Re: Four old Fogeys "End to End"
Day 5
Carlisle to Windermere
We dragged our way up Kirkstone Pass and pulled in for a well earned rest.
.....Within minutes the Pass was so steep we literally had to slam the cubs down into first gear. Unfortunately the flying fox ( now known as Evil Kirk Knievel ) in the middle of this manoeuvre, pointed his front wheel (aka a wheelie) at approximately 45° to the heavens, to the astonishment of oncoming motorists and proceeded to break the welsh record for one wheel traction in Cumbria! Over the intercom, rear gunner billyfix pleaded to stop as the tears of laughter running down his face and his stomach contortions were making riding impossible.
