Bianco2564 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just got back.Met up with two guys from work at Market harborough at 7am,weather was dry but a fresh 4 degrees C.Went up to Melton Mowbray, Colsterworth,Sleaford and to Mareham Le fen where one of the guys parents lives.Quick cuppa and then rode into East Kirkby airfield with his dad on his 60 year old Royal Enfield Crusader.The Lancaster was outside taking visitors for taxi rides along the runway , £300-400 a pop Set off for the 50 mile ride out at 10.30, just in time for a couple of really heavy showers.What should have been a pleasant ride through the Wolds was a bit of a grind,mostly back roads covered in gravel and mud.Back to the airfield for 12.45 for some brunch in the Naafi which was most welcome.A look around the hanger full of WW2 items ,Mosquito, Dakota,smashed up engines,Tallboy bomb amongst a lot of other things.The Lancaster fired 3 of its 4 engines and proceeded to do the taxi run which was a few shortish runs up and down the grass runway.Best bit was when it rolled back onto the apron and opened up the engines, the sound of a pair of Merlin engines at high speed was awesome.Another brew and cake at the parents then a blast back down the A46 back home 97 miles in 1hr55m Inc a fuel stop.260 miles in total, R1didnt miss a beat, can't say the same for me, my wrist and legs were killing me when I got home.My beautiful blue R1 is plastered in dirt, its never looked like this since I've owned it Ah well, good excuse for full mint up tomorrow.

Bianco2564 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Having seen the state of my bike makes me feel sorry for the owner of an early Honda CB750 we were following on the ride out.His original looking 4 into 4 chrome exhausts were plastered in mud when we stopped half way round.
