  • [Photo Feature]: Teesdale and Northumberland, England. Rideout Sunday 12 April

    Hi Guys,

    Apologies for the delay in getting back on here but university work needed doing first (after a blistering weekend)...

    I'm putting up some pictures from the ride BUT I nearly FREAKED out when I was going through pictures I took on the train journey to Chandigarh a few days BEFORE I met the Delhi Dudes. DCS will know what I mean by that when he sees the picture. I didn't know any of you, he saw me in Karol Bagh at the bike shops before I met up with you and I saw the dude in the first pic before then, then met him later!!! (Sorry about the blurry pic but the train was doing a fair speed) Freaky. In a city with possibly up to 16 million people we saw Xbhpian folk we'd meet for the first time later. That's lottery winning odds!

    Anyhoo... here are some pictures from the weekend ride. We went up through moorland (Teesdale) from Bishop Auckland in County Durham and on towards The Hartside Cafe in Northumberland where bikers from all over the North East of England meet at the weekends. It's a stunning ride there and if I can I'll post a couple of short videos I took on a normal digi camera so the quality's a bit dodgy. You're going to love the pics of Hartside.... ACE bikes there. Thanks for the Passion Hunt Bandana B2L, it's taking pride of place in the 'Biker's Lounge' at Sal's house.

    As usual I seem to only get four or five pictures uploaded at a time. More to follow next.

    More pics dudes from Englalalalaland.

    Last lot to follow. Then I'll try uploading the videos. Doh!

    Topic Approved.

    Hey Olias, I have merged all the three different threads, here in this one thread. That way it becomes easier for all of us to view and enjoy the pictures at one go!

    Lovely pictures, lovely weather and I am sure you guys had a GREAT ride as well. Man, those LOVELY lids just take my heart away. Tremendous; love those graphics!

    P.S: No 09'R1s in your group??

            Jim,
            You see its a small world, and it becomes even smaller for us as we are into/on BIKES...
            We all are glad that we got an opportunity to meet you sooner or later.
            These pics just left me asking for more. Great machines with some beautiful color schemes, lovely weather, amazing landscapes too in a few and those breath taking lids. And just not sports bikes, I see quite a few nakeds too .
            The Bandana pic looks great especially with the Nose Ring :P.
            Thanks
            I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
            Ride often, ride well, have fun.

                True B2L, very true...It's a global village. Glad you and the rest of the guys enjoyed the pics. As I said I'll not be out this weekend but as rides happen through the summer, I'll post what I see over here.

                              It was complete coincidence. Great isn't it how that happens. Apologies for the pic quality but it was a snap taken as I saw the bikes as the train was flying past. Craaazzeeeee. I did have a wee freak out when I saw it on going thru my pics later and after meeting you all. Weird!!!... but cool.
