Ta, Anthin!

....a really big, posh car, with much more horsepower under its bonnet (hood) than I've got under my petrol tank, Anthin!.... :o .... :lol: ...!

I spotted him/her in my rear view mirror, just dying to overtake me!

I always let 'em pass if they are in a hurry!

Most other vehicles travel much faster than me, when I am in my usual countryside cruisin' mood... :D ...!

I turn on my "left indicator" (England) and let them pass when its safe!...Courtesy!... ;) ...!

I wish it was just; "only me" on the roads, like it used to be in the 1940's ....(Just the occasional Ford Prefect!)... :dance: ...!

Now its a Rat-Race on narrow British roads!

Weather is still good, so far!

Ta, Tug.... :D ...!

I notice that some of my favourite American Harley-Davidson biking Chums often get angry and lose patience with other drivers, so I make sure that other's "bad driving" doesn't interfere with my courtesy on the road.

I just ignore it....

...much less stressful!

Anticipate problems and avoid them!

You do have a good point as I ride to relieve stress not create it :D I do however have my bad days where I feel like chasing down the idiots and telling them what a twit that they were but you usually get the I didn't see you reply :roll: so I don't bother anymore :angelic-cyan: Still enjoy riding my invisible scooter :lol:

Here we go Chums!.... :D ....!

Part of an early July long ride around the County, taking advantage of a mid-week sunny day (for a change)...>>>

Very changeable weather lately, so any chance of some warm sunshine is quickly taken advantage of!

I hope you enjoy the trip around some English Countryside!

Ta, Tug.... :D ...!

We are having some awful weather lately, rain, rain, and more rain....

....so that Wednesday the Sun decided to shine on me, and I took advantage of it...

Now the Sun has gone walk-a-bout's again...and my Central-Heating has turned itself on again...

So much for Mid-Summer!!.... :cry: ...!

The weather has gone all to Poo!

Paul....Dodging the showers.... :roll: ...!

Hello, Chums....

...my latest escapade involving trying to find a suitable place in my half-helmet for my microphone to exclude the wind noise but still allow me to speak clearly during my travels.

I can't have it both ways...

It's either the sound of my bike's exhaust..or speaking clearly...

...but not both at the same time!.... :( ...!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3icX2raFA7k&t=177s

Getting loads of responses from all the Harley Davidson Biking Lads from the USA...a grand crowd!...(and our Anthin from Australia...Ta Anthin!).... :dance: ...!

Touring the countryside on my Motorcycle is very similar to touring the countryside in my imaginary Cessna 150 Aerobat....

...just a slight difference in Altitude!.... :lol: ...!

Making the most of the inclement, (my new posh word), weather in the west of England, where it always seems to rain in the Summer-time!

Many thanks, Folks, for all your interest!

Paul.... :D ...!

:clap: Another great video Paul, gave you a thumbs up on the Tube :clap: The wind noise makes it feel like I am on the back riding with you :lol: My son left on Monday with my bike for Colorado Springs where my daughter and her husband were just posted. He arrived Wednesday afternoon around 1300 their time. A little better than a 1700 mile trip one way. Oh to be 27 years old again. A trip like that would kill me. :lol:

Did you try my suggestion of a throat mic?

How about this? https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/helmet-speaker-and-microphone-kit-ds34m

A grand day out on Sunday!

An 80-miles all-around trip to Abergavenny to meet up with all the Bikers, then down the dual Carriageway to Monmouth, then up through the Royal Forest of Dean to Coleford for a short stop.
Then on to Parkend and video the trip through the Forest to Ruspidge and Cindeford for Time Time with some of the Family!

A very nice ride, but a bit cool in places, when the weather seems to be getting colder, although it's supposed to be Summer Time!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSd5dNoeigA&t=11s

Enjoy the trip Folks!

Paul.... :D ...!

P.S.. still "Text Editing" the videos...means I don't have to talk too much on the move! ... :lol: ...!

Hey Paul, just got a chance to watch the above posted video :clap: . Great ride through the country with you :D . I really liked the stone arch overhead bridge that you went under. I also watched the video of you getting rid of the black gold. thumbs up on both. My son got rid of his CBR 1000 RR :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: he replaced it with an older model Yamaha Road star Midnight with a fresh engine rebuild. I had it out last night and I love the half faring and the sound system that it has. Now when he goes out I don't have to worry about him going 300+ KPH :clap:

Hello, Tug.... :D ....!

Many thanks for watching my trip!....!

The bridge...Blackpool Bridge....>>> http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/d ... 000/page/7

Lots of ancient Roman stuff in England!

Paul...a very ancient Briton!.... :lol: ...!

P.S...Yamaha Roadstar Midnight! A fantastic choice! We get them over here now and again (US Imports).
Yamaha's "Star" line of bikes!

I fancied a Yamaha 250cc Dragstar vee-twin a couple of years ago, but ended up with my Honda 250cc Rebel vertical twin instead, which everyone tells me was a far better choice! (You meet the nicest folks on a Honda!).... 8-) ...!

Hello, 2-Wheeled Chums!.... :D ...!

Last Saturday's Trip in the sunshine (rare) from Hereford to the Royal Forest of Dean (Gloucestershire) For one of my lovely Lads to replace my front brake disc and brake pads, and service the brake callipers!

The original 1996 disc was badly worn and warped!

Part of the return journey back home again on my trusty steed (Daisy)...>>>
