I led a Group Ride today for some fellow members of the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists that ended at Loomies (Junction of the A32 and A272 in Hampshire) and which was jam packed by all the other bikers taking advantage of the fine weather to get out for some fun :)

Went on a group ride with Wiltshire Advanced Motorcyclists to Bridgenorth bike cafe, I looked like a nodding dog what with the amount of bikes about.

Whereabouts is that? (Presumably not the Bridgnorth up near Birmingham!)

BTW did you know that the Hilltop Diner has closed down and is now at Clearways Garage about 1/2 a mile closer to Salisbury?

Yes the one north of Kidderminster, 225 round trip via Cirencenster, Stow, Worcester, Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Gloucester and back to Royal Wootton Basset.


Not been to Hilltop diner but had heard it had shut and then reopened.

Blimey, that's a long ride!

I thought the Hilltop Diner was a regular venue for WAM riders? Or am I getting mixed up with another group?

I would take a guess that after last 'summer' lot's of bikers will take to the roads at any chance they get. It's been great up here the last two days and oh yes as per usual when I get the first chance to get out the council have arrived to re-surface the glen road, which is now closed from 7.30am till 5pm.
Never mind tho, no potholes  :)

well spring may have finally arrived to the frozen wastes of North East Scotland - took my fazer out for the first run of the year ( yes I'm a fair weather biker these days) - bring on the summer!


Today was the first chance to try out the new double bubble screen - I know they don't work for all heights but I'm 6'4 and it seems to have stopped the blast hitting me square in the face - result!
