I ride motorbikes and cycle a lot. Retired & squeezing the pips out of life. Growing old is inevitable growing up is optional.

I just love BSAs. As a kid in the 50s Dad had a BSA A7 500 twin with sidecar which was our family transport. It never let us down. 65 years on & my love of BSAs is just as strong. Here are my 3, a 1970 A65 650cc Thunderbolt twin, 1955 B31 350cc single and a 1956 C12 250cc single.

@OrbitTandems @CrackpotClarky We're definitely back on the @Cyfac #tandem again. 58 miles, average speed 17.1mph. Get in! Ok, not much climb for us only 1500ft but felt so good. #boom

@CrackpotClarky @OrbitTandems 1st ride on the @Cyfac #tandem for ages, lumpy 40 miles, av speed 15.4mph. Despite being run off the road twice in 1st 20 miles, a great ride. Getting back into it. I wish the #police would concentrate more on road users instead of parked cars! 馃槈馃憤

Same in North Yorkshire. Have you noticed how brilliant the colours are? Must be all that fresh Scandanavian air
