Motorcycle riding, book loving, banjo picking secular humanist also odd bagpipes and odd surf craft. Australian. Likes cake.
Just back from a solo trip on the new bike to Wales. It was a very good 690 miles all up, including lunch near a pair of old Magnox reactors, and a loop of Snowdon. Cold and wet on the way up, just cold on the way home.

A few pics from the club rideout on the weekend. Weather was kind, great turnout for a small branch, and a great exploration of places I didn't know. No pics, but the village of Ashton in the Teign Valley was very bucolic. New bike going well.

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism
Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

Near the end of evening ride after work. Mesh jacket works great. Had a treat while my oil settled, so I check it, which was fine.

About 140 or 150 miles ride today from the South Devon Coast to the north coast of Cornwall near Port Isaac. 5 of us on the ride, oldest bike 50 plus years, youngest is mine...1 week old. 😎 We had wind, sun, rain, hail and mud, and tiny tiny south West roads. Nice lunch while the tempest raged

Reform has 4 MPs, including the 15 stone bag of pork scratchings Anderson and the bonkers Runcorn woman.
The Lib Dems have 74 MPs and could easily form a credible Cabinet.
Guess who the hackery think will form the next government?

The yellow is nice....the Gilera is a very rare 500 Saturno which weighs very little, is narrow, and a focused riding position. Great to have as a second bike....Paul has about 5 so that's fine!

Just back from what may be my last trip on the Breva. 1492 miles, 1 night Peak District, 4 nights in Moffat, 2 nights near Ambleside, and a final night near Brecon. Pretty tired. Cannot recommend the Buccleuch Arms in Moffat highly enough for motorcycle touring. Here are some pics
