Fun in the Sun

Decent weather at last, so took a ride over the Bewdley switchbacks to meet Mark at the crossroads near Upper Sapey and found me taking a diversion. The road was closed near Stanford Bridge so on to to Martley for a great run along that ridge on a clear day looking over Worcestershires finest before switching back again on to the Tenbury road. Just parked up a few minutes on the bend and could hear Mark's Bandit in the distance. Sounded like he was having a bit of fun coming out of Martley on those twisties before I flagged him down.

 

Good to see him sporting a nice new Arai and hear his experiences test riding new bikes now Rachel has passed her test. So looking forward to going for a ride with him when he makes his choice. I reckon it'll be an XR1000 or a Multistrada!

 

Great to 👍 catch up, a nice brekkie at Shobden where there was plenty of aero activity there for a change. Counted at least half a dozen gliders being towed up, and several Cessnas taking off and landing. Sitting outside in the sun admiring the bikes and planes including the old Suzuki GS350 that turned up - or was it a GT ? Anyway, loads of bikes out today so after breakfast we headed off into Shropshire for more fun that proved Mark's Bandit (or should I say Rachel's now?) can still do the business!
