Enjoyable ride on a nice collection of bikes. In lockdown here . Glad you are out and about. Cheers, Dan ( Toronto). 🏍👍🇨🇦

Sandy, that is a perfect video showing the camaraderie of bikers. I returned to bikes aged about 60 and still loving it at almost 79 and planning a couple of tours the virus permitting.

[@WiltshireMan]

Welldone Richard. The biking is keeping you young:) See you at Choppers Cafe soon:)

Great video Sandy. Lovely to see all the local areas. Funny enough today on South Wiltshire Royal Enfield Club ride out we visited Choppers cafe...it was the first time for me. I really enjoyed it As it was rammed with motorcycles... Happy days may the weather stay lovely. Keep well. Bye Stuart 🙂

Wonderful video. I find everyone an inspiration. I'm off to North Wales next Sunday on my Honda cb300r where I will stay in my caravan and do a lot of touring in Snowdonia. Look forward to your next one. It's like having a visit from an old friend. Take care.

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Anthony. I hope you have a good tour of Snowdonia and not too many people

[@flat_battery7653]

I strike from the darkness and drained all power from your Go Pro. mwahahaha! Awesome vid, now I know where the Chopper Cafe and the Rowdy Cow are, I can pop over on my new bike when I pick it up!

[@WiltshireMan]

Welldone, what bike did you buy?

[@flat_battery7653]

@WiltshireMan got the Triumph Tiger GT 1200 Explorer. Probably a bit much for my 1st big bike but want it to be my 10 year bike. Still waiting for delivery!

[@campfire52]

What a great ride that you took us on Sandy! And a great bunch of riding companions that you have there too. With the beautiful weather that you had, it probably can't get much better than that really. And best of all, there will be lots more to come. Enjoy yourselves and thank you for sharing the adventure with us. I will see you on the next one.

[@WiltshireMan]

I have some good riding friends for ure Terry:)

[@buddhastaxi666]

Im holed up with sciatica. Cant ride. Its good to watch you blokes get out and ride. Im in West Australia deep in the south. Nearest city is 90 miles away. Nearest town is 10 miles . Vast empty roads though many are dirt. Different here as mid size bikes cant eat up the miles of straight roads. Ive had a zx14 r for 15 years and a big cruiser for two up. Parts of WA are busy from Perth down coast to holiday tourist spot Margaret River. Rest is empty. You need a bike that reins in the horizon or rolls effortlessly through. No motorways, no villages down winding lanes, no lines of parked hatchbacks taking up half the road. Downside is less cafes to ride to, less historic places of interest, less walks through woods. I ve experienced the traffic in the south of England so thats not missed. I was in Woltshire in the 90s and was amazed at the difference in 2015. Years ago it was a rural place with an ancient vibe. Nice to watch other older riders still swing a leg over. Your road through the Downs is more like where I live, in wheat belt. Open country, sometimes roads follow farm boundaries. A farm is usually 4000 acres.

[@WiltshireMan]

I crave some opens spaces and places where there are few people. It sounds pretty amazing where you are

[@buddhastaxi666]

@@WiltshireMan We were walking in Brecon Dr own a canal. Wehad justbeen toHolland. Wechatted toaladytherefrom Holland whofound the UKgave her elbowroom. Australia has been abused. Then theres climate change. Ive been here 55 years since teenager. From Montgomeryshire and Shropshire. Back then itrained more. Less bush had been cleared. It was primitive. The towns n villages werestill parochial. Sod all traffic. Now its a bit like ....where are the lilacs? We stayed at bnb at Trowbridge. The traffic was awful. The wild places fragmented. Theguy there said population had doubled in last 10 years. Mybrother in law in Oswestry toldme how everyone has 2 cars.....we do as well. Its still quiet away from Bristol...Birmingham and London....South coast. But that lovely rural quality ofnaturedoing her own thing....is harderto find. Its sad...i ride mybikes and play with my puppy....and hope.

[@LFH02]

Should have given me a shout, that breakfast looked excellent, I spend all day driving those roads at work. great scenery and enjoyed watching. thanks for sharing.

[@WiltshireMan]

Your welcome to come on a Rideout anytime Oz:)

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Enjoyed that. Had to laugh when he said ‘other than that its stock’ 😁 I fancy one of those breakfasts 👍

[@WiltshireMan]

LOL Yes he had changed a lot on that bike. Last year Dave told us he only put 17 miles on the clock! He has other bikes in his collection

[@herne2001]

Hi Sandy, I've been to choppers a few times myself, on my bike when I was still riding and in trucks and Coaches with work in the past. Always good grub and a warm welcome, lovely scenery on the vid. We are lucky to live in Wiltshire eh. :0) all the best mate.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hey Chris, good to hear from you:) Yes some lovely motorcycling to be had in Wiltshire:)

[@adelarsen9776]

1) Very good to go very slow around horses. More people should follow your lead. Well done. In most Commonwealth countries horses have right of way. 2) The King's Oak was visited by King Arthur king of the Britons during his quest with the knights who say Nee to find the Holy Grail. I learned that at school, Thanks. 3) That breakfast looked lovely. Mushroom, tomato, sausages, British baked beans, bacon and eggs. Perfect. A hot cup of tea would have really set it off. 4) Lovely sunny day. I am pleased for Her Majesty that She sent HRH Prince Philip off on such a lovely day. It must have been a help on such a hard day for her.

[@Shining_Whit]

Nice trip out Sandy! I've been to Choppers a while back and was impressed with the food. TJ's café has moved from Faringdon to Hunts Rise South Marston Industrial Estate. I think you could earn a breakfast walking there and then walk it off on the way home! I can recommend their grub also. The mega breakfast is the one to go for! Atb Pyro

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes that would definately be a walk to the Cafe from here Pyro:)

[@DelH555]

That looked proper fun Sandy, now after looking at the Full English breakfast I'm hungry 😋

[@WiltshireMan]

Yum yum:)

[@nealeburgess6756]

"Oh to be in England now spring is here!" That looked to be a lovely ride out. Great company, full English breakfast and good quality ice-cream. What more could one ask for? Colin's Bullet might have been the slowest bike on the road that day, but it was great to hear his single thumping away! I like the look of your tank bag. Mine is about 15 years old, and has seen better days. Can you give me the model of your bag, so I can look out for it, please? Sadly my one is no longer available. Thanks for taking me along on your ride.

[@WiltshireMan]

That old bullet thumps and rattles and clatters and the exhaust nearly fell off too. Thank goodness bikes are better built these days..But.... I'd love a Bullet:)
