    Wiltshire trail ride

    Went out yesterday on the lanes of Wiltshire on my DR350. Twas a bit damp despite the lack of rain. Four pics from the day where I got to meet Boboneleg for the first time.

    Bob entering a small puddle that had caused nearly all the bikes to stall in the middle with damp plug caps.

    Bob stranded in the middle with a dead engine and worst of all Strange Dave giving pointless advice

    Bob emptying the water out of his boot....and leg.

    My mate John who just left his bike standing where you see it and went to help a fallen rider.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Nice to meet Yen and his mates. Bikers are part of a small world, here's two guys from opposite ends of the country who find that they have a mutual mate and end up riding together in Wiltshire

    Strange Dave attacks a puddle on the Ox drove



    Yen takes the easy route..............thus avoiding the need to wash



    Yen looking rather tidy after defeating the ford at Stratford Tony



    pick your rut.................and go for it



    Yen lends assistance to Tony in the puddle of death



    nice to meet the guys........................must do it again but without the mega puddles

    It's true what they say... pictures paint a thousand words.
    I must get myself something small to join in on these runs.
    Forum help and advice needed?
