First ride 2013
Seeing as it was the first decent day with a bit of blue sky and the sun putting in an appearance I thought a little ride through Weardale was a good idea.

The stepping stones at Stanhope ford were well and truly under water.
It was a bit cold on the hilltops and my gloves weren't really up to the job, so it was hand warmer time on the engine at one point.
It was worth the effort getting out there though.

Re: First ride 2013
Hi Joe,
nice pics!
But, what about heatings? Ok, it's only for old man!
I lost a friend on a trip in January some years ago, suddenly he was 'gone' out of the back. It was dark.
I drove slow (trucks turned over), I stopped on next exit. Waiting, waiting, ....
Suddenly I noticed a Harley: Bernd!
I stopped him at next exit: My hands where so cold!!!!
At this time Dirty don't wear heatings, but I had very good clothes.
Back home at 10 pm I saw: -8°
But don't forget, other the day sunshine all over the sky! Great!!
Cheers - Rolf

remember June 2007! It was warm and only some showers!
We all enjoyed it! Especially Uwe with his GS, driving into deep water on the road!

Re: First ride 2013
Hi there,

Best regards
