So , I pad fully charged, where was I.oh yes so Saltburn, a popular destination in these parts and proud to have the oldest Funicular in Britain.this one is water balanced and has only recently been restored to its former glory.

Fish and chips were compulsory followed by a stiff walk up the hill as the funicular closed at Five !
What followed was an amazing return ride across the North Yorkshire moors, near the end of that journey something never before known in motorcycling circles happened ………the sole Triumph ,in the company of Ducati’s. Broke down!
Andy drifted to a halt with fuel spraying over his right knee. Some investigation found the issue.The fuel line clip attaching the line to the tank had come adrift. Some panels were removed and after my failed attempt to re connect the two parts Pezz said the magic words and the bike fired back into life.
