I had a chance for a mornings ride today so I took the chance for a first proper ride on my Vespa GTS300.  I decided to head up over the A420 a then a loop back to home via Sherston .

A good rag along the A420 showed 82mph (on the clock) which was exhilarating as it was breezy , I think the speedo may be a bit ambitious but it was fun all the same .

Turned off to head through Castle Combe ...........

From there I rode up the tarmac section of the Fosseway to get to Grittleton.  The entrance to Grittleton House (very posh school)...........

From there I took a few back roads to get to Malmesbury ...........

In Malmesbury they seemed to be celebrating King Athelstan, he's been a long time dead though :classic_unsure:

On the way back home I passed through Sherston where they used to make knicker elastic 🫣

The countryside here is now a mix of greens , yellows and browns.  Most of the corn had now been cut.............

Nice looking towns, pure England.

I used to go by a guy on one of those bigger Vespas on my way to work, maybe he was flat out but he used to regularly be doing at least a true 120kmh, so 75mph.
