    OK so KK and myself have decided we are going to take a few days out of the Rat Race! and run the Bikes (alas not the Twins,mine isn’t done yet!) So its the ZRX for KK and the CB1000 for me. Bikes have all been kitted up with hard luggage, or suit cases as my mate calls them!

    So we are set for a 4 or 5 day break in Cornwall, we will be staying on the coast somewhere near Bude or Widemouth?

    The plan is to do daily ride outs to different places.

    So anybody been down these parts and know of any good roads or must visit places?

    Only planned one ride out so far, and that will be Newquay, St Ives, Lands End, Penzance, Lizard Point (most southern part of the main land.)and then back to our base.

    So help us out with ideas of what to do, any help would be greatly received

    photo of the Bikes all prepped!

    All the best lads, wish i was going maybe another time. There are some good coast roads around the Padstow area from what i can remember. But that was 25 yrs ago.

    Sorry Dougty!

    He was on fire he lead the way for most of it!

    Sorry for the amount of time it has taken for photos.

    I have made a very Bad series of videos of the trip. But its not bad for a 1st attempt with the equipment we had.
    Please forgive the bad Sound on my self recordings!
    its best if you use headphones to watch them.

    Heres the 1st Video
