I rode my bike to Duxford to visit the Imperial War Museum, which has to be one of the best collections of military and civilian aircraft in the world. I stepped onto an experimental concorde, and watched a spitfire and hurricane flying a loop in formation. Awesome.

Haha…the Top Gun bike, a Kawasaki GPZ900R….I had one for 22 years, sold it now though. Great bike.
Hi Richard, really enjoyed the video, well done again mate, keep up the good work. I have had my first bike now for 4 weeks and slowly getting out and about on my 125 , at a mere 67 I might add lol , I’m looking to do some days out when more confident, look forward to your next adventure! Ride Safe 😊
Thanks for bringing us along Richard. One day, you might want to take a ride out to RAF Conningsby in Linconlshire and visit the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitors' Centre where that Spitfire and Hurricane probably came from — 11 quid or so well spent for a good guided tour of the aircraft — go Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Grantham, Sleaford — probably take you three hours on the Honda. The RAF museum at RAF Cosford is also worth a visit and it's closer to you.
I commute on my bike all year round, ice is my number one enemy, Iv tried everything to keep my hands warm, Iv found heated grips and bar muffs are the most effective combo, heated gloves are a good option but they can be expensive,
I had some Oxford wrap overs on my CBF best things ever when things got really chilly I'd sit on one and have one down my jacket 😁
Still have them squirreled away if they're any use to you – the one I'd sit on was outside the trousers 🤣
I used to live in Duxford and my parents still do. I think having it so close made me take it for granted, but I think (after watching this), it’s time I gave it another visit.
