An English scene, barley field, old oak tree and a Triumph, one for countrymen of my adopted home.
As Welshman in exile, flying the St George Cross, is probably a step too far.

I stopped to take this as one for the riding challenge thread, but just like my bike I’m a step or two behind the times, so I’ll drop it in here instead.

It certainly is. I thought I'd found a barber's pole on my travels today but it was one of those bloody flags wrapped round a pole.

Anyway, here's another Triumph. I've been round Co Durham and North Yorkshire, trying to avoid the rain. Not entirely successfully :(

On pole position for the Armoy road races. :thumbup:

The only way this will ever happen will be if all the others don't show up. :lol:

Welsh Muffin had an important presentation to give, so I thought it best to give her a bit more freedom at home

Can't imagine you can spread jam over cream as easily as you can spread cream over jam? I haven't had one for years and I think the a last time I did I just spooned the clotted cream into my gob and then had a jam scone, but next time I find myself at Fremington Quay, I'll conduct some thorough research...

The ruins of Bonamargy friary. The big Zed does some off road!

I banged three hours riding in today before it got busy and hot. Aiming for another early run tomorrow.

no picture - just and observation.
Th Scrambler handles much better with the tyre pressures set at the manufacturers suggest - 36 front / 42 back
I ran it to Southampton and back last week at 15 front 17 back :-0
I guess that was why it was handling a bit funny ...

Check your tyre pressures , dudes...

Indeed it is - I was in a hurry / being lazy. I had checked them "a while ago" and they were fine ...

Off out at 7.30 this morning with a vague outline of a route taking in Hawes and Devil's Bridge. The road from Hawes to Ingleton is really good fun, I need to ride it more often. 170 miles in all

That 'limb removing' fence wire would tend to keep one sensible. :shock: :lol:
