Walked past this on the Saturday, figured since I'd never given the Fire Field a look for a change, saw this pleasant fuck you to the no glass rule too

If my lamb has glass shards in it I know why!
Few of my mates went up to Heartside t'other day, hear it was packed out, Irn Bru was the S1000 yellow? Mates just been getting one & think it might be him.

Cassington bike night tonight. Think that's the best attended I've ever seen it.
This is just one half of the main parking field:

Still love em, a beautiful condition example:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCN0044_zpsleea68vg.jpg
I'm told this engine is 2 cylinders from a DC8 radial aero engine, and it sounded like an aircraft taxying when run up too:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCN0047_zpsy8iajthj.jpg
Was hard to spot any joins on this 5 cyl. KH:

Like the way the spannies are stacked, too:

And the best example of a Ducati 500 Pantah I've seen in donkey's years:

Only a few miles up the road from me, a decent little evening out.

I am annoyed with myself that I missed this  Didn't realise until this morning when something popped up on facebook. Still, not like it's long to wait for the next one! |
Ludgershall bike night next Monday 
I might go, not decided yet.
Today, Went to Wales with a couple of guys from the Fazer Owners Club, and another chap with an XV1700...with R1 USD forks

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCN0056_zps5umlllzm.jpg
He couldn't quite stay with the Fazers, but gave it his all; I was impressed! Not much in the way of chicken strips left, even on that thing.
Met em at Crossgates, up to Newtown (where my mate took great delight in pointing out to the others where I stuffed my last one in the hedge 
Then fish and chips at Aberyswyth, down through Aberaeron, and a refreshment stop at Llandovery - we were all melting by this point

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCN0062_zpsgvoynron.jpg
Then up to Builth Wells, and back to mate's at Leominster to cool off for an hour, let the traffic thin, before the run back to Oxfordshire. 372 miles covered - yep, you guessed it, I'm

Used to do the Derwent Reservoir and back which is about 45 miles, that was mainly a test route for me, but I always end up getting carried away with the back lanes, then I think well Hartside isn't that far away and it all gets out of hand As for riding to get an ice cream, nah, used to in my 125 days but the way I store my bike is a pain as I don't have a garage.

Went up to Megamotorcycles in Swindon to try find some Kevlar jeans and meet up with Ws4936. Nice country roads route via Shaftesbury area .
Finally found a pair that actually fits me properly - Oxford K Jeans with inserts for £50 . Seems like a pretty decent shop; especially if you're into the more expensive brands like Alpinestars etc.
Unexpectedly bumped into Chickenstrip doing a bit of shopping there too

Went to Megastore, Swindon, where Matt failed to introduce me to Ws4936 
"Do you two know each other?"
"No"
"Oh, ok"
I also bumped into someone I hadn't met before from the Fazer Owners Club there, but who had a hand in sorting both the old and new Fazers of mine. Seemed to be that kind of day.

Worse than that, I didn't even know that was someone from the forum until you just posted it here; we must have been sat opposite each other for a good 20 mins before you turned up

Steering damper on an H2? Band aid on a bleeding stump springs to mind

Think someone might have clipped this sheep, or maybe it fell over and was struggling, strange. |
Very pretty. You might have been missing an offer there. Was she batting her eyelids at you as you went past?
Some nice bikes there. Is that 5th picture a Triumph Hurricane? I like those, don't see many.
Apparently, Torque Induction is just what Yamaha called the reed valve set up, first introduced on their bikes in 1972.
