PCX 125 in the Peak District

This was taken last summer but I've only just registered and joined the PCX forum. Bought mine last January after getting fed up with the unreliable trains and trams between my home and work. Its a fab machine and my first jump into the world of 2 wheels. Apart from one snowy day after only a month of riding when I took the car (safety first...) I've used it on the commute every day since. Travelling to work in the cold and wet NW England at all times of the day and night and its been 100% reliable and fun.. The chance of me going back to 4 wheels is zero...

This particular day I did about 100 miles from Macclesfield - Bakewell - Buxton - Macclesfield including the "Cat & Fiddle" route between Buxton and Macclesfield. One of the best roads in the UK apparently and only 10 minutes from my house.. This pic was taken just outside Bakewell in the Peak District, a place called Monsal Head. Well worth the trip out there!

Did you use a filter on the camera or do you use editing software. They are great photos.

Thanks both, it was taken on the iphone originally and 'instagrammed' (a fab photo app..) Although since then I've fallen out with smartphones and gone back to a brick and a proper camera! Hopefully more pics to come..

Just curious, but what is that big 'L' on the front of your bike? It kind of takes away from the beauty of the bike.
