    17:55 and that's one reason why I don't as a rule park between cars on the road side, especially when there is a large gap as there was when you arrived, because that only encourages someone else to park in the space, sadly these days parking space is at a premium, but drivers will try to squeeze in to whatever space is available, and not really pay much heed to motorcycles 😮

    Good morning Nick. Yes those jeans have certainly served you well. Lovely ride through your Yorkshire countryside. Many thanks. I think we're now into a bit of more settled weather. I haven't worn jeans since I was 20 and Hood don't make port coloured corduroy riding trousers 🤣🤣 so I wear an Oxford Advance outfit which suits (😂) me nicely. My favourite scone and coffee stop is closed Monday and Tuesday - I know that now 🤣 Pleased you found somewhere in Burnsall ☕☕

    Another great ride Nick, you must have some sort of weather control system on that bike, every time you're out riding it seems to be sunny! I'm amazed one car managed to get three others to reverse, either the driver had no idea how to reverse themselves or they considered being two feet close to the crest gave them the right to be ignorant, a place to avoid on bank holidays I think! At least I didn't chuck my tea everywhere when the KTM went past this time, I got a right fright when I watched James's video 😂

    Having just downsized to a Classic 350 from a Tiger 1200. Also haveca BSA Gold Star 650. I love the feel and character of these dmaller bikes for my riding. At 65, I am not into high speeds or heavy bikes anymore. The roads are in poor condition and speed limits are dropping everywhere, it seems. Chilling out and enjoying the journey is my mantra now. Ride safe.

    Good morning Nick. Yes I absolutely agree about the RE 350s - not actually ridden a Classic but both my Meteor and now Hunter are similar for the reasons you state. I have a friend in New Zealand who rides her Hunter very long distances on fast highways and just loves it though I think she may be thinking of trying something like the Shotgun. That would be too heavy for me and for the sort of riding I now enjoy, rather like your Yorkshire Dales rides my 350 is just perfect. Cheers, Nick.
