Bigpie has mine Graham, give him a nudge and either I can collect 'em and drop them with you, or he can bung 'em in the post.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Waving goodbye to it. How strange it is that the day it goes the weather is warm and dry, best it's been since late October.  :groan: 
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs, it's almost like real life.

Added the Aux lights, and they work as expected  :lala: Had a bit of red herring as I'd tapped the relay intro the neg not the positive (ho-hum), that added an hour of head scratching.

In my defence, she did leave me unsupervised.

I have done nothing except wait ( with a growing air of despondency) for the delivery of a breaker bar to make another attempt at getting the dreaded front sprocket off.

Took it for the first ride of the year. Car in for MOT so Deb drove it down & I picked her up & we rode up to Monyash for breakfast. Still a bit cool & snow on the sides of the road but good to be out.

I know what you're thinking DLste but owning one does not provide a "get out of Traitors Corner free" card. :icon_no:
