A ride out to lunch.
A 30 mile ride through the forest,with a stop for lunch.Then a ride to the beach,to watch another ship load of goods arriving from China.Hope my brake light switch is on there somewhere.

In just got back from another 30 miler.I came across a private driveway,and had a nosey.I found this big country house,where they were playing Cricket on the lawn,very English dont you know.I told the owner i was scouting for film locations,and he let me have a look around.Had some lunch at the pub,and took the beach road home.I thought you might like to know we have Horses & Donkeys too.The Donkeys taste great in Kebabs by the way.
 Those Horses in picture 3 are waiting for the bus.Theres a bloke who gets off there everyday with loaves of stale bread for them,he gets it from the bakery in the next village.

Very nice ! I ride out to my sister in laws acreage and feed her horses carrots . I used to ride quite a bit but decided motorcycles make a more appealing noise and they don't smell as bad .
 You sure do have some nice country out there !!!

I take your point, and i do carry a full tool kit in them,no good breaking down with the tools at home. But i put them on because i carry a weekends survival kit all the time,i never know where i am going to end up.Also i used to fit my weekly shopping in them and the bags.Now i use the trailer for shopping,but i like the look anyway,so i kept them on.

It looks like an MG T series. In the first set of photos there appears to be a yellow Triumph Stag ?
Tools and spares ? Are you stuck in the British bike era Mick :) You don't have your hair in a DA do you ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck%27s_ass

Yes mate,it is a Stag.That is Beaulieu garage,probably the most expensive garage in the south, because its in an afluent area close the the National motor museum.They have E types,D types,Jensens,Maserati's ect ect too.Tools are essential with all the problems ive had with my bike,i am forever fixing something on it.I'm not quite old enough for the DA era, you must have some old photo's of yours you could share though.

Yes it is mate.They sold thousands of them to returning GI's after WW2,we were a bankrupt country and needed every export $ we could get.The governemt put a 50% tax on cars to deter the British from buying them,they wanted everything for export.I pass all sorts of vintage cars & bikes all the time,but not easy to get a photogragh halfway around a bend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_T-type

I thought it was a "T". My favorite was the TD, I tried to find one for years but couldn't afford the ones I found. Ended up settling for a 68' MGB GT. From the front shape that one looks like an "F".
