    What a small world!! We moved 18 months ago from Forest Town, up on the Heatherley bit. We're in a village 6 miles outside Bakewell, just far enough away for when the events are on ;) And I love Matlock Bath for the bikes! Bath is such a lovely place, especially when it's sunny :)

        You're right about the pleasure it brings, my family have always said the same. :)

        No, I didn't really have time to learn to ride, I married and had my children when fairly young. I have ridden pillion though, the last time I was seven months pregnant with my eldest, a good few years ago now, no wonder she was born two weeks early! :heehee: Six members of my family are bikers and my father used to ride as well. :)

            :wow: I can see you look after it Father T! My son hasn't got a bike at the moment but it would be spotless like yours. If anyone put so much as a finger print on the tank he'd go berserk! :heehee:

              @Jenny namaste .......that, as my son would say.... 'is a nice looking piece of kit'! :)

              I'll not take up any more space here but anyone who is interested I'll start a thread in 'Members Gallery' as there are a few pics I'd like to add. :)

              T.T. is just three weeks away tomorrow! :yes:

              Edit: I'm having problems loading pictures again so I'll start the thread sometime over the weekend.
