Wow, looks fantastic Paul, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I have been helping him indoors cut the hedge, it was punishment for me being away all week on holiday......out on a bike tomorrow hopefully.
Holiday again  8) 8)
Anywhere nice.
Going to try myself but storms predicted from mid morning >:(
Yes, another holiday 😀😀😀😀Graham stays at home and looks after the dogs....and has some peace and quiet, so its a holiday for him as well 🙄🙄🙄 East Sussex, stayed with my Sister.

Out and about on the Mongrels today. Had an absolute blast racing Trig around the twisties on the Wolds, both these bikes stick to the road like shite to a blanket and are fantastic for riding hard and fast.

The CB500 is really nice, a lot of thought has gone into that with some nice paint. It's the bike Honda should be building now.

Those Suzuki are pretty rare bike and don't see many of them out.

One of the first bikes I rode,  my elder sister's boyfriend let me ride his GT250 prior to buying a red 550 to replace it.  I was fifteen at the time and it felt like the fastest thing in the world as my own transport was a Holdsworth bicycle  ;D

A Holdsworth Nigel, you bought from a local Putney based bike builder then? I used to ride past the shop on my 10 speed Carlton to have a look on my way to visit my aunt. Lovely handmade frames in orange and blue 👍.

I'd inherited it from my uncle so unsure of its original supply.  Campgnolo gearsets and lovely large flange aluminium hubs with alloy rims,  unfortunately sold when I got a moped. 

Saw one in those colours recently for sale and nearly bought it,  very good looking bike.

I use it as an excuse to go out for a ride Paul, walk 100 yards to the shop or ride a very long way round and have a blast......no contest really 😀😀😀
