As the sun rose today became the day.
Out came the bucket & polish. It was time to wash away the winter from my bike and ride her into spring.
Poole - Blandford - Salisbury
Dan and I had a steady run our of Poole, as we were not the only ones with the same idea. However when we turned for Salisbury we lost most of the traffic and the roads opened up along with the speed ;D.
We the stopped for the obligatory ride out picture. Note to self to pack a real camera next time!
At which point Dans bike then had starting issues which caused a few smiles and puffs as we pushed it up and down the hill. Back on the road with many a grin and nod to other bikers. One ride was on a Norton and flew past as while we were stopped. What a sound as he burned off down the straight.
The road from Salisbury to Ringwood was a bit slow, too many double white lines to spoil what is actually a nice road.
And using Google Streetview, this is where we stopped.
