Saul Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Well all the females in the family were off to some Gymkhana today and I had planned to do next to nothing so I rolled out of bed late at 8:30 and had a look on my phone. There was a message from last night saying if you want to ride up to Kitt Hill for breakfast meet us at 4Turnings garage at 9:00am. Panic stations as Louis at Kitt Hill do a Killer breakfast. Shit, dressed, teeth and I made it with 5 mins to spare. I met up with two mates one on a 1986 BMW R100 and the other with a 1973 Triumph Bonnie. They gave a lovely sound track up to Kitt Hill, 30 miles or so. When we got there it was the start of a Classic Bike meet which was a complete surprise to us. We got our breakfast orders in sharpish then sat and watched the bikes arrive. It soon got much busier I loved the cam gear window on this Duc Can you spot what’s odd about this lovely old R100C ? I loved this old Sunbeam. The guy riding it was just as old and scruffy. Cool dude though. Spot the ignition switch on this Cotton. I am guessing there must have been 100 bikes or much, lots of modern Triumphs, Harleys and Sports Bikes but I only photographed what I was interested in. Afterwards my mate on the R100 had to go home to let the dog out, single guy. My mate with Triumph suggested that we go up to Dartmoor for a ride. It is stunning up there and of course I never thought to photograph any of it. We did stop in Princetown for a coffee overlooking the Prison. Actually, although it sounds grim with the Prison and all, Princetown is a very nice little town. We then headed up across the moor to Chagford turned around and did a sort of X shape across the moor and back. Great day and not planned at all but lots of fun. Couple of moments when my mates Bonnie didn’t want to start but with some swearing and a few kicks it came back to life. Of course I took the piss with my reliable Honda. It’s always the unplanned trips that are the best. Now off to apply more after sun to me head. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front end is from a later model R100. The wheel and Brembos give it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
