I had said in the past that I wasn't going to take my V85 out on any more trails (green lanes in the UK), but it was a lovely day, so I thought, why not?!?!

Took my V85TT on a few trails in search of a Brew....

Nice trails.
Good stuff; thanks for posting.
Not all here are awake, so had sound off
, so may have missed some of your comments on the origin of those trails in your comments.
Some of those trails looked to be centuries (and even more) old, with possibly a Roman legion's sandals wearing down the path. Those are the kind of routes I look for around here for my Stornello. Interesting how, after riding the area on street bikes for years, I can, with the little beast, find unpaved roads virtually out of my driveway that I had not seen before.
I did look at some of your other y/t offerings, and particularly liked your newly renovated man cave and bar.
Again, no sound, so I have to mention what you may have addressed in your voiceover: what, no grappa? For shame.
Oh, and after perusing comments, inquiring minds may wander and wonder too much, but who is Teresa Rimpler?
Best,
Bill

Cheers @Raven
Hahaha @Bill Hagan
Teresa is a very long ago ex of mine, I was 18 iirc, so nearly 30 years ago, and I was a bit of a floozie back then with the laydees
Thanks for taking a look, not just at the vid I shared, but the others too. Building my mancaves was a lot of fun, as was the shed warming party we had in them last weekend!
Grappa sounds nice... I'm more of a gin and tonic drinker, although have been given some nice rums recently. A brandy would be awesome to warm up in the bar during the winter months though!

I did actually mention how some of our trails, and country roads came to be, the reason or roads are so twisty compared to more newer countries. We def have some history here, and there was a huge influence in the development of Britton by the Romans too.Good stuff; thanks for posting.

You think? Maybe somehow that’s linked to that funny stone wall that cuts from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west.
Live your videos and most importantly…
I do have to say I very much love your beer garden / pub / man cave! Lovely little get away with all the comforts of home!
Well done Sir!

Ahh thank you for saying, I am so chuffed with how the bar turned out, I was really worried when I was building it that it wouldn't turn out how I had imagined!
