Default My trip to Cornwall...

For those of you that don't know, Cornwall is in the southwest of England has some beautiful beaches and generally a great place to ride (lots of twisty but small roads), did 4 days and about 2K miles on my '08 Street Bob, enjoy the pics I had a great time!

Nice pics and area. I went there when I was a kid for a few days.

Good use of the Bob, though I did not know that there were 2,000 miles in England! j/k!!!

Well, you can ride from one end of this island to the other and back in less than 2000 miles but that's not as much fun as hooning round the moors a few times!

Got a run down to Newquay in September so looking forward to getting down there myself, lovely part of the country.

Great pasties too!

We have one week of sun a year, I was lucky enough to book my trip for that week!

It 400 miles just to get to lands end from where I live so quite easy to put the miles on.

I road around 2 different moors, some of the roads got so small that the bushes either side were scraping my mirrors! FUN!

I also scrapped the hell out of my pipes while getting a bit excited on corners!

Cornwall is gorgeous (with the right weather). I went there by car a few years back and I'm looking forward to riding there.

Very envious...

Awesome! I’m becoming more and more familiar with the Southwest of the UK – Devon in particular; first Joss Stone and now Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I actually thought Cornwall was a town where the Cornish pastries came from, but I see that it is a ‘county?’ like Devon? Just further Southwest…. I may have known that before and forgot.
Cool pics! Looks like you had a blast….. 2k miles in 4 days is some riding for sure!

I was at Stonehenge last weekend; when I was there, I was thinking how nice it would be to have made the trip on the bike. Well done.
