Ride Outs

and it’s one of the first nice days of the year so we decided a nice trip to the seaside was in order, the ride to Aberystwyth was just what the doctor ordered to help blow away the winter blues (and a the full English breakfast helped too!)

Alliance is a 25 metres (82 ft) high sculpture in the centre of Cardiff, Wales. It was created by French artist Jean-Bernard Metais. The sculpture consists of a large stainless steel and enamelled metal arrow column and a hoop, which glows in the dark, and falls and rises with the Read more

Spring, a striking blue steel piece that’s sprung up right on the site of Leamington Spa’s original spa, slap in the middle of the town’s ongoing facelift. If the council’s regeneration plans needed a mascot, this is it. The title’s doing some heavy lifting. There’s the spring of water that Read more

The Quantum Leap sculpture, located next to the picturesque River Severn in Shrewsbury, is a towering tribute to one of the town’s most famous sons: Charles Darwin. Created to celebrate the bicentenary of the evolutionist’s birth in 1809, this massive piece of public art was unveiled with due pomp and Read more

Just a couple of photos from our annual winter pilgrimage to the NEC in Birmingham for this year’s Motorcycle Live show — an event that’s basically Christmas for motorcyclists, but with more leather jackets and fewer snowflakes. As always, the show was a feast for the eyes — bikes as Read more

On one of the warmest days of the year, instead of staying indoors and cool we decided to head south and have a wander around Wiltshire. Go figure! We started the day by meeting up with Ray and Bonzo at George White Motorcycles (now known as Blade Honda) in Swindon, Read more

It was another unexpectedly warm Saturday in September, the kind of day that makes you feel like you’ve stolen something from summer. We were gathered around Bob’s kitchen table, mugs of tea in hand, putting the world to rights, when Bob casually mentioned he could go for a pasty from Read more

It was a fantastic sunny day so we decided to head to the seaside after a breakfast stop at Bringsty Cafe on the A44 near Worcester and we headed West along the fantastic A44 all the way to Aberystwyth for ice cream and a nice cold diet coke.

Another day and another trip to the seaside but, truth be told Bonzo is such a fan of Gavin and Stacey (a UK sitcom that’s based in Barry Island) we decided that we would take a ride down to Barry Island and see ‘What’s Occurin‘

“I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside” is all we could hear down the phone when I was talking to Bonzo this morning, so we took this as a hint that the big lad from Wales wanted an ice cream and a paddle in the sea. Never one to Read more
