Beautiful cold and clear weather here today so it seemed daft not to go out for a bimble while   I had the chance.  
I first headed up to Damerells on the off chance they had one of the new Honda CB350’s in yet.   No such luck but it was worth a look.

I notice the new colour for the CB125F is black, they had 10 in the showroom spread around.

Some new interesting stock in

I do like this model Bonniville, not sure about the colour but a a nice bike nonetheless.

After Damerells I headed off to the North coast.  
Stopped at Tregonetha  to change my gloves and pod cast.

Then on to Padstow for a mooch about.   Very pretty village but full of tourists even in early December.

Then headed off to Trevone for a look. No bugger there  😎👍

Decided to head home then, through Wadebridge, Bodmin, Lanivet, Bugle, Stenaless  and St Austell.    Stopped in St Blazey for fuel then back to Fowey.  Main roads were fine but the more rural roads were slippery with all sorts of debris.   More tip toeing around than bimbling but fine as long as I rode to the conditions.    61mpg when I filled up and that probably reflects the conditions, no blasting  around, just not safe to do it.   Great way to spend a few hours.   😎

Twas but had thermals and heated grips so was bearable.

Nice selection of machinery @ Damerells.... likin' that R7 & a coupla those Zooks. 👍😎

Yep all new stock from the last time I was there.  They sell a shitload of bikes in that place, even this time of year they turn the bikes over.    I was talking to the salesman back along and he said they sell every CB500F and X they can get their hands on.   Also 125's walk out the door he said.   The bigger stuff takes longer but it does go.

Those black 125's look pretty sharp...👍

Same as Shadows red one, very popular bikes.   Cheapish top buy and still a Honda so won't be worthless after a couple of years.
