Was supposed to be recovering from the flu...

... but a text from Mr Hall had me down the quarry by 11am! And what a beautiful day to go for a play:

Hall jr - he's a bit handy :

Fred - this was his first day out on this bike!:

Luke - with his KTM that was in pieces when I arrived

Some more of junior showing off

Us oldies (David and I!) were no where near as impressive:

My excuse is that I'm recovering... what's David's?

After a great pub lunch, we all went our separate ways... but on the way back I saw this cool truck at the side of the road which I stopped to take a pic of:

Next thing, the owner appears - an 80 yr old who damaged his balanced after an accident, but used to be in the motorbike trade and hopes that he will get it back so that he can get back on a bike! What a dude! After a few minutes chatting, this Velocette turns up - the rider had owned it since '73!!

A proper pair of old school legends:

Wouldn't a hanky and a bit of spit work better?

I think it's on the outskirts of Cheltenham, overlooks a horse racecourse?

Mike: PM'ed you recently re: Wiltshire in July - any thoughts?

 

[david a hall]
