smilinjack 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Kirkby Lonsdale is a smashing little place. I'm thinking of a night or two there to walk some of the hills & dales. I'd like to go and see High Cup & Ingleborough. Unlikely to make the ride however as it looks like it may clash with my proposed trip to Spain to fetch my VFR back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tried the Blackbird and they felt okay for a brief sit on. Rode the ZX down to Leicester last year, all in one go and felt fine when I got off. So for me, the ZX stays, unless I can find a ZZR1400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
