Woohoo got my TT2000 goodies in the post including the gold TT10 badge for completing the event for the 10th time. 🎉. Can't believe I've done 10 of these, doesn't time fly when your having fun:-)
Further to the last post. This is a variation of something that my mate Sean and I have had on several of our bikes. You can just about see it on this old photo of one of his:

Inspired by @bayport_moto s post I thought I'd share this.

The first Spyder had a warning card above the speedo which it would prompt you to pull out and read every time you turned on the ignition, I assume this was to meet some weird safety law in some country or other.

I modified mine and would leave it out when parked up

My parents sent me a photo and I noticed in the background part of their noticeboard including some of my early bikes from back when I lived in the UK. I'm guessing they must have been taken when I visited them as I wasn't into taking photos back then.

Left to right: The front of a Honda CB400-4, Suzuki Intruder 800, Royal Enfield 350 Bullet, Honda CB550-4. There's a few missing (more Honda's and a Jawa) so I'll have to ask if they have more photos. #motorbikes

As you can see things didn't quite go to plan this TT2000, fortunately help was at hand (well in field) and so was able to get back on the road and finish the event.

Lots of east coast this time with just one foray to the west coast clocking up 2788km's in total.

The first year I did the TT2000 there were 36 riders, 11 years later and its got a bit bigger...

Over the xmas got my TT2000 route & all mystery checkpoints worked out. Mostly east coast this year which should mean less chance of rain as it's been a wet summer so far. Minimal mountain riding which is a shame, but have included as much twisty roads as possible and even some gravel.

The subject this year "photo of bike at a community halls with sign saying where" seemed simple enough, but when I did a few test rides it was surprising how many halls don't have have signs. #motorbike

If only it was a simple to do same to the entire internet:

Why I ride.

That zen state where it's just you, the bike and the road. The ever changing landscape a kaleidoscope of light, weather, smells, sensations. A ribbon of opportunities, experiences, and peace. Nothing compares.
