Below is the report published in the July 2022 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in May 2022.
Here we go, rocking all over the world!!! We had five Sunday ride-outs in May.
First ride of the month was a damp run to the museum of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) in Lyneham in Wiltshire.
We had heard that the Haven Café near Salisbury had re-opened as the Thyme and Tides Deli Café, so that was our next Sunday ride. After sampling the food and drinks at the outside tables, we decided to ride back home via Popham Airfield. One of the bikes broke down on route though, and had a long wait for the breakdown service to pick him up, so we brought him some refreshments.
Our next ride was to a try out another new café, TJ’s near Swindon, which looked promising. The café was great, but everyone got soaked on the ride home.
We had fine weather for our last two rides: to the Jackeroo Café at Thruxton and the Blaze Inn Saddles pub.
With the lighter summer evenings, we are getting more bikes at our Thursday Club nights and we are seeing new faces coming along nearly every week. We start at 8pm, but people can come anytime during the evening which ends soon after 10pm. If you want to have a drink, or some food, and chat with fellow Branch members, please come along.
We are planning to have a Branch Barbeque one Thursday evening during July, so we look forward to seeing you there.
Keep on rolling!
