I've been to their museum and seen that in the flesh , pretty impressive engine for the time it was built

Now go and clean it you heathen

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

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 .

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 ........

Lazy day here as it's pissing down , can't be bothered to do anything

That's what you usually do with it Lionel .........

I'm sure you did, but when you perform the kiss of life you're meant to blow into his mouth not his knob .....

Jesus, it looks like came out of the Unipart spare parts bin

What's that big coiled hose thing @Saul going across the top of the engine ? Is it some sort of emissions crap ?

Pete would love that shit

Great shots @Saul , you have so many go to places down there

I just had a look at the Honda parts list, you are right Ian, the lock ring sits above the oil seal. Obviously different to my Suzuki

No retaining ring above the oil seal on the donkey , just one above the dust seal ......

Not for me , I liked it when it was just in a field. Far too big and corporate now

Did you put that fence up Phil ? have you left a gap to get the bike through ?

You'd love it there Pedro, lots of great roads and history in the area plus you won't find better hosts

It's shit there , don't bother ............... more chances for me to go then

Is there some sort of metal ring that sits on top them and into a groove in the fork leg ?
