I could have gone with the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists - but they decided that the weather was not suitable, a tad chilly with the possibility of snow, and cancelled their run. Instead I went with two other Silver Wing owners for a thrash round Hampshire and Surrey.
We met at Petersfield, to the accompaniment of snow flurries and temperatures hovering around 0C (32F). Our plan was to head for Winchester along the A272, but as it was closed we headed north towards Farnham, and then west to England's ancient capital.
We dropped into the city via the A31, acknowledging King Alfred as we passed his statue. As we found that the Rifle Regiment's museum was closed, we headed back into the city for food and a chat.
Then it was time for the return journey, north to London for the others and south towards Fareham for me.
Nearly 100 miles covered (more for the Londoners) and new friends made. A good day, I'd say.
