Title: Hell bent for leather
Post by: Mrs Ava on May 22, 2005, 18:54:35
Where to post this....well, this is the gallery, and as it is pics, I guess here is as good a place as any!

Just come back from a high speed, leather clad, weekend in Wales.  Departed Friday morning and took a very scenic route to Welshpool travelling via Northampton and the Cotswolds.  Then all day Saturday was spent with another 67 bikes, mostly Yammy Thundercats, but there was a Ducatti, some Hondas other Yamahas and a Triumph, riding around the highways and byeways of mid Wales.  Then journeyed home today, via a pair of wonderful chums, to be reuinited with our babies.  The only way to travel!  ;D

Great photos Emma, funny to hear the name Welshpool pop up. I spent many a happy year with my grandparents in Welshpool. Scenery is lovely, especially along the river Severn.

Emma - I wondered why you were a bit windblown in your avatar!

And you passed through the Cotswolds without having a bun with us?? We could just accomodate 67. I think!

Moggle??

Brings back memories of not long ago when my last bike was a Guzzi 650 V twin.
A beautiful animal she was !  8) ;D

Great photos Emma - brings back happy memories for me when hub and I were fancy free (before sprogs and loads of animals ;) ;D)  Mind you, the hp was a little less in our case, just a humble Lambretta but boy did we have some fun, travelling all over the place on it.  Ahhhhh - happy days :) :) :)

Nice bikes, I am just planning a small courtyard garden for a local garden show in september. So as there are loads of two wheeled fans in the gardening world I think I might build a bikers garden for a bit of fun. Now I need to do a  list of plants with 'attitude' and find a nice climber that will spread over the harley.

I knew it was a mistake to find my feminine side  :-*
