A celebrity appearance both sides of the bar at Squires and a trip out with the BM Riders club at the regular meet near Langsett on the Woodhead pass.

The R100 is a "Cracker"
Also some pictures of the lakes at Langsett near the  which were the training ground for US Amphibious tanks prior to the "D Day" landings and for the Last of the Summer Wine fans Gertie on Compo,s stomping ground with Holmfirth in the background.
My thanks to Penny,Allan,Geoff,John and George for there hospitality at the BM Riders

It will be very well traveled - and it looks as if it is having a wonderful time along the way!

Cheers!

I was thinking about that show whilst looking at the pictures!  I think that fence in the lower two shots is the first fence I've seen in England that wasn't made of piled-up rocks.  

Who's Gertie?  I know who Compo Simmonite is.

The flag is with me now.

Is that a different flag than the one we signed in Johnson City, TN at the '09 rally?

You mean the "pillow case" flag we had at Jefferson and the Lake O' the Pines Rally? Yep, that's a new n' different rag.

We need a flag sorta like the ABC (Airheads Beemer Club) uses. I'm thinking that may be a summer project for me. We're big. We're loud. Let's make it happen.

Crap! Did I just volunteer for this? Lenie's Summer Wheat will do that to ya.

Monte - do you mean like those smaller banners that they usually have with the grommets at each corner?

I know what you're referring to, Mike. The ABC flags, right? Grommets are simple to add. I was just thinking out loud... Thought I'd look around at what might be available.

What's the current "legality" of reproducing the BMW corporate logo without paying a licensing fee?

To be legal, you need permission to use their logo.  Unless they are bunch of jerks, they should give permission as it increases their visibility.  I know a lot of BMW clubs use the logo, and I have not heard of anyone being hassled about it.  They haven't given us any trouble about it appearing on website, right?

I didn’t get out on a run this weekend so to give you feel for Cheshire, England I took some pictures on the way to work this morning plus a couple from one of my pastimes which is visiting Cheshire’s old houses. They wouldn’t always let me park the bike in front of them though.

First me with the flag at 7.30 on a sunny Monday morning. I’d look more cheerful if I wasn’t going to work.

2nd is the oldest house in my village a Jacobean timber-framed building dating back to about 1448, It was originally a Priest’s House and gave it’s name to the village.

3rd is a place we had a ride out to last weekend, Little Moreton Hall a well preserved old Cheshire farm house dating from 1450 and occupied by the same family for 5 centuries

Last, a few weeks ago we visited Lyme hall just over the border in Derbyshire. I’ve included it because some of you may have seen it before as Mr Darcy’s house 'Pemberley' in the BBC production of the Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice.
