Today was the hottest day of the year so far and its only the second time the new bike has been started up and rode. Lots of swans out on a lake in Petersfield

That track might get explored at a later date

I don't know what those ruins are out in the field

That nice plump pheasant would make a very tasty meal

I added a topbox but getting my throwover panniers on the bike proved troublesome, its almost like this Bm isn't designed to carry luggage

Another old ruin out in the fields

Water flowing everywhere and still over some of todays back roads.
I am hoping to get up early tomorrow and ride to the two big lakes SW of Bristol and hopefully find them overflowing, its a 200+mile ride and will get the mileage up ready for the bikes first service next monday

A narrow side track gets me closer to it across the rape field, further along in a village I am told a bridleway will take me there but its getting late in the day and I don't want to go offroad now, hopefully over the next few days I will get to it

The GS is the perfect bike for these roads

This would be my perfect bike for exploring offroad in Thailand with its low seat height.

My first sighting of the Royal Enfield Himalayan

The dashboard looks a bit hi tech for Royal Enfield

Nice to see you out and about on that new BMW, must have big smiles all day long?

The yellow bike you have never seen before??
I see the same bike 5 years ago in China.
Will post details in a new Thread.
 
Great report Colin, those roads must be great for the BMW, love to see the Himalayan in the wild in the U.K.
One wonders if RE would still be British, would they have produced a similar bike?

One thing, missing the food picture and price point :ride:
