Setting off from Leeds, me on the X9 and my mate on the bandit headed off to Manor cafe after there we went to hawes and ingelton and settle then to the Tan hill pub ( was cold up there ) , it was dark and i think i killed ( ran over )
2 bunny rabbits :cry: All over the roads and countrysides they just run out from nowhere lol makes me squeamish, i did do an emergency stop for a head hog tho, casually crossing the dark country road, got off my bike and give it a nudge with my hands and get it to hurry up lol.

Was a nice ride, nice to be back out riding, the one thing that makes me happy :D but i don't know if its just me getting old but cold seams to bother me a lot more now.

thanks roygib knew it was leyburn something, nice roads to ride up there.

oh and Ferret i am not to keen on the MP3's now, the gilera foco looks mean enough to own but all the other MP3s are just plain to me, yeah an extra wheel for safety but i think its more suited to old time bikers that have some bad joints or cant handle gear bikers no more and want a bit more stability and safety, the guy riding it had a fake leg so kinda explains why he may be on one, i just don't see any benefits of owning one over a nice maxi-scooter just my view tho.

I must agree the old fuoco looks so much better . I had one to try and must admit it was fun to ride but too under powered for me .

Solo,it's not just older riders with health problems buying mp3's,it's all ages and a big reason is you do not need a bike licence,if you have passed you car test before 13th,Jan,2013.I had a mp3,it was fun to ride,but so dame heavy,the new Yamaha Tricity 125 looks ok and only weights 152g.
