controls.    The Triumph on the other hand is all big hairy chested drama next to the Honda 😎.  Really enjoy both to be honest
