My early morning plan to ride to the Cabin Dairy Tearooms in Burnham-on-Crouch was scuppered by the non-forecast rain.
So dusted off the old iron cage and went for a burn up with my father in law in his latest acquisition.

Anyone going to Brands this weekend for BSB? Probably going on Sat but will be taking the VFR
If I still lived darn sarf Tom, I would defo be there. I didnt miss a BSB race for years and years at Brands. And i always got in FOC. It's just hard going getting there and back in a day from here. Cadwell my local circuit now, just up the road.

Well I did think of you when I suggested it, but of course you are not in Dungeness anymore. How come you always blagged it? We paid £20 for entrance and £10 for Paddock Hill stand (free seating on Sat). Good value.

Anyway, it was a glorious day and as my mum would have said, "you've caught the sun!". Great day's racing and legged it round some parts of the circuit - there's so little time between the action and you don't want to miss anything.

Of interest here is this, on show outside some outfit called Slipstream Tuning :)

Gosh, Slipstream have been around for ever, that bike looks nice. It looked a lovely day there, a bit blowy I bet. I used to get in free because I know a couple of the team managers and a couple of the BSB riders really well.

That's a good looking interpretation I think.

I'm never really sure about a shortened rear guard etc, but the rest I think looks great. Nice to see something different.

Scottish Classic bike club meet in Arbroath today. Then took a run up the coast to blow the cobwebs out.  😎

Very nice. I suppose you get used to going out riding in the rain in Scotland. We have a friend in Northern Ireland, i think he's managed to get out twice this year on his bikes due to it always being raining on Saturdays and Sundays.....his days off.

It never rains on the East Coast in Scotland.

Here's the proof that it never rains in Scotland!! 8) Beautiful day for a run down to the beach, and a scorchio 11 degrees too!

After 5 years of hibernation I finally got round to completing the recommissioning the 120 Jolly Jota today and took it for it's first ride. I travelled to Wendover, a 50mile jaunt. Yep, I know it's not a SOHC but it does have clocks off the CB750F  :o! I forgot how heavy Jota's are and how they kill your wrists!
