Long Mynd, Chruch stretton. Lovely up there today in the cool sunshine. Roads ain't good but the Benelli is a great bike for tootling about on aswel. Great views with ponies galore.






Found a nice cafe full of old folk so it was tea and a bacon butty sat outside in the sun.

I buy very little from Amazon,so Prime isn't worth it to me.

I'm no fan of Amazon,only use it as a last resort so I'm not going there for storage!Taipan wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 2:07 pm You got Amazon Prime? You get unlimited storage for images on there and 5gb for videos.

Went house hunting up in that part of the world a few years ago.

Didn't know about that one, i'll have to try it. I went to the one on the crossroads as you take the road for the hill.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Spent the afternoon out on my SV650S,as I've said before,since I fitted the top yoke conversion this thing just suits me on the back roads around here.
I called in at the local Suzuki dealers to have a look at some of the 800 Ptwin variants,I really like the looks of the GSX8TT & the GSXR 8 seems decent but apart from the 800 Vstrom all the variants seem to have the same shortened rear end & tiny pillion seats,so Pstrom apart I'm not sure how you're supposed to fit a load of camping gear on there.I think I'll be sticking with the SV's.
There's loads of fallen leaves & the occasional fallen tree about so I was mainly riding where it's more open countryside,at least all the rains washed the mud off the roads,just loose gravel now


I was glad of my Winter gloves today,it's forecast freezing later in the week so no doubt the gritters will be out.

I think that's what matters most isn't it - fun? Seems people are discovering they can have fun on a lot of different styles of machine.Flux wrote: Tue Nov 11, 2025 4:53 pm ...it's been a long time since I've had fun on the roads especially in November.

If by chance you mean mine, that lava flow was from the recent activity in 1730-36. Came from new volcanoes on the right and flowed about 15 miles and entered the sea in our little village.
