    Forum Newbie Ses310 and Thumper joined me for a brief ride-out today and despite a frosty start to the day we enjoyed a good ride over one of my regular loops. It was the first chance I have had to use the FZ since putting the old crate back on the road too, so I was really looking forward to it.

    Very tidy CBR600F, don’t see many in this colour

    We did the usual run along the Bewdley by passes and through Cleobury Mortimer before deciding to stop at Clee Hill for a cuppa. We had done a gruelling 17 miles already you know… We were greeted by the slightly surreal sight of Scooby Doo, a huge Chicken, a bear and a tooth fairy with a beard smoking a tab surrounding a custom trike. I was so distracted that even managed to miss a rather attractive young lady in 6th form uniform draped on a wall! I did have a natter with her later however! We had bumped into a charity run supporting the NABD (https://www.nabd.org.uk/) and Owestry hospital. So we coughed up a couple quid each to this highly worhty cause…hope the run went well folks!

    We left the cartoon collection behind and had a great clear run along the B46364, the cracking road that runs from the outskirts of Ludlow to near Bridgnorth. The FZ was going Ok, but I think some of the 70 horses the old aircooled lump should produce have wandered off over the years! Ses and Thumper seemed to be enjoying themselves.

    We rolled into Quatt, the placed was packed to bursting point again, and enjoyed another cuppa and something to eat. Had a wonder about the bikes and this rather tasty GSXR caught my eye…

    Rounded off a great, if brief, ride with a quick dash back to Kiddy.

    Cheers to Thumper and Ses310 for keeping me company!

    Happy Days are here again – good company, and a fine ride. Hundreds of bikes at Quatt – variation worthy of a bike show – brilliant!
    The Duke 750 sport was rolled out into the sunlight again. The sould of the performance pipes really is awesome at playtime! The hamdleing is propably the best I have ever owned, and with a professionally converted twin disc Brembo converstion at the front it can stop with great power, and control. IT really is like a little track bike – good fun.
    After the twisties, the breakfast was well worth looking forward to aswell,
    Thanks chaps!

    Be good to get a longer run in next time, perhaps Crossgates. TT07 and his crew are out most Sundays, we could hook up with them perhaps

    Welcome to TBF ses310. You’ve met up with Radar and Thumper so hows about introducing yourself to the other forum members? Maybe a little insight into your biking history, thats usually a good starter. Radars probably mentioned, with yourself, and me, thats 3 of us from the same town (Kidder). I wonder are there any other members too shy to put posts on or introduce themselves from these parts? if so give it a go, its pretty painless you know, were a pretty friendly lot.
