sold, gutted but doubt I will ride a sports bike again

... but heavy persistant rain.... Nothing dried out, reports were good for Sunday.... They lied as soon as I arrived today (Sunday) the heaven opened again!!! Dried out for a bit, then done me again all the bloody way home. If I am to salvage a positive out of this, it might have been wet, but it ...

Day 12 Ravensburg - Landstuhl Not too many pictures as we were all getting worn out and just wanted to get there, yet again it was HOT! But we did a bit of the B500 and stopped here for drinks and a browse of the tourist trap. https://i.imgur.com/dZJlBWS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RdQ93Aw.jpg ...

... via a brief ride in Lichtenstein Another great ride, the scenery was incredible, the people all very friendly but after dinner the sky opened again... But at the end of the day the hotel owner insisted we put our bikes in the underground garage for free and we found a really good Italian restaurant, ...

Washed 2 weeks of bugs, tar and road grime off the bike and went over it twice first with Muc-off speed polish then again with quick detailer... I even washed the panniers. Then thoroughly cleaned and lubed the chain. Off to the dealer tomorrow to get a quote for a new key as the ...

After 2 weeks away and 2615 miles I'm home again. A friend, Sergio is from the mountain area near Lake Como in Italy so this year he made a Biking holiday out of his trip home and invited myself and Gary along for the trip, and for once I had ...

Might have to pop up with the camera if you go again before the Greensands crew open up again. I've been missing the MX photography.

Yes it’s fell off again though
Decided to take the bike to view a house and the heavens opened on he way home flash floods everywhere

Clock up 200 miles on Sunday riding down to the coast via some nice roads (never been on before) through the New Forest. The only time I dont get ants in my pants when riding at 20 mph and 30 mph ha ha ha..... Nice views.
Again more time on the Street was enjoyable.

I did a Thai style chilli chicken. It smelled delicious but there wasn't much flavour.

I won't be doing that again.

Went to the Forest of Dean for some off-piste mountain biking.

On the way home, I regretted leaving as early as I did so stopped by my local woods and went mountain biking again!
