What a wonderful Sunday. Perfect weather for a ride!!!
Did my first ever old bike run with the Bath Classic. It didn't start as planned, went to put fuel in the Triumph the day before, got a couple of miles from home and the clutch cable broke!!! Am unsure if that motorcycle needs a mechanic or an exosist.....
Anyhow, Father steps into the breach and loans me one of his prized Velocettes....Afraid, you bet! A 1937 (74 years old) 350, ridgid frame, girder forks and having to remember to move the timing at the right moments.
Anyhow, a brilliant run of about 60 miles from Bath to Pewsey (the indirect route!!) along some wonderful scenery, especally ove the plains and all in all a great day to be out. Great to hear the thumping of old brit bikes and a great bunch of guys to ride with.
Got home very sore but very, very happy. 8-)
