Today on the way back the plan was a more direct route on the A303 in the glorious sunshine all the way to London - until I was stupid enough to lose the back end on some gravel just north of Yeovil - luckily I didn't even get a bruise and the bike is not too bad either - broken gear shift peg and chewed up belt and outer primary cover.
Got to say thanks to all the bikers who checked on me and in particular to the two lady bikers (one with dreads) and the one that runs the Esso at Podimore for helping make sure that me and the bike were safe. Then extra thanks to my wife Lisa for sorting out all my arrangements to get me back. Tomorrow I rent a van and go and collect the bike.

Sorry to hear about bending the bike, but I am glad you are ok. I trust it is something that can be fixed quickly.
Ouch. You're obviously not taking care of Macbeth, Ian, and I think it should be taken away from you immediately and given to me! ;)
well a new belt - some polishing and a bit of TLC and Macbeth will be back on the road in a few days.
I'm planning to spend my Torquay holidays. Riding the motorcycle would be fun!
Seems like you love your bike a lot. Oh well, it's a lot fun riding 'em..
