hows that for a topic that is in no way related to motorcycles lol
What Archaeological remains are there near you that can you photo your bike against and tell us a bit about ?
I was watching a vlog of a XS650 online buddy the other day which was essentially a video tour of a Roman Villa site that he had passed on one of his rides. I found it very interesting as I have been researching the Roman Remains around my locale for the past 50 years .
Within 3 miles of my home there are 5x known Roman Villa complexes , a Roman Equine Fort and quarry, The longest Roman road in Britain the Fosse Way several Roman bridges and mills and lots more to be discovered. Ten miles away at Ilchester there was a huge Roman Town and in the Other direction Dorchester another substantial Roman Town and fortification.
Some of these sites have been excavated on TV by the Time Team. One of the largest villas at Dinnington was excavated twice by Time Team such was its size and importance. (The Big Dig)
Naturally i went along to all of them and trampled all over everything taking pictures. I Got a right royal bollocking off one of the diggers about damaging the mosaic floor I was standing on at the time . I looked at his steel toe' ed hod-nailed boots and then at my soft Reeboc trainers and responded to him with the immortal words
' You cannot be fookin serious ? !' ........................
