Left home at 10:45 Intention- Ride to Hawes and on to discover Buttertubs mentioned on last Sundays rideout. Got to Hawes cup of tea then on to A place called Thwaite- Murker passing Buttertubs. Onwards over the moors to Kirby Stephen then through Nateby Outhgill and back to Hawes. Park up have a nice cigar, set off for home. Back at 5 :10 A great day out. :) Thankyou Bike!

Sounds like a nice rideout.

Did you not stop at the Cheese Factory in Hawes?
I do like the Buttertubs pass. been over a couple of times, then onto The Tann Hill Inn.

Mdk1 I used to visit the cheese factory till it changed hands a few years ago and prices went up. Iam not exactly sure where i was on the moors but there was a pub in the middle of no-where that might have been the Tan Hill. There were other bikers out yesterday, but as usual, didn't see one scooter, Maxi or otherwise. Definately a run i will do again to get to know the roads better.

Got my fork seals out finally thanks to my friends Mr Screwdriver and Mr Hammer in 10 minutes having spent several hours trying the proper way...

And I came to the conclusion that part of any bike riders overall maintenance is to take out any screws, every 6 months say, clean them and cover them and the orifices in which they belong in copper grease and re-insert. To make sure they never weld themselves in place.

Still garaged away since Friday 2.30pm will be getting out tomorrow for work about 1pm so it's had a decent time to dry, lol. I was hoping to wash this weekend, but you know, even bought some Muc off.

Scrapped something on the bottom of the TMax going over a hump in the road, the Tmax is lower than the Nexus. Almost got the Nexus back together again having done the fork seals... then its booked in next Saturday for MOT (No charge as they only need to check the seals are done).

Its going to be real hard parting with the Nexus, you never know I might get to keep it if no one wants it :D

Cleaned up 2 scoots and a CB250, thanks to WD40, Spray Lubricant 1A, Mr Sheen used during the winter, they all cleaned up well. Now for fitting some new parts and servicing them.
