Many years of Motorcycle and Sidecar trips with all my family, in times long ago!

Paul..... ... ...!

By the cringe!.... .....!

....scary, or what!

The constant danger to we Motorcyclists, etc.....Folks using Mobile phones and not being aware of their surroundings!

A day you don't expect to be killed!

Paul.

It's May Spring Bank Holiday in the Land of the Angles and Saxons at the moment

Which means thunder, lightning, and torrential rain...as always...

So, a flashback to last Sunday in the glorious warm sunshine...a distinct rarity in Angleland.

A journey from Hereford to Abergavenny in Wales for the regular Sunday meet up with all the Bikers in the Bus Park!

Then a nostalgic trip from Abergavenny to Monmouth along the original country road, (before the new Dual Carriageway/Freeway was built)...>>>

Then back home again to Hereford along the old Monmouth to Hereford 'Bus route...>>>

A rare memorable trip in glorious sunshine!

Lots of memories of what England looked like on my various road/bus/train trips in the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's...

...when there was little, or no traffic on the roads, very few people, and the Sun always shone on me!

Enjoy Folks!

Paul.... ...!!

Some more of the latest excitement for you to peruse!....>>>

Changeable weather from day to day to decide the timing and length of the journeys!

Paul...

Time for some fun and laughter...>>>

A grand crowd, and loads of fun!

Beware of Rebellious Rebel Riding Rousers...with chrome-studded, fingerless gloves!

Hello!

Hope Paul doesn't mind me sharing this, but with modifiying the Slash/Turn out pipe baffles I decided to do a comparison between them both, and thought I'd film it on the trusty action cam:

The original exhausts where around 95db, and with the modded baffles the ones on are just shy of 108db.

Hello Chums!

We are having some awesome fantastic Motorcycling weather the past few weeks, so I am making the most of it with rides every day!

Last Sunday's sunny trip to Abergavenny, in Wales, for our regular Motorcycle meet-up!

Every now and again my rides become really scary.... .....

A ride into the fiery depths of Hell in the Underworld of the City of Hereford!!...>>>>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS2_R80lpNQ

Venture there at your peril!

The visit and its survival are always worth a few dregs of Jack Daniels upon reaching home safely!.... ....!

Many thanks for watching, as always, Folks!.... ...!

Paul..... ... ... ...!

The underworld that is Tesco's car park Paul? I've dared to park in the Garrick hundreds of times, and you know what they say in Hereford. Who dares wins!

"Maylord Orchard's Underground Car Park", in the Town Centre!

My favourite parking place where I can safely? chain my bike up to the railings.....

...and hope, when I return, that she is still there waiting for me!.... ....

...and not in the back of some toe-rag's pickup truck, never to be seen again*!..... ....!

Many thanks for watching, Den!... ...!

Paul.... ....!

* ...like my beautiful 1992, black + red, Honda CBR600FM Supersport...never to be seen again!

Memory Lane stuff!

The final part of the exploration of the old; "Roman Road" (A4103) in Hereford City that I remember motorcycling in the 1940's and onwards!

Part 3:

Little of it left now, as shown in this video.

Remembering all the amazing results of the road-building, etc, work, that the Romans accomplished in Britain, two thousand years ago!
(They used pebble-stones then, instead of Tarmac!)...LOL...!

Heya Fozzer... After reading a lot of your posts I must say, in using the vernacular here in the area of Earth that I'm living in: You rock ! :-) Am glad you are here.
Myself, have been from the Atlantic to the Pacific on scoots though have been a no-rider for some time now. No one can take those adventures from us. No fear, but a healthy respect.
