A few snaps from one of my ride outs on the bike........this time I was accompanied by my mate Andy - he was in the RAF and then worked at GCHQ - bloody clever bloke who loves bikes and history like me - over the years we must have ridden over 10,000 miles together.

Naunton is referred to in the
Domesday Book of 1086 as
Niwetone.
[7] There has probably been a settlement there for at least 2000 years.
The present church, dedicated to
St Andrew,
[8] dates largely from the 15th century, but it replaced a Saxon church on the same site. It has two 18th-century
sun dials, one of which has below it a Latin inscription,
Lux Umbra Dei, meaning "Light is the shadow of God."
My bike on the left (BMW R1100R) and his black bike behind it - his is a 75th Anniversary model BMW R850R - same as my bike except the engine is smaller - his engine is more refined than mine with slightly better mpg, but down on power, particularly noticable in mid range grunt but still plenty powerful enough.
