I was passing through. Doing a circuit from Swindon, Avebury, Hungerford, Aldbourne then back to Swinetown...Same as, nodding like the blinkin Churchill dog!
That's a nice run Nelson especially when the weather was like today. I really like Avebury, there's that pub on that bend and there's always a bike meet there nearly every time I pass by.
The B4192 is one of my favourite roads, and there's a little thatched cottage just through Aldbourne that I'd love to retire in. Dangerous road, though; you need a fast bike to make it interesting, and then you'd make a big hole in the hedges if you got it wrong...
Had two days of bike riding & BBQ with my better half - who didnt bother with any sunscreen and is now bright red & brown like my carby! :biggrin::biggrin:
It's a lovely place Avebury I guess you walked around the stones. Have stopped for a drink enroute at said pub was full of bikes Great roads around there too
Can be tricky - very rural around there plus some scary hidden dips, so an overtaking car can appear like a back to the future hover car if yr not looking..!!!
Usually a few bikes stopped at the Red Lion, used to be a brilliant bike night there until the fun police killed it off...
Took the fuglystrada into London this morning. I was aiming for Greenwich to drop off my Triumph's shock absorber for modification but I had neglected to check their opening times... Ah well, it gave me an excuse to blast through the Blackwall tunnel and play with the traffic in central London, just like the old days. Actually the fuglystrada enjoyed it; I thought it would be a recalcitrant pig in traffic, but it was fine, just like my old ST2. Then top speed tested it down the A3 to Ripley to watch the olympic cycling, followed by a cold pint in my favourite boozer. Good day, then.
Wot did I do today?.....I took 25mm out of my seat today, that's wot I did. I now have tiny specks of 'white' seat foam all over the place. AL.
Is it easy to do Al ? I was told get a electric kitchen carving knife... Seeing as I am not allowed real scissors ...

The new Avatar is looking good by the way.....it's like musical hair colour with you.:wink: Hmmm monster parts in your bedroom.....easy tiger!
Had a brief ride on an 848 streetfighter and hated it. Did a bit more on an 848 evo and liked smooth roundabouts on it.( defo needs a short action throttle as well) got back on my 749 and felt so looong for the first 5 mins and then got back in the groove and remembered why I like it so much.
