Sorry no photos but I had quite an interesting ride into central London. On the Victoria Embankment I was just in the right place to tag on behind King Charles and his motorcade, great for getting through the traffic, that lasted about a mile. I got to Parliament square where there was a whole gaggle of protest marches going on, partly because of the Chancellors spring statement. That garlic f*rting  Steve Bray was there as usual with his daft top hat and die hard followers. We know each other , boy he HATES me  ;D and with the static traffic we had plenty of time to trade insults! ;D

Nice one George 👍. That guy is so annoying, a bloke full of his own self importance just like the politicians he hates.

A local ride out today to RSPB Frampton Marsh. Blimey, the easterly wind was bloody freezing blowing off of The Wash. Nice coffee though 😁😁😁

Last Saturday I was at the Dundee Easter Egg Run. A good turnout raised a lot of money and plenty of choccy eggs for the kids in hospital.

Sure beats the Christmas toy run in terms of warmth and weather!
The 400/4 is looking very cool Gareth 8)

Europe has had some glorious weather the past few days. It was 29.3c in London today, ice cream weather 8)
The 750 looks fantastic in the sunshine, the ferry must be a great way to travel between islands knowing you can ride off into the sunshine.
Does your paint colour attract bees and green fly as my yellow 400/4 does?

Never noticed bees and green fly attracted to the yellow paintwork but oilseed rape fly splatter seems to blend in well.
Tomorrow the rain starts again for a few days, but at least the salt's gone now.

When I was in the trade yellow cars in the showroom always attracted flies who would leave their small circular  deposit on the paintwork. Ochre was the worst colour, we called it the Dandelion effect.  Same when wearing  a Yellow shirt if you are in the Countryside.
