No need for therapy thanks, I have a Guzzi. Lunch on Saturday at Llanidloes. Bought some books. Had coffee. Talked Border music with a harpist, gave her a list of tunes.

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.

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

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
