Title: Tenby
Post by: Timbox2 on May 23, 2016, 06:59:48 PM
Nice ride, only 200 or so miles return, got a few showers but generally a nice sunny day. Pretty much all fast A roads, I'm sure a more interesting route could be found but I was supposedly working

I hope my other half never sees that topbox because as we with both have an aversion to panniers sure could strap some stuff on top of that  :icon_biggrin:

Thanks for the pics and the memories. Rode there from Harlow on my CB175 with my mate on his CB250 in the summer of '73.

Didn't see any nobs standing around tho' :*&*

Ah, in 1973 you'd have had to visit Streatham Ice Rink to see this nob, about the only place I went. It was another 2 years before I got wheels( Gilera 50 Touring).  Essex to Tenby on a 175, I wouldnt want to try that these days, though I know some do.

Tenby is a lovely spot.

Gilera 50 and Touring is not a combination of images that spring readily to mind  :icon_scratch:

There were 2 models, Touring and Trail, the Trail was about £20 extra and me dad wouldnt stump up the extra down at Elite Motors, so Touring it was. Think Brighton was about the longest Tour I did on it, all of 50 odd miles
