Well, May June and half of July was really wet, but at last we got some decent weather over here ( and as luck would have it, I'm off work this week :clap: )
85f, thats about as hot as it gets in England ( it's been hotter, but not often ) and around 72% humidity

I don't know how long this weather will last, so I thought I should make the most of it, and go RIDIN'

So first I went to the town of Chelmsford

Image

The birthplace of Radio, an Italian named Guglielmo Marconi brought his invention to Chelmsford in 1896

I know all you Americans LOVE Cricket !!!! :huh:




This Stately Home is just outside of Chelmsford

Look at the SIZE of that pond !

And then on to the town of Colchester, this town is in the very North of the County of Essex ( ha ha ha, that makes it sound like it's 2 days drive........ it's not, it's only about 50 miles from where I live )

Image

The Oldest Recorded Town in Britain !, there is not much evidance of this, although this Ruin looks pretty old

Image
Image

There is also a Military base here

Image
Image

Home to the 16 AIR ASSAULT BRIGADE

Image


There is also a pretty good Zoo, I've been here a few times over the years

Image
Image


And finally on to the Holy Grail for my bike..................The dealership where it was born :thumbsup: All those years ago in 1999
Brings a tear to your eye don't it !

Well OK it's just a small time Yamaha dealership, on an Industrial Park out the back of a really old town
But it FEELS Kinda SPECIAL :not worthy:
