TRAVELLING MEN

A week ago.

JARS JAM 2

JARS JAM

3 days riding there, 2 nights and a very long day partying, 3 days home. We missed ferries, got wet, learnt about electrics and dog handling, saw every farming village in Northern France (and wanted to live in them all), drunk too much, met old friends and made new ones, sat in the sun, stopped in pretty tourist towns where everything is always shut, had coffee and croissants in Corbie where i spent 3 weeks in 1969 and generally fell in love with France all over again.

Peter Pan, Simo and Dern it was more than a pleasure to ride with you. Fred and team, thankyou, it was the best time.

More photos later.

HOME

6 days and 1,400 miles on a little bike that just wouldn't die. Replaced a bolt in the rear brake linkage and adjusted the tickover. The full story later but for now i have a thousand e mails and all the usual to sort out, if you are self employed you will know that you are not supposed to have holidays !

CA PLANE POUR MOI

Wham Bam my cat Splash.
There was a horse running at Ascot last week called Tassles, it was last.



 Back next week

T'BIRD TO L'KERT

681 miles (plus diversions for getting lost, finding fuel, mending bike). Starts Wednesday. Carol Nash stay close to the 'phone 

JUNE

TT time. If you're going you are probably already on the way hoping it's not going to piss down all week. Will the detemination of George Dance win him the sepia Senior ? and have you remembered to pack your suit and weskit?

Come and make an arse of yourself at the Farmyard Party on the 15th/16th. Reliant trikes, smelly fires, blokes dressed as women, tribute bands and big eyed twats bouncing jap 4s off the rev limiter in the middle of the night, oh and probably mud. But lovely roads to ride on, Helmsley market place, cheap beer and look at the view....and every now and then a engine goes bang at 4 in the morning, which is nice.
Get home sharpish Sunday for Fathers Day presents and my Wedding Anniversary but you could stop off at Ash's Fathers Day Retro meet at Wombleton (about 5 miles out of Helmsley).

Finally there's a 1,400 mile round trip from Malton to Jars on a dripping old Triumph. Rode the chop for about four hours last Friday............
Might take July off.

SEE THAT MAGNETO

Might last today but i bet it wont get him home.......

GET A LODE OF THIS

Some ducks and a pub near Tewkesbury early today.

LE BIG TOP

Possibly the worlds most elaborate bike rally invitation. If you got one of these this morning you will know what i mean. Roll on summer.
