From my visit at Sammy Miller’s museum:

Gotta admit at a combined weight of over 300kg I was a tad apprehensive but I'm a tad nuts so went in full guns and the great white lump just gobbled up mud , rocks , logs , massive ruts and long gravel climbs. Before this little bimble I was seriously thinking of chopping it in for a CF450MT, but not now , just need to fettle a few thing like the suspension and the gear shifter, needs a flexible tip. Before and after

Bikes bloody clean Bob, you got that van out of shot?

The Tornado & Haga-san...Suzuka 8hrs...

Guzzi 500 cc V8....

It’s a Ducati.

I'll add a load of pics here and give a review at the end

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 .......

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.....

It had to happen, I bought this Ducati "Scrambler " a couple of years back and honestly love it , done some light green lanes but the time came to do it proper !!! I'm lucky enough to live within spitting distance of the Pyrenees and plenty of TET routes. Home is the blue spot and I planned on a anti clockwise route round Toulouse

LS power'd small plane....

Now go and clean it you heathen

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 ......

No trails involved yesterday and they keep the roads very clean in Oxfordshire don’t you know

I’ve always loved the style of those scramblers, which model is it?

Dressed and packed the big white lump and left last Wednesday in 33c hot sun

Been there , done that When I was flipping bikes I bought a CB125F with the crank gone, the lad didn't realise you had to put oil in the engine every so often Gave him £250 for the bike , got an engine off eBay for £250, fitted it and tided it up. Got £1100 for it .

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 ........

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

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

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