You don't know the half of it mate. Let me introduce you to my Hornets new end can. Not Soft Dad. The motor has only done 291 miles

I needed to head back home now so I started to make my way back , on the route I took I passed Gt. Coxley tithe barn ........... and then stopped for a quick break by my favourite lake near Malmesbury .......

The Neolithic site had been restored sometime in the past but it gave you a general idea what it was like many , many years ago ........

Next stop was the river Thames and the Ferryman pub, it was a nice place but I don't think they really wanted anyone there judging by the notice . No swimming, no paddleboards, no fishing, no mooring, £10 to launch your boat from the slipway (but only with permission). I took a couple of photos and started the bike (loudly) and left ...... Not far away was the main destination of the day , the Devils Quoits ............... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_Quoits I parked up in a snotty car park next to a weighbridge for the local waste vehicles, it was a very dusty walk to the stones . How on earth whichever authority was responsible for this allowed a landfill site next to an ancient monument is beyond me . I was underwhelmed with it all.....

We had a tiler coming to finish the en-suite today at 1.00pm but I wanted to get out for a ride so I set off at 06.30am. To-day i headed east for a change , usually that would mean lots of traffic but it was early enough to beat most of that. Back roads were the main order of the day where possible ........... I got up along as far as RAF Fairford and as I passed I noticed a lot of plane-watchers on their steps with the big lenses on their cameras so I swung around to see what the deal was . There was this all black plane on the runway which I found out was a Lockheed U2 , jesus it was loud when it took off............ In total contrast to the loud plane I stopped just up the road in a peaceful (08.30am) and lovely village for a coffee and cake breakfast ...... I was a bit concerned when this dude maneuvered his shonky old car next to my cool bike ......

Bad week for music lovers ............ RIP Sly Stone .....

Nice work @Saul , that bike is like Trigger's broom now ........

OOOPS !

He had never heard that one before and he won’t have heard it before next time as well.

Teddie Roosevelt Nat'l Park....1st 30 miles into the west side of ND...

Tidy HL 540....

'32 Studie Rockne gasser....

Shiney CX custom....

I wondered if anyone else noticed.

Well done Dad.

Well got Shadows bike as far as I can. Just waiting on the new indicator and front brake lever. Managed to disguise the scratched up headlight cowel with a black accent which Shadow loves. She thinks it looks Sick! Which apparently is positive, I’ll settle for tidy. I like the new aluminium rear L plate, supposedly unbreakable but we all know Shadows talent for destroying stuff. Now she is obsessively watching EBay waiting for the parts to come.

How is your Alzheimer’s going?

Good to know, I'll tell her Not!

The beauty you can see from a dirt-road ride ...less than 10 miles from home....

Only 83F here today....made it to 100F on Monday, so a pleasant & tolerable temp change.

From a bar/casino/cafe in MT that I last visited back in the early 90's....back then it was known as Lincoln's 10k silver dollar bar... Obviously it's now upgraded to 50k silver dollar bar & casino....the gift shop is bigger than my house & garage combined....

Slick looking '59 Impala....

Hood River valley...w/ OR's highest peak in the background....
