Ready to tour.

Topbox is on, adjustable screen brackets are on and ready for a northern England road trip next month, fingers crossed for decent weather. Has anyone ridden through the Hardknott pass in the Lakes district??

Yes I have on my old GS 5 years ago and on a CB750F2 back in the day

It’s challenging but well worth it


A nice ride doing 4 passes
Is start at Alston down Hartside Pass , then over to Kirkstone Pass down to Ambleside then do Wynose Pass then onto Hardinot Pass

A good work out and some lovely scenery

Enjoy and stay safe

I did Honister pass a few years ago, I think almost every road in the lake district is worth riding!

Is that the one up to the Slate mine ?

Great touring bike really, sits rock solid on the motorway, the extra height screen brackets giving great wind protection (only 2 bugs hit my visor), get used to the engine characteristics (keep it about 4000rpm) and it did 60+mpg, comfortable too. One thing I have noticed- every now and then it stutters slightly when starting, did check battery connections but found nothing wrong.

Great roads in Lake District, covered them many times but yet to take the CR up there. Done all the passes, and the Hardknott is certainly a challenge.
