So what's a dog to do, your master wants you to get on the bike and all choice I have to bark in the matter is being stuffed in a Touratech Alu box, strapped and harnassed for security.
Think Bike uuhhh it should be think Dog!
So off we go for a mile ride in the country side, the wind in my face and ears flapping in the wind - this is life
We arrive at my favourite walking spot - Tilbury Fort
The big old wooden doors at the fort entrance sure is build to last
Wohhooooooooooooooo I just love the long grass...wait a minute I smell someone's been here before me
The fort is suppose to have water surrounding it but been very dry and you could walk through although the chances of
getting stuck in deep mud is 100%. The fort walls have canons protecting the building right around it.
Old wooden bridge that goes into the back of the fort, this links to a draw bridge
KNOCK KNOCK ANYBODY GONNA LET US IN?
Well that is Bella's ride report for the moment and back in my box, the Worlds End pub is still closed thank goodness!
Safely home and going to take a nap now while the master washes his bike from last weeks offroading session.
Sunday
There is a fair few forts down the Thames river they build early years to protect London from a water
invasion from other countries.
They have good old fashioned boot sales and military stuff for sale every few weekends. Yesterday we were also treated for a classic bike show
and took a few pics.
Anybody fancy a tricked out Monkey bike
Full on racing exhaust the works!
Golden oldies
BSA
Norton
Can't recall the name of this as it is russian but like the idea of the sidecar.
Some nicely looked after BSA's
Something you don't see often - an Ariel.
It doesn't get more classic than these two retro's
Any body ever heard of a Levis (well not the kind you wear)
And of course a very rare specimen of the Velocette
Scooted fans out there? Lambretta
One serious armed truck...
And lastly a classic old Bedford
That's all folks.
