Hi everyone, i am back in grifter land with a vengeance!!    been on my first proper ride since before the winter!! managed to get both bikes in the car, and then me and the girlfriend went off to cleveleys (as we both booked the day off!) the weather was superb, hot and sunny... we headed up the prom towards rossal beach then swung around an headed towards blackpool (not before parking the bikes up for a pic with the stranded RIVERDANCE FERRY in the background SEE 2ND PIC) where we both stopped and had a well earned rest and a ice lolly and a cold drink at a cafe, then back to the car, was great to be back on the bike again and the girlfriend enjoyed it too!    the first of many trips out hopefully, anyway, heres the pics. Hope you enjoy! cheers, gaz and laura.

As usual great pics Gaz  

Top pictures gaz.
This warm weather is brill.

Thanks 1977grifter and midlife glad you enjoyed them as much as me and laura enjoyed taking them    and yes the warm weather is indeed brill    may long it continue!! should be out again on the bikes soon as lauras bottom is feeling a little less saddle sore!!        and of course i will be taking pictures (but not of lauras bottom!! she will batter me for sayin that   ) cheers gents.  

Great picture's Gaz.  I was up near Blackpool on Monday, working in St Annes. The weather was fab.

It looks like there's an extremely small pensioner sat on your red MK1 in the second to last picture. .

I feel a Blackpool meet and ride coming up soon.  

Nice one gaz, good to see the Grifters getting out in the sun. Looks like the missus has taken to them well too.

Thanks supergrip, so you was only down the road from me then? shame, you could have brought you grifter along!!    yes the weather was fantastic! i managed to prise the old chap off the handlebars (oooerr missus!) and threw him into the sea! (only kiddin! ) I would love a blackpool ride mate, just give us the nod i will be there!    Cheers HRZ, it was really great to have cleaned and oiled both bikes up and to get out there on them, really enjoyed it!! yes indeed, the missus loves the bikes, i have claimed my MK2 back off her though!! i think she suits the MK1 better anyway!    cheers.

good to see more adults on the grifters,i always feel like people are going ho look at that old guy on a kids bike,,,,wish the detractors could see that there are lots of like minded adults on these bikes,good work

Thanks bud,   i totally agree with you, people hardly take notice of us on the bikes, apart from the ones that know what we are riding! luckily there are so many smaller folding bikes being ridden along proms etc, that the grifters do not look out of place. Even if anybody did think anything along those lines i would say "sod em!" lol! i enjoy them, and thats all what matters!!! cheers!!
