    Sorry it has taken me a little while to stick this pics up but the weekend before last four of us had a last minute ride out around Worcestershire and Shropshire.

    3 of the bikes were 2 strokes and Ses came along on his ‘sensible’ four-stroke Fireblade to ensure that things did not get out of hand too much!!

    The rare sight of three 2 stroke bikes, the two TDRs are both Thumper’s

    My old mate Eddie, who last rode a RD350YPVS back in 87 heads out on mine to get requainted with an old friend…Our first stop was on top of Clee Hill. Great views but the cafe was shut

    Next stop was Cravcen Arms, where the cafe was open and we came across one of Thumper’s old bikes, his 95 Tiger…still looking good, and huge!

    Despite the fact there only four of us we manged to get split for a while and a bit of waiting about ensued

    Loved this modified 2005 Hinkley Bonnie, sounds fantastic when it fired up to leave too

    Just like the one I crashed when I was a courier in 1985

    This rare twin shock GPz750 took me back to being a 16 year old apprentice at GKN back in 1981. We would go over to Hanger Kawasaki over the road from our factory in Brum to sit on bikes like this in our lunch break…

    Drink tea and talk sh!t about bikes…perfect!

    Thanks to forum members Ses and Thumper and my old mate Eddie for joing me on a highly enjoyable 60-70 miles of fun.
