How very dare you , Wales is nothing to do with us

That sounds pretty good to me

Is this like a virtual race or something

Next I crossed over the border into Hampshire to ride some lovely lanes ............. A glorious old Hampshire sign post with the unclassified county road behind me .................. I swung back into Wiltshire to head for home and came across this old building . I have no idea what it is and couldn't make out the writing on the flag stone , there is what looks like a reservoir fenced off behind it but I have no idea what the purpose of the ornate building is/was ........................ I rode on down to another couple of byways and as I rode past a huge pig farm I had a feeling of deja-vu . Sure enough when I got to the bottom I remembered the trail , it's rut central and I didn't fancy riding along there .......... I managed to get out of the rut with a bit of effort and rode off piste to escape the rut hell On the way home I crossed the bridge that the Army built over the river Avon , I like riding over this bridge and hearing the clatter of the boards as you cross

I rode onto another byway that passes through a horse stud farm , there is plenty of money around here and they've groomed the way onto to the byway to make it look like you really shouldn't be there ......... The first two Long Barrows were almost non existent , hardly any evidence on the ground that there'd ever been anything there . Then I arrived at Tidcombe Long Barrow and managed to ride around the back so I could park nearby ......... There were glorious views down the valley , I love the old bowser here feeding the cattle trough with water ................ I set the bike down and had a walk around the barrow but it was a bit disappointing compared with others I have visited. It was obvious it had been plundered in the distant past as the central chamber no longer existed but it was still a peaceful place to walk around ............ a Red Kite was flying above trying to make out if I was a possible source of dinner ................ https://greyarro.ws/t/tidcombe-long-barrow-added-to-iconic-landscapes-and-ancient-sites-in-south-west/65588

Yesterday I went to look at some Long Barrows in Wiltshire but there was a bit of straying into Hampshire and Berkshire as well . Once I got onto some trails it was obvious that's there's still a lot of water about ...... I rode around the back of Devizes on a couple of trails and stopped for a piss here.............. I sensed something moving about in the field to the left and saw a bunch of deer grazing about 200 meters away ............ Onwards down some lovely backroads towards Collingbourne Ducis , plenty of signs to warn you that you're still in Army land ............. Then I did a new (to me) byway , I now realise why we don't usually ride it as there five gates along it's short length . it was also well slippery riding across that field on worn tyres

Take some photos , I've no idea what Sutton-on-Sea looks like

Pigs have been seen flying over the North-East but is @busabeast actually out on his bike ...................................... ???

He only goes to two places , Albox and Baza . Any further and he gets a nosebleed ...................

Yes but a very smart looking feckless twat

As far as I remember it was just the model year, what I'd really like is the XL500R but they came a bit later

I'm surprised that the swing arm has rotted out but if you do manage to mount the new one I would drill some holes in it to let the water escape. I did this on my KTM950

The bolt is still available from CMS but they only have one left .......... https://www.cmsnl.com/products/bolt-frang-12x105_90128ka3730/ but the collar isn't . If you can give me the dimensions of the collar I'm sure my boss could make one for you .

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, I think you'll find that was George Michael's fault

Well Freddy sounds very posh whereas none of us here could be considered to sound posh

I'm just grateful that I still have hair ...........

Been out on the Donkey today , cold wind early on but got warmer later . Trails are still really mucky , i need to change tyres instead of trying to get the last bit of grip out of them . Walking dogs and rugby/beer tomorrow. I will need to do Mothers day chores for my wife on Sunday, best find my pinny.

XL500Z for me please plus a new kicking leg

You're in denial again

Long Barrow done, this one was a bit disappointing

Well there are three that I'll take a look at , all in Wiltshire . There may be some off-road lanes involved as well

I'm going to visit a Long Barrow tomorrow

I got dragged to the garden centre today and saw this sign. I think it’s perfect for @Buckster’s front door
