Yesterday and today I was up at the Wave Pool in Bristol getting in some more surfing.
I'd left Portsmouth earlier yesterday to give me the chance to skip the incredibly boring 50mph average speed section on the M27 and, instead, went via the A32 and Morestead road which was much more fun.
I caught up with a BMW GS who was stuck behind some cars, then we were caught by (I think) a Triumph Daytona and a Ninja, so, once past the traffic there were four of us enjoying a "spirited ride"
on some nice twisty roads and my FZ6 holding its own very well :thumbup
The Wave Pool is actually next to a farm, unfortunately, judging by the big rolls of plastic wrapped hay bales, they'd already done their harvesting, so, although there were assorted tractors and a JCB hedge cutter, there were no Combine Harvesters to do the Bike Picture Challenge
Today, having had some good surfing, I came back via the cross-country route with some more great roads and some fun overtaking, but, unfortunately, there's no easy way to get back to Portsmouth from the bottom of the A36, so I got stuck on the M27 trundling along at 50 and trying to stay awake... :z
