Ooops - what a prize muppet. Tried to squeeze past my car on the drive, pannier bumped the car and over it went down the dip - just a scuffed pannier and hand guard and a metal bit pinged off the foot peg - just the embarrassment factor no injuries
Oh my word just realised how big the Twitter bike ๐ family is out there. Thank you to you all for the congrats and the advice. Look forward to meeting you at some stage on my 2022 travels
Thatโs it : booked ๐คฉ๐ฑ my first solo motorcycle adventure - off to North Wales this weekend and I booked a gorgeous quirky little place to stay. Need to work out where to visit. Horseshoe Pass & Ponderosa is on the list ๐ฅ๐๏ธ
Anyone buying a new bike in the New Year, if so what have you got your eye on?(need more bike related content in my feed ๐) I'm looking at this ๐
Finally got to have a little go this morning - you could probably see my grin from space ๐คฃ yes ๐ I at least put a lid and gloves on. Cannot wait to take it out on the road ๐ฅ
I'm absolutely heartbroken and been in floods of tears (the fury will come later) that somebody has broken into my garage and stolen my stuff ... thank god my bike wasn't in there at the time. I'll be handing the garage back. Yes all reported to the police.
A motorcyclist would have seen it well in advance, slowed down and manoeuvred out of the way. Can you imagine if bikers reacted like that. The guy does this purely to boost his over inflated ego on social media & will probably get himself killed through his reckless actions ๐คฌ
being delivered today ๐คฉ so Iโve finally after 3 days of lounging in my pjs (have that shocking cold and cough) I got my bike gear ready for after work
#beyondexcited
First ride and what a pleasure to ride for my first bigger bike after passing my test last week and first time riding in the dark too (had a buddy with me). Didnโt go mad just took it easy ๐คฉ
Todayโs impromptu ride (photo not today) I donโt care what anyone says but the minute youโre on your bike itโs like the biggest peace ever - maybe thatโs just me?
Can't put this down and changed my mind too many times the last couple of days. My riding buddy arrives tomorrow for a couple of days so we can start planning a 2024 Euro Tour -
#Austria
#Germany
it could all change tomorrow ๐คฃ
I support/share posts from so many lady bikers/motorcyclists on all of my platforms but I find itโs not reciprocated (unsure why) - we should be supporting & promoting each other our causes/adventures
what did you do after a motorbike accident? Wasnโt the crash, it was the oh fuck when I was lying on the roundabout and a lorry passing inches from my body lying on the ground - so everything I have wanted to do Iโm doing now
โwhen we were youngโ ๐ my cheeky hilarious friend of 42 years & boyfriend in our teens passed away this afternoon. So glad our last messages were as sarky and funny as always - he hated the Army btw - said he โdidnโt join it to ride bloody horsesโ ๐
Fun time spending my birthday riding all day and at Sammy Millers and finally visited the ๐ง village of Burley. Seen some fabulous bikes today ๐ฅ truly amazing amazing place
๐ญ One whole year ago I quit smoking, not even a sneaky puff. Super proud of myself as having being a smoker since my teens some 40 years I kicked the habit for good
Bike gear 46 years ago ๐คฃ - 16 years old and my mum had just bought me a fz50 moped - leg warmers & trainers and a red leather jacket dear god Iโm cracking up this morning
#aheadofmytime
#legwarmers
Family medals WW1 (my great grandfatherโs Military Medal), WW2 (my grandfatherโs proud RAF), my dadโs (ex RMP) and my lil one (AGC) (obvs ONLY taking my one tomorrow) - yes know my dadโs are in the wrong order - still waiting for MRO to send his army records so I can sort
#RTTW
Liability finally admitted by the other side (๐๏ธ accident) as it should be, so hopefully not too long until I can finally put this horrible event behind me
#myfirstbigbike
- just the PI to sort and losses as I already have my new bike
What a beautiful planet we live on ๐ฅฐ these photos shared in our girly group last night by one of lasses who lives up in Aberdeenshire from her garden

It's a perfect blank canvass (checking if I can paint the door another colour) researching extra security locks and shelves etc - going to enjoy this work in progress
#funtimes
Much much needed & short route but I didn't miss the rain ๐ง๏ธ - lovely old dude stopped and asked if I was lost when I pulled up to Hatfield House ๐๐คฃ & said he'd take the photo for me
Thatโs my motorcycle accident finally closed. I cannot recommend highly enough
@whitedalton
who took over my case & itโs been such an effortless stress free experience. Note:
you do not have to use the legal reps assigned to you by your insurer
Our August biking ๐๏ธ trip cancelled due to a muppet writing off my bike (thankfully not me ๐) - so weโre having a long weekend looking at bikes, bike lids and clothing and of course an ๐ฆ at Cheddar. Cannot wait to pick up my brand new bike on the 29th. 1 week and a bit to go
First morning in months I've not woken up exhausted so if it doesn't snow (it doesn't look icy) I'm definitely going out for a spin, 5 weeks no riding is too long - waaaay too long

This gorgeous little rascal was dumped in a bin with his two brothers ๐คฌ. Now heโs healthy and the right weight to get his first vax, Iโm bringing him home later today ๐ป meet Benny (named from the Top Cat cartoon ๐คฃ) - and I said NO MORE CATS ๐คฃ
#softinthehead
It rained hard the entire ride ๐ฉ after a while it wasnโt an issue, came away feeling much more confident & can now counter steer & what a difference to corners, trusted my bike. I canโt recommend enough these
#BikeSafe
course especially if youโve had a knock in confidence
#ditzydevils
loved riding with these ladies today, mix of bikes from Harleys, Kawasakis, Triumphs - missing a couple of members today

Omg ๐คฉ ๐ put my name down for a garage last year (mine is blocked off after I built an extension 25 years ago) but just been offered one by our local council - just need to pick up the keys & sign the tenancy - it's funny what excites me these days ๐
