Just got to work out how to save it to my retro flip phone now and then work out how to show my confirmation email on the gate.
Is this trip going to go the same way as the Sammy miller visit?
I only knew were to go because I bumped into Mike

Mick, it is north west from Essex, just set your compass  ;D

I've parked my tent, drinking ale and reading my Jack Reacher book. 
An uneventful trip with the newly built engine running faultlessly for 180 miles, spoilt only by my RH side panel falling off en route.   Bummer.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

I've read them all too.
Have a great day you guys.
I'm still suffering from too much beer and sun on Friday in Hyde Park. Three tickets for Phil Collins as an Xmas present from my son. I'm more of a Blondie person (Debbie Harry was 72 yesterday) and I think they were actually better than the headline act.

I hope everyone got home ok, it was a great day out, and the weather was kind too.

The first thing I did when I got back was to reroute my throttle cables so they now go through the hole in the unicorn bracket same as green1's bike, and run down the near side.

Good to meet everyone, thanks so much for the organisation and the name tags with real name and forum handle. I think they should be compulsory in real life, but then I'm crap with names.

Many fabulous bikes, everything from a 1920s BSA V twin to an Ariel 3. I had a go on one once, while somewhat pissed at a rally, and had people diving for cover as I lost control- flat out, going from lock to lock in two planes at once.

I also learned more than I expected about trams. Who thought horse drawn trams  were a thing? - how do they hold the pencils? I saw the last Sheffield tram - I remember going on these as a sprog, so was shocked to find those memories are pre September 1960!!

Check out the motor in "The Beast" or Excelsior if you prefer!
