The Random Rideout Pictures

That I would have loved to have seen....

 

hola amigos, salida de sabado de los Obsoletos, MONTEVIDEO,URUGUAY

 

Managed to get a day pass from the asylum last Saturday, so had a day immersed in all things motorcycling. Trip up to the National Motorcycle Museum on the Tiger 800. Brilliant day of not thinking about elections or the bloody B word. Felt great for about 48 hours afterwards.

I never thought I'd want to eat a motorbike - but the top one is a full-size 1928 AJS... made from chocolate. Very tempted to drop something and while picking it up, have a sly lick of the front wheel.

The Norton Nemesis prototype - 1500cc V8, 235bhp and estimated top speed of well over 200mph. I don't think it got beyond prototype.

The highly drilled Ariel Arrow completed a flying kilometre at 122.45mph in 1966. I had an Ariel Leader in 1971 (less sporty sister to the Arrow), and the only way it would do 122mph is chucked off the top floor of a 10-story building.

 

Selection of recent destination pics for viewing.

 

Very nice, but if you're trying to make us jealous with the blue skies and fabulous scenery...... it's worked

 

Hoooooowwwwwlllll!!!!!!!!!!

 

I enjoy your pix over our dreaded winter, so hope it’s not too hard , and spring is not too distant for the gritters to f$&k off . It’s blowing and pouring today and I’m back at w$&k, if that helps @Dave C @Dozers Dad

 

Not sure if this will work, but this was the start of my rideout today...

That’ll be the Chilly willy run then, looks well attended.

 

It was indeed. 808 bikes set off, £5712 raised for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
Nobody ran out of fuel this year, but we did have 2 breakdowns - both I am reluctant to admit on here - were Triumphs! A speed trip with a broken clutch cable and a Bonnie with a broken throttle cable.

 

Very well done. Pity there’s nothing like that up this way, I did the Newark one last year and that was well attended. The nearest one was the Brass Monkey that @Smilinjack mentioned.
