We can't wait till all this salt disappears from the roads. We'll be out round Durham and up the Dales on our bikes. Maybe a rally or two. Hopefully we'll be bumping into fellow fabbers on our travels   |

First time out this year on the Triumph Explorer. We headed to Seaham. Good to see a good few bikes there. Would have been perfect to have had a social with another biker couple while we were there |

"Not long till pur first bike night, the countdown has begun the 6th Aprils not that far off now ??
Shame it's the same night as the Manor cafe social night "
Is that Manor Cafe North Yorkshire? if so there's enough miles between the two for good catchment at both |

Got sick of the idiots while trying to sell privately so Triumph ended up with it in the end. They bought it off me today |

"Never been to wetlands my idea of hell , crap coffee and a carpark full of power rangers speeding about lol"
Been to wet lands once. Took our own coffee so can't comment on how good or not it is from the van, not sure how you think it's crap if you haven't been though. It was good craic the night we went and a good mix of biker folk, in no way is it full of power rangers speeding about. You park up, grab a coffee n sandwich and have great chat. Much like any other bike night. It was busy and that was a Wednesday night we went. |

I do all my bike servicing myself. As I bought a new tiger 900GT a year ago, triumph did the 1000 mile 1st service a month later, the service light is due to come on. So, I have bought a tool to reset the service light from Healtech, MM T02. If anyone needs their light switched off and the tool is compatible, check their website, I could be the man to help you out |

Sunday is looking like the best day of the weekend for getting the bikes out. We are off to Whitby, we were going Saturday but forecast not good so we changed it to Sunday |
