@ moorey and adespin thanks for the heads up   I will be there again this year any excuse for a ride out and visit BABS the same time

Pendine is a great place to visit, my wife's best mate lives near there and we last went this spring. You can (sometimes) ride on the beach if you wash the salt off afterwards. However you won't see Babs I'm afraid, they were demolishing the museum - Wikipedia tells me they are going to build a new one, but not why and when.



In all the times I've been there I only saw Babs there once, as the museum was closed in the winter, and Babs often went off to shows and events in the summer. Ironically, the one time I did see it at Pendine, I saw it again two weeks later at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, going up the hill! The 27 litre aero engine was run on fast tickover up the course, it sounded like the apocalypse.

At Squires this aft. I was talking to the 650 Enfield rider and he had already had the rh side panel fall off when riding and knew of another 3 that had done the same. He had another seat made as the original was awful other than that he said he liked it. He had sold 2 Bullets to buy it so obviously liked Enfield's  Personally I preferred the 1924 flat tank Enfield.

The Enfield looks nice, I've yet to see one on the road. The CBX looks a bit special.

More than that, it's got pushbike type brake blocks operating on front rim as original kit it looks.  you can just see them between the fork stanchions.

Pushbike light on the handlebars as well. The carbide lamps did work though.

You are a brave man Mr Webley. Lincolnshire is about to be washed off of the map. It has been raining for 3 days/ nights now and at the moment, it is raining so hard, I cant even see to the end of the garden 😪😪😪

The local bike club organised a rideout to commemorate Malcolm Uphill's TT win 50 years ago.  We started at the Wetherspoon pub (the Malcolm Uphill) and did a 120 mile blatt through some real claggy weather with a few stop offs.  Despite the rain it was good to get out, riding with mates.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Caerphilly ➡ Abergavenny bus station ➡ Llandovery ➡ Storey Arms ➡Home. You could have done the Abergavenny ➡ Llandovery bit.

A good turnout by the look of it, fantastic roads around there. Shame about the Trumpet spoiling the party, it's a nice looking bike.
