Looking good. I wish I was out on the bike
I was undecided on Millie at first but I must say it looks better up close and starting her up one me over.

Was up at the Ponderosa (Horseshoe Pass) today and noticed the average speed cameras on the A5104, I am that slow nowadays that it doesn't bother me but be warned.

Just saw Triggers comments re short lived Blades, my mate Leigh took his very new Blade to Oulton for a track day, didn't finish the first lap after he chucked it at the scenery where the camber drops away at Lodge Corner..... damaging it bigly.

Here's a couple of recent rally shots I've been meaning to post, first is the NABD rally, the tricyclists with the caravan left to the news of a 25 mile tailback on the M6...  :)  ;)



Second is the Farmyard Party, with Dunscombe Hall in the background. The photo time on my phone says 04:39, and yes, I was on my way to bed....



I gave her the second oil change at the weekend, 2200 miles, first was at 200 just to clean out any odd bits after the rebuild.

So it's not just me that can't even get up to 50mph on these roads let alone stay under 50mph !!!😊😊😊 Both Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle have average speed cameras. The local bikers go flat out between the cameras, then stop and wait a minute, then go flat out again.

I was waiting for that.
Did you track down the other CD owner at Crick?
Thinking back I should have bought it when he asked me what it was worth.

The problem dearest is that one is my CD, not yours ::) . Mick, even though he is riding mine, not his, it didn't stop him going round the bends at 70mph today on Snake Pass  :'(

Its got to be asked.
When you login do you go into separate rooms or share the same laptop?
Or are you both sitting next to each other in perfect silence?
