So where in the world is Gabby? Parked up at SMC having her service and her habitation check . Hopefully by now she will have had her oil drained and be full of new oil and a new oil filter . We hope nothing goes wrong and that she comes back without requiring any work . It is always a worry. We just want her back . We have dropped in on the Museum of the Horse and have now driven through the Wolds countryside. A flat land that ends in the North Sea. On the way in we pass the inevitable caravan parks that line the road. Golden Sands and Sea View. It looks like the old fashioned sort of Summer holiday. Mablethorpe bills itself as a holiday resort for kids and their parents and ... read more

The 5 bikes parked in Mablethorpe

Johnny Boy

Well what a name to give to a rideout but it will become apparent as you all read on. We decided to go for a rideout today but there were no plans for a destination when we made our arrangements, there were some suggestions but nothing confirmed, so this morning I got home from work around 5-am and straight to bed to be woken by my alarm at 10-am and climbing into my leathers and additional cold, wet weather gear, I headed off to meet the others at one of our regular meeting points, McDonalds at M1 Junction 30.

The 9-riders

Johnny Boy

With the ‘s no rally coming up in just over a week I suggested a ride out the following Sunday (28th), just to blow the cobwebs off the bikes and to give new members the opportunity for a ride out with the club. Someone suggested the Sand racing at Mablethorpe as a destination and with me as the leader. Sunday arrived and I headed off to Mc Donald’s just off the M1 at junction 30, a regular meeting point for ride outs, having walked the dog beforehand. I was the second to arrive and I knew some of the regular riders wouldn’t be able to make the ride out but I was quite surprised to see 6-bikes turn up with a total of 9 riders in the party. We set off towards out destination around 10:15 ... read more
