Sounds like you've never heard of Train Splitter or similar websites. You can get one way journeys for a fraction of the asking price and I don't mean a bit of discount either . I think I got about 70% off when I went to collect my bike from Portsmouth . You might have to change train more frequently but if one train is late they will honour the rest of the journey .

You would need to know me better [mention]fastbob[/mention] to know that trains and me don't get along well 😁

The flight was a joy, 1:30 he after taking off was at city airport, 10min taxi and was in the hotel 10min walk away from the bike. 😉

Trains are not only more expensive but also takes forever even if you're lucky in not wasting time waiting. For the next one.

Adding taxi to airport, flight and 2nd taxi I spent less than 2 train tickets, happy bunny 😊 and took me a lot less.

Now having lunch in Doncaster 🙂

Well.

Wetherby services.

After rain in and around Selby then waze went mental and decided that would be great to explore the city and surrounding areas. Spent over half an hour to get back to the proper road.

No issues with the bike 😁😁

Only issue is a wet bum 🙄🙄

Hello again everyone 🙂


Berwick, what I think will be the last stop before home. Yyeeyy 😁😁


150ish miles to the tank just before the light comes up.

Speed mostly over 60, trying to keep between 65 and 70.

Don't trust the tyres to go anything over that but an idiot made me go to 85. 😡😡😡🤬

No sweat for the bike. I think she really liked it 😁😉

Will make. Last post as soon I get home. 👍

And this concludes the adventure 😁


Home, freaking wet but other than that was a great day out.

Bike asleep in the garage and I'll have nice sleeping night.


Thank you all for the support and motivation, [mention]Ian Frog[/mention] and all the others we will meet another day 🙂


Be safe you all.
