We've been out and about quite a bit over the past few days. Friday, the CD250u's had a day out at the seaside, Saturday, the 750/4 and 550/4 Mongrels had a 250 mile round trip to Milton Keynes, yesterday I got out on both the 250 and Grahams 750 Mongrel for a couple of short rides and today the K6 and the 400/4 went to the beach for brekky.
Grahams ride today was a bit lively at one stage as a wasp managed to get down the neck of his jacket and stung him on the back twice 😳😳😳😳. Graham has done about 1200 miles on the K6 since March, which isn't bad considering he's been very busy at home doing some serious DIY.

After much fettling to get back to full roadworthy condition I had my first shake down run out (only 20 miles) after I finally got my DVLA documents.

Thanks to James for selling this to me.

Runs fine just had to rock it a bit to free off the clutch and there’s a bit of exhaust smoke but not bad for an 49year old engine that doesn’t look like it has ever had any of the engine covers removed.

Happy days

Had a run over to the inlaws caravan on Spurn Head yesterday. I intended to video the run back but forgot to turn my camera on when I set off, i realised this and pulled over in Skeffling to turn it on... Then my battery ran out just as I was leaving Hull... here’s the movie, nothing too exciting I’m afraid... a steady two-up ride

Had a lovely little ride out this morning , well, about a 100 miles , with a stop off at Cleethorpe for a cuppa (pier in the background) . Himself took his 750/4 Mongrel and I took Hettie, the 400/4. The weather was absolutely perfect.

Unfortunately not Paul. I was very tempted but:-
1. Graham won't eat fish
2. The queue was very long and Graham would have got the hump waiting for me.
3. The 'day out' budget is set at £7.50 (excluding fuel for the bikes) so I couldn't afford it as well as 2 coffees.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Quick blat down to a Goodwood today. One of the cafes has just reopened which is great news as it’s been closed since March. No bikes there, but some interesting cars including an immaculate e type and an RS6 which the owner reckons is close to 800bhp??!! Bonkers!
