Too busy enjoying the ride today to stop for any shots, but grabbed a quick photo of the collection of bikes outside the coffee shop where I stopped at the Old Depot in Weedon.
Then one from inside one of the old Royal Ordnance stores.

First pleasure ride today for a year I think, met my mate and headed to Goodwood. He’s just got him self a 1999 R1, had a go, genuinely surprised how nice it was to ride (apart from the vibes on the bars)

Got to see a spitfire take off, a few tasty cars were parked up.

Loads of bikes about, and the most popular was a panigale. Bloody loads of them.

Never.

Although one trainee ended his on-road session in an ambo to A&E. He was ok. The loan bike wasn't.

Did you find a there route that avoids Midhurst? (I eventually sorted one to that area (used the A285) after a trip that diverted via deep single track roads complete with legions of white van men and some pretty impressive potholes on Woolbeding Common).

A good 4 hour ride today,home again about midday. Cool early on,then warmed up aroung 9.30.

We have been getting astoundingly good weather here for the last few weeks. Most unusual and costing me a fortune in fuel!

Had a full week of bimbling around behind CBT and DAS students so decided to have a bit of a blow out and get the big bike out.

Dug out the Croatian jacket gifted to me from Mr Tack and went out and in his own words had an hour of “RLAC” ….. lots of enjoyment and remember a lost friend
