No one is tight as you Mick  ;)
I don't know about that, you havn't met my brother!  ::) Also, there was a belief around the motorsport world that Steve Parish's wallet couldn't open!  ;D
I brake for animals!

Lovely afternoon out on Kitty, a bit nippy but lovely sunshine. Almost got knocked off the bike by a Kamakazi Pheasant, I tried to avoid it but it hit me on the upper part of my leg, it's bloody sore (my leg and the Pheasant I expect 🤣🤣🤣)

Julie, for the first time in years, I've had three close encounters with birds of prey in as many weeks!

Living on the edge of Thetford Forest, I'm always on the lookout for wildlife, particularly in the early morning. However, on each occasion the birds have dived down on me out of hedgerows and, at the last minute as I ducked changed course and flown over my head. My wife thinks that it might be due to the fluorescent vest that I wear attracting their attention, though I've worn it for a few years now without incident.

Almost at the end of March

After a fun run on the 200,

Time for the others to have the motors run and the tyres scrubbed

Very enjoyable
BTW,A range of the Black mountains in the background

About 18miles away

I will make it to Lincolnshire one day.
I went to work on the Guzzi Friday.62 miles each way rain,filtering through traffic and deep flooding on the way back.
My gear is still dripping and my backs on fire but sod it I'm doing it again Tuesday. Loved every second.

Spent today cleaning the mud and oil of the bike and making up a new rocker cover gasket, glueing plastic panels together and finding a crack in the exhaust Y section.
So all in all a good day for the Guzzi.  ;D

Sounds like a great ride John. We went out on Noddy and Millie today. Beautiful sunshine and blue sky but, this photo was taken at Mablethorpe (breakfast break 😊) and the wind coming off of The Wash was bloody chilly. Nonetheless, it was a great few hours out. Bloody luverly 😁😁😁😁
