So having put the winter wheels/tyres on the Donkey the other day it was time to get them dirty. First thing I noticed was how much more 'lively' the bike felt after riding all summer on Mitas E-07's but it it was fine after riding about an hour of tarmac. First stop was by the gatehouse of the Spye Park estate.......... a and onto Heddington Steps which doesn't have any steps anymore, it's been totally sanitised , you could drive your car up there nowadays ? and then rode a couple of trails around Devizes...... and then up onto Salisbury Plain via the Redhorn Hill vedette. When the army are playing war there would be a red flag flying here and a barrier across the trail but no live firing today so on we go........... There are plenty of warnings about not straying from the byway, if you're stupid enough to do so you really are playing russian roulette.... and down to the tank graveyard which is good place to stop and get the flask out for a coffee.........

As someone who has previously been 'escorted' off the Plain in the past and been buzzed by an Apache helicopter I'm taking no chances

You know that Shad = cheap chinese Givi knock off , right ?

I am going to visit Old Sarum tomorrow, I will take the scenic route across Salisbury Plain as there is no live firing tomorrow.......... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-firing-times/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-firing-times-october-2020

You know that you can buy waterproof trousers nowadays ?

Did you put same weight oil in Fred or slightly lighter ?

Great to see you Lyn ?

What do you call a sheep tied to a lamp post in Merthyr Tydfil.................... a leisure centre

Hi DesmoDog, I work in a Ducati race/service shop so I see lots of Duc's.

Here's something Yellow that I'm selling at the moment........ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-748-SP-original-Dust-Cover-by-Coprimoto/164411769777?hash=item2647b483b1:g:3NQAAOSw7qlfddxi

Has it got the engine with the twin plug head Pete ? My Dakar had that engine, I rode it to the Pyrenees then did a two-day rally there and rode it back home. Even with two days of trail-riding it did 71mpg. I'm surprised that your bike hasn't got wire spoked wheels.

Yep, saw it on the T7 forum, what a bummer

It's for a very good cause.

Blimey Fred, I hope that your wife recovers ok .

Took the Rally for it's first MOT this morning, passed with no advisories. Got feckin wet on the way there and back, thank god it's only one mile to the test station ? No beer this evening as I'm doing 'Sober for October' https://www.gosober.org.uk/?no_redirect=true

He's either counting cars or looking for Belgians

Good old 'Johnny Gerbil' , as he was known to us in Bristol TRF

What a fantastic location to enjoy a couple of drinks What a great photo and what a smoothie you are This guy is so obviously a mate of Pete, just look at his dress code ?

I did take the Yam even though I had my name down for the KTM

That's only cos you've got the guns

Wher Where's that old bugger with no teeth when you need him, oh shit he's in lockdown isn't he ?
