I know a Brit who's over there at the moment in his motorhome, he's stuck over there as he can't get a ferry back. He texted me, I think he was looking for some sympathy. He got fuck all sympathy from me, it's wankers like him that are spreading this shit about. You have my permission to slash his tyres if you spot him

There are some good videos of Galaxie's racing from Goodwood ?

I love the sound of those two strokes, some of the street furniture looks a bit intimidating

Well that statement has just made you look like a twat

The gravel roads on the Plain would be perfect for your GS, firing and bombing permitting

My sandwich was definitely squashed but strangely it seemed to taste better .

The weather was still holding out for the moment so I decided to head north and then west to head around the perimeter path . I had real trouble finding my way in until I relised that a housing estate had been built on the byway Thanks for putting that sign up mate but I think you'd have trouble seeing that from the road I rattled along up the path, a lot of the top surface had been worn away by all the rain we've had and there were some big holes here and there to keep you on your toes. On a smaller bike I would be on the left hand track but today I was sticking firmly on the right side as the wet chalk, mud and some of those puddles would not have been a good idea ......... The o/e tyres on the T700 are fine on the gravel but had I attempted to ride the other track on them I would definitely have ended up on my arse This was a handy stop, I was dying to go so I stopped for a while. You can see one of the mock villages in the background that the army boys like to play in................. Then the heavens opened and it's bit exposed up there so I headed to my exit as quick as I could.......... What do you do if it's chucking it down and you want to stop somewhere to eat your sandwiches in the dry ? You find a nice uninhabited bus shelter It rained all the way back home but my gear kept me dry inside and it's good to ride in the wet from time to time and it improves your riding skills ?

I had a free day today so I decided to take a ride down to the Stonehenge byways as English heritage is threatening to close them again. The weather was decent when I set off but the roads were still soaking from last night so I took it steady on some of the back roads. Once I got down to Tilshead I turned left to get onto the byway that runs around the back of Westdown Camp , everything was open on Salisbury Plain as there is no live firing for the next couple of weeks. I use this site to check the status before visiting....... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-firing-times You can see Westdown Camp in the background here................ the byways on the Plain are well marked, this is how it should be done I dropped off the byway by the Great Bustard Inn and rode down to Airman's Corner. From there I took the A303 to get to the Stonehenge byways and sure enough the whole stretch of the A303 had bollards all the way along and the gates were shut across the byways. No photos I'm afraid as it was impossible to stop. At this point there was a lot of muttering inside my helmet but I set off for the Woodhenge turning to see if I could get in that way....... That'll be a NO then ? I carried on down to Larkhill and got the same result........... On the post here there was a copy of the TRO (traffic regulation order) so I took a while to read it. It seems that the byways (and some roads) were shut for the winter solstice and to be fair I had seen quite a lot of 'travellers' vehicles parked up nearby. I think the authorities were worried that some might use the solstice as an excuse to park up on the byways and then stay there. But I shall definitely keeping an eye on the situation as I have a feeling that English heritage will use any excuse to get their way and close them permanently.

Brilliant and that weather looks stunning as well

I'm stuck on this one at the moment, I'll let you know.

I voted for Bruce, anyone who gives up a bike for free to someone he's never met before is pretty cool in my book. If I hadn't gone for Bruce then Michelle would have got my vote for being a really cool crazy person.

You're not from round 'ere are you

I'm in total chaos, I've run out of wet wipes ?

It's amazing how this film was such a flop considering how succesful their tv series were.

Liar liar pants on fire ?

At this moment I have to state that I have zero photos from the cockpit as I haven't ridden a bike for over 8 days ?

Sorry, but serves you right for buying one of LR's finest. Get yourself to autorader and buy yourself a Land Cruiser .

I am pissed Fred and so I am planning a ride on Tuesday. It will probably entail riding around my block about 30 times but hey ho, it's a ride
-
Excellent, a ride on your own and not causing any stress to anyone else is to be commended ?

I thought that might drag you out, you want to give up them buses, you're getting addicted
