First run of the year

Took the opportunity of some decent weather to take Skruffy Kat for a run out and to check up on Fred61.

Went a roundabout way keeping East of the “Dereham Triangle” and found this place...

That's a new one on me! Aunt lives at Bawdeswell so might have to visit via that shortcut!

Also out for the first time yesterday, but not on a Kat, like to break myself in gently :lol: ...

i occasionally take sues 125 out for what we know as an italian service. basically i took it down the local dual carriageway and paste it to the redline in every gear. 55mph flat out at the start, second lap and its doing 72mph, sue pootles round on it everywhere and it does them no good at all. thrashing it clears its throat. next day, she came home from work and said 'its running brilliantly now, faster than before and it ticks over perfectly.' thrashing them everywhere makes them run better afterwards. hence the name 'italian service.
