That was nice and relaxing somehow. Especially the idea that bikers came together for for some sort of event. Those fleeting glimpses of Seaton took me back in time, it looks like it hasn't changed in fifty years, I went there once as a child and never went back.😂 Seaton must be trapped in a time warp. Truly, I get the idea that crowds can be too much to be amongst, it feels like everybody has the same idea to seek peace and tranquillity, only to end up in the same place and scream at each other. There are some far quieter places, but you'll need the North Devon coastline to find them. Your "full on" Summer vibe is great to behold, complete with that brilliant floppy hat. This upload was so good that it got me looking on Gumtree yet again for an old motorbike. This kind of thing happens when you don't show the rain and potholes. 🌞🌻🏝 Ride Safe. 👍🏼

[@lionheartmachines2193]

Hahaha that made me laugh about not showing rain and potholes to entice you to a motorcycle. Seaton is well....like so many other English seaside towns.... they're either stuck in a time warp (as you say) or powered up with blow-ins. I love hats!! That one's got a salmon fly stuck in it .. I wear it if it's too hot when I'm fishing. I've got some glorious hats and if I'm not wearing jeans and motorcycle stuff, or boilersuits...I do love to dress up!

Sorry won’t buy a mesh Jacket but at least a cold drink, funny us bikers I started on an original triumph tiger and the leather jacket was purchased almost immediately Lewis leathers hot in the summer and a sponge in the winter, fast forward when my hair went grey and another purchased from Gold top and the same, cool but practical doubtful, guess the Fonza and McQueen never went out in the rain or sun in Devon. Anyway enjoy a cold drink.

[@lionheartmachines2193]

It's funny though, how many people feel the need to tell someone what to do. Some meaning to be kind and some really insolent. You have to feel comfortable in what you wear, physically and mentally don't you... and then you find what right for you. And sometimes I'll want to ride absolutely wildly ...like a creature with no jacket and no helmet... And then others it's following (sort of) the rules. Anyway if I find a mesh jacket which is small enough for me, fits well and looks good...I'll get it!
