    Went up to the Peak District for a days chilled riding, great weather, great scenery.

    Only downside of the day was riding with a wet arse from the Welsh rain that had soaked into my seat foam and crevasses last weekend.

    Had this for the short ride home and back to dealership while mine was being sorted. Couldn't really give it real gas but it's definitely there!
    Very light and nimble and very torquey. but I felt lacks the beefiness of mine.
    Totally different bike I guess.

    Another shout out for Trevor at Sprint Manufacturing. Ordered new foot peg & rubbers yesterday at 2pm. They arrived by 11 this morning & now fitted which neatens up the old gal a little bit.

    Yes, but a bike colour only it’s mother could really love…

    Sorry - I think white is a daring colour so probably aren’t qualified to pass critical comments.

    ;):)

    Awesome winter's day called for a quick spin.
    Actually saw a white triple today, Triumphs not very common in these parts.

    Because the weather has been so unpredictable as of late, we didn't arrange a group ride this morning and Mr. Sandi and I went for a Sunday ride today, just the two of us. As I said to him when we arrived back home, it was "like the good ol' days" when I had just begun riding and our ride outs were nearly exclusively with each other. Not that I don't enjoy riding with our usual crew but it was really nice to just be out together. :heart: It also meant we didn't have to be at a particular place at a particular time to meet up with a group which started the day in a more relaxed way than usual.

    Mr. Sandi chose our breakfast destination, Coyote Pause, and off we went. It's not a long ride to this favorite restaurant (about 16 or 17 miles) but it's a beautiful one that goes over Gates Pass on the west side of town through Tucson Mountain Park. It was a glorious morning with temperatures in the 70ºsF, partly sunny skies, and green foliage everywhere thanks to our record rainfall over the past month and a half. :sun: Mr. Sandi was on his H-D Street Glide and I chose my Speed Triple RS.

    We ate outdoors in the courtyard and were the only ones sitting out there. We're back to wearing masks indoors which means we always choose to dine outdoors when the option is available. Even if we'd felt comfortable sitting indoors, the courtyard was beautiful with lots of flowers blooming and birds singing and it was very peaceful. This was our view to the east from our table under the ramada. :cool:
    IMG_1965.jpeg

    I had my usual breakfast here, the Southwest Scramble with a side of fruit and a mesquite pancake with maple syrup. Mr. Sandi had Huevos Rancheros--corn tortillas, black beans, cheese, eggs over medium, and both red and green salsa. He added a side of link pork sausage. :yum Everything is still being served on throwaway serving dishes due to Covid. : unamused:

    The complex of buildings in which Coyote Pause is located also has a thrift store and a number of smaller shops that offer many different kinds of local artists' work. I may need to ride back out on Tuesday because my best girlfriend's birthday is Wednesday and I haven't yet bought her a gift. This would be the perfect place to find something special. And it's also a good reason (and excuse!) to ride again soon. ;)
    IMG_1959.jpeg

    Before our breakfast arrived, I ran out to the bikes to get a long-sleeved shirt to ward off the bugs--a less pleasant side effect of all of our rain. But I'm glad I did because I spied these three very cool vehicles parked at the opposite end of the parking lot. :grinning: I'm sure there are some of you on here who will know the make and model and even the year of each of them. :blush: I don't but I certainly enjoyed looking at and photographing them. I especially liked the business logo--and cow horns--on the old pickup truck and the personalized license plate on the Corvair.
