Yorkshire Dales

I had a good day yesterday, Pete, Jim and I went out for a ride, all on older machines, all 500cc single cylinders. (AJS model18, Vincent Comet and a BSA ZB33) We rode via a diverse route taking in Grassington, Kettlewell and then over the moors to Middleham, then on to the top of the Yorkshire Dales, close to a place called Muker.
We then returned via Buttertubs pass (don't you just love that name) Hawes, Settle and Home. None of the bikes missed a beat and I think mine is the youngest at 56 Years old. Well over 100 miles travelled, at times at quite a jaunty pace.
In the evening we went to a 40th birthday party. Happy Birthday Oggy!
Somebody commented that I don't look 40!!! The wife said "No, but he bloody did when he was!"
