Stonking, that's the only word to describe today, great roads, perfect weather.

Fuelled up, all checks done and waiting for the boys.

10.30 set of is the plan Helmsley chip shop the destination.

The Todster showing off his Rack to Steve :-)

A quick stop for a coffee on the way, and the customary pose.

"I'll get these they're only a quid a cup!"

As freddie would say "Its a hard life".

The toilets at The White Swan in Pickering, I felt like I should have taken my boots off before going in .

Make yerselves at home lads, and don't forget to pay this time.

"Millie", one of the lovely and courteous people serving us today.

Toddy being all British, tea, milk and two !

Beautiful place, The White Swan.

He's like an old dog, has to leave his mark everywhere.

Brokeback Bikers !

:-)

Came across a proper traffic W**nker (warden) with an atitude in Helmsley, the locals were all lovely, obviously not happy in his "job", get a real one mate lol.

Told you it was open, I had done m research and these two muppets doubted me lol.

Breathe in Steve.

I think someone mentioned looking up to look thinner, as if Toddy needs to, skinny sod.

Steve can't go anywhere without his handbag (or purse depending what day it is), full of perfume and lippy !

Full of fun, these two are lol

Always makes an effort, our Steve, will not got out unless he is perfectly presented !

Hadn't seen Steve's mum and dad, Mr and Mrs Wells, Patti and Bryan for ages , so it was lovely to see them both.

And after splitting with Toddy so he could go to rehearsals, and picking Linda up, it was onto the Woods, and "SatNav" Charlie got us straight there lol.

Good turn out again..........this was the overflow car park AND Lancaster Bomber night was on @ East Kirkby !

Some great bikes on show again !

Another fine Suzuki example.

Ducati's are just beautiful.

"Andy" (If I recall correctly) from Scunthorpe, who we had previously stopped to help on the roadside, but he was ok it was just a lose side panel, something to do with a gromet or such thing :-) Nice chap.

See what I mean, they are just beautiful !

Don't tell anyone or let this go any further................but I thought this Harley was a cracking bike, and the chap riding it has only had it for two weeks and is in love already !

Triumph, say no more !

A rare beauty.

One of the best six packs you will ever see.

Absolutely love this paint job !

OH DEAR.......................WHAT A SHAME...........NEVER MIND !

And this is a nice young lad called Lewis on a beautiful fizzer, who has also got a 125 at home and another he is "working" on, there is hope for the future !

Both babies in the same place for the first time in ages , big thanks to Steve Wells for looking after Suzy, and Tilly Charles for looking after April and making me fat lol

Keyring for donating to "AIR AMBULANCE", the only charity I give to.

So, I park both my bikes up for the night, and my sister gives me this ! I'm supposed to be on a diet to lose a couple of stone so I can get into my leather gear, and I get a doorstop of delicious choccy cake !!!

Altogether an absolutely brilliant day with friends. We had a grumpy traffic warden, a young woman who tried her best to run me off the road, loads of tractors, harvesters etc on the road, never a problem you are doing a great job ! Generally the vast majority of drivers very courteous, loads of bikers everywhere, amazing what a bit of good weather does to us Brits lol. And most of all fish n chips and great weather, what more can you ask for :-)
