Spotted a Yellow 1200S parked outside the cafe in Hawes yesterday morning, but didn't manage to spot the owner ........ anyone off this site?

I didn't have any calling cards otherwise I'd have left one on the bike.

It was about 10:30 in the morning, when I was fueling up with a bacon sarnie!

Just returned from an impromptu scoot round the Dales, Lake District and the bits between. The S was a hoot, even lugging panniers. Funny how bombing round the countryside reduces furry fastener angst.

Spotted a black R1200S parked up in a town somewhere en route from Swaledale to Ripon.

Also bumped into an S owner in the Donnington Services on the way back - anyone here?

You guys up north have some serious, serious biking roads. Must do it more often.

Black 1200s may have been mine.
Leyburn? Approx 2 ish?

Went on a jaunt from Skipton, to Harrogate, Ripon, Helmsley, Pickering, Whitby, Stokesley, Northallerton, Leyburn, Hawes, Devils Bridge, Settle etc.

Sounds about right. Well if you saw a grubby silver S with panniers following a blue VFR800 that was me.

(ps I was obviously only following the VFR 'cos he knew the way to Ripon, as we all know S's are faster than VFRs...)

Of course

Did you go via Masham to Ripon? Great road, if a bit poorly surfaced in places.

My favouite road in that whole area runs from Settle, to the Ribblehead viaduct, then to Hawes and accross to Leyburn. Wonderful.
