Well tell you the truth I was more worried about the bears... 

Oh yes, going North that is a concern.  They are very active right now as well.  I have lived around Black Bears for years and they are not what I worry about.  The grizzly bears are another matter, I will do my best not to get eaten...

I have seen a few bears on my journey so far, but never too close for comfort.

The brown ones need special education skills to handle properly....yet, when you get one to sit and roll over so you can scratch their nipples  its worth the effort. :littleguy:

That one of the things putting me off if honest. Rather go in the week.

When I (rarely) go there, I go on a Tuesday when it can be quiet, but with the kids on summer hols I doubt any day would be quiet.

The caravan is a definite plus, grizzly bears view tent campers as pre packed food. I got uncomfortably close to a grizzly once and it very quickly makes you realise just how fragile life is.

London broil (marinated beef broil) is an American thing we don’t have it here.

We dont broil any meat. Roast, bake, slow cook, grill, fry yes broil nope.

How could you miss out BBQ? My go-to cooking method! 😂😂😂😂

This is better than varnishing doors.

Nice sea breeze here. Stopped one short of the turning. Meant to be down there 😂

Found the only sliver of shade I could, can’t imagine battery bikes like being fried in the sun. It’s a bit steep, didn’t cross my mind I’d need a handbrake, couldn’t find it, hopefully it still be upright when I get back to it 😂

Way too hot for a cup of tea. Nice icey drink and a view of the Brizzle channel and the Severn crossing.

Now just need to waste enough time that theres no point starting on varnishing, question is will there be enough charge for that? 😂

Ha there’s no parking brake! Wot an oversight! 
Apparently there’s some sort of mod you can do but most people bungee the front brake. Harley fucked that up a bit ay!
 

Some guy said he got off and turned back to look at the bike rolling backwards down the road!! You don’t expect to pay top dollar and have to carry a brake lever bungee with you do you?! 😂

Mind you what a wally not checking his bike was secure before waking away 😆

Not sure, got it the day before we went galavanting. This is only my 2nd ride out on it. 

so your saying you've had it for a couple of months and only now we are seeing photos of it, you'd rather talk about sewage works than post pictures of your new bike

Me neither but it’s a thing.

Doesn’t roll forward so easily but back oh yeah. 
 

I’ll just have to remember to leave the back wheel wedged against the kerb of whatever I can find.

You will have to carry something like this or the locking version of it

Thanks for that but that’s too bulky for me to bother with. These grippy Velcro strips are good for holding the brake on, flat small. Usueful for lots of things. 


I’ve actually got one on each leg at the moment holding my flowery trews inside my boot 😂
