Gorgeous

Starting to go places with the Pan-European

I did a long run to the M25 and back soon after getting the Pan, but that was mainly a shopping trip (bought a new one-piece suit) for familiarisation, and a run to Norfolk for a family funeral in early May, but recent news from the doctor prompts me to get touring in earnest on this magnificent tourer, because I probably won't feel much like it for most of this year.

So here's a run to Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips, taking advantage of a fine Saturday in this wonderful early summer we are having.

(I even pressed my IAM puck into service for the first time; look closely under the side-stand! The bike sticker and blazer badge were just too flambouyant.)

The roads were not as empty as this picture suggests; they were thick with old men on large motorcycles!

 


Not quite such an empty road, but definitely scenic.
