Sunset over the moors

I'd been for a short walk round Hutton-le-Hole where we used to live, though it was rather curtailed by meeting someone I went to school with and a very lot of midges as wind dropped out near Sunset.
They've resurfaced a good part of the Blakey road and made a decent job - though it won't last long as there are constant [lack of] drainage issues.

The smooth road and orange sunset made for a somewhat surreal experience.
It struck me The Lion Inn almost passes for the Titty Twisters vampire lair in Dusk till Dawn ... (!)

Whitby summer evening

Whitby is so heavily photographed you almost feel guilty posting photos as it's so hard to avoid cliché scenes.

Going late in the day gave different light if nothing else and the view from West Cliff is always rather nice.

New bike

I decided to part-ex my nine year old BT1100 for a smaller and lighter XSR700.
This is a traditional styled but very modern bike base on the MT-07.
Surprisingly brisk acceleration and very sweet handling and gear shifts.

Anyway this is the second little run with it so still getting used to it and noting differences compared to other bikes.
