A Triumph Bonneville T120 and the Cat & Fiddle.
There are lots of great roads in the Peak District, I’m trying to ride them all. The A537, or the Cat & Fiddle as it’s locally known, takes its name from the pub/restaurant at the very top of the pass. It’s been a biker and motor mecca for as long as I can remember, even the average speed cameras haven’t done much to reduce the number of petrolheads making the run from Macclesfield to Buxton on a sunny day, although at a slower pace these days.
It’s huge fun. I remember blasting my first car around these roads years ago, I had thought an original mini might be the perfect weapon for such roads, that was until I rode it on my T120. It’s absolute bliss. Go early in the morning to avoid the traffic and the recently resurfaced road might be one of the best in the UK. It’s a short lived experience though, you can ride through the whole route in about twenty minutes, but there’s nothing to stop you from turning around and doing it all again, it’s worth two, or ten rides at least.
And it’s at its absolute best if you take on the road on a modern classic motorcycle like a Bonneville.
