Mixed cold and showery this morning.  Went to the meet before the off and there was a grand total of 2 of us, me on the Hornet and Martin on his Guzzi V85 the rest of them had very good reasons for not coming, I think the main one was they are puddle dodgers and couldn’t possibly get their bikes dirty  🤨

I had thermaled up with several layers so all was good apart from not wearing winter gloves, but even so heated grips saved dayIMG_1764.thumb.jpeg.19059644cc55282d9cbe6901cd58f8f6.jpeg grips saved the day

Sone great views from Kitt Hill big skies from being high up    On a side note my daughter was shocked to hear I was going to Kitt Hill today, turns out that where all the kids from her college go to shag on a Saturday night.    Who knew 🤣

Some lovely old bikes there and refreshing to see them ridden despite patchy weather.   IMG_1756.thumb.jpeg.b5cf3dd83eca6966a8231d68a1c9d26c.jpegIMG_1756.thumb.jpeg.b5cf3dd83eca6966a8231d68a1c9d26c.jpegIMG_1757.thumb.jpeg.4e7ffb0413aa1c4076740beb6f10254b.jpegIMG_1758.thumb.jpeg.3e9003d96f0e417677cc6457f7483268.jpegIMG_1759.thumb.jpeg.117fa35e93c7119c83006bf895c37ca5.jpegIMG_1760.thumb.jpeg.f75e3aaf72e8a39ccf41c5ad90167cb9.jpegIMG_1761.thumb.jpeg.c004f87cbce90b48174b30169c85fffc.jpegIMG_1762.thumb.jpeg.ebe07134cc4d9eda41c7e5c9918f549a.jpegIMG_1764.thumb.jpeg.19059644cc55282d9cbe6901cd58f8f6.jpegIMG_1765.thumb.jpeg.43d865c1c978a3c427afea40a6f4a8d3.jpeg

After leaving there we went back to Liskeard and the Checkered Flag Cafe and bike shop.   Great cafe but there was some sort of bike club meet there.   All patched up called Widows Sons or something similar.   Bit sad to my eye but live and let live I suppose, they were friendly enough even they were a bit old to be a bike gang.    
 

Oh and after the inevitable clean up.

Interesting to see how that CB500X looked bigger than the old CB900......cos that was considered physically big back in the late 70's.

And that looked like a D14/4 Bantam there!

Just now, Pedro said:

You think it is very overpriced?

They've dropped the price several times now and it's still not selling! Tells a story! 😉
