In keeping with with your post Alasdair, here is another iconic Album Cover - their fourth released 25th Sept 1972, and possibly another WTF, this is Black Sabbath?! track:
Laguna Sunrise:
The original picture was taken on the Master of Reality tour at Birmingham Town Hall 25th Jan 1972:
Rightyho, a little bit of favourable news. I had tried over the past few weeks to get out on my Kawasaki, but my condition and / or prescribed medication was making this somewhat difficult. A couple of times, I had actually set out on a planned trip, only to turn back as I didn't feel safe enough or in control of the bike ..... or indeed myself.
My Palliative Care Consultant was very thorough in her line of questioning when I reported this to her. She worked hard to try and drag the precise answer out of me with regards to how I actually felt when I had decided it was best to turn back, rather than try to complete the planned trip.
She has since altered my medication, and I reckon this is as good as it will be for the time being.
Anyway, after all that preamble, it all seemed to all come together yesterday, and I felt well in control. I did the loop down to Chopper's Cafe; A4 Hungerford, A338 Burbage - Back up the A346 past Savernake Forest to Marlborough, and A4 home - about 50 miles in total. Not that far, but I did get out on the bike, which was a result!
Someone had built one of those Fugly Triumph Rocket III 2,600cc bikes into a Trike. Crikey they are gruesome looking as a bike, but I think that the Trike works really well:
Talking of Triumphs, this 1,200 Scambler was very Retro Mod with its '21 plate - you can spot the rear end in the first picture:
Oh and this thing of elegance and beauty - The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR:
Back up to Marlborough where I parked next to a funky KTM 390 Adventure:
Good to see you’re out and about. Thinking of getting a transalp for the winter as this Only comes out in the dry. It’s a very relaxed ride but ticks the boxes for me these days.
That is great news, that your consultant has changed the meds and you are now able to get out and about again, just in time for the sh*t weather though unfortunatly
Anyway, good to see the pics. MV's are always pretty smart, though expensive. The Rockets are nice bikes, though the sheer size of them is a bit much i think. So you thinking about a trike now then?
Before that I'll start with the best WTF, this is Black Sabbath?! track:
