Isn't the internet ace? Two more bikes arrived today whilst I was at work, the complete one is a Derbi GPR50 limited edition thing, the other is a 1983 Yamaha RS125DX in bits. Also bought an unused Micron from the vendor of the RS (he said it didn't fir the Yamaha) and fingers crossed, it looks like it'll go straight on to the MBX50!
Mrs Cavalol saw a picture of my 4 mopeds earlier and said 'Do you really need 4 motorbikes?' Good job she never comes to my storage.

That's a really nice, clean Widowmaker. A historic bike for what it represented in terms of the developmental leap, and straight original ones must be getting rare now.
My BiL has a really nice, clean and original CBR400RR from that same era. He's quite ill and has had to give up riding but won't give it to me, or even sell it

I had a ridiculous overtake riding my 1050 cc Triumph in town the other day. This car was driving up my arse despite my driving at the speed limit and more to the point at the same speed as the car in front. It seemed that leaving a safe gap (which I increased because the clown was so close behind) was somehow dawdling. He then did a slow, admittedly safe enough, but utterly pointless overtake into the gap. We were side by side in different lanes at the next junction

Mine was burnt orange, gorgeous bike, wish I could still ride one now, but the old bike injury from 1977 is catching my knee up.
80 Miles this morning, met some pals in Hungerford for a coffee and bacon sarnie, it was lovely just sat on a bench in the sun chit chatting and watching the world go by. The ride through Wantage and Lambourne was glorious, I left at 8.00am so at that time it wasn't too hot.
Rode back via Goring and Berinsfield, I didn't stop at the H as by that time it was roasting, soI decided to press on home. Nice ride though.

The roads from Lambourn and Newbury across to Wantage are my local favourites. I don't even mind the A4 west of Newbury.
My house is almost dead-centre of your route.

I've owned my bike for five weeks now and I've racked up a huge total of 40 miles. Bandage finally came off the finger today so I can get a glove on so it's all systems go.
Starting tomorrow that is, when the temperature is set to drop ten degrees. No way am I riding with a helmet on today, even my open face one. I've just cut the grass and I'm dripping wet and absolutely knackered, much as I like the heat this is murder.
