Leaving for a while
« on: November 29, 2023, 09:14:21 AM »
Probably my last visit for a long while. Best of luck with the forum and many thanks to all those who have helped me with my 550F2 restoration.

I’ve attached my plans for the forthcoming 6 months. If you feel you can support UNiCEF it would be gratefully received.

Best regards

Phil

Big respect to you fella........frightens me to death just the thought of being out on that big ocean in a small boat !

A workmate of number one Daughter did the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge (Rowing) some years ago.........fantastic achievement with a crew of 4 rowing across the Atlantic. He still does presentations about his trip to Schools around Bolton and he's still raising big bucks for the various Kids Organisations that he supports. Top, top bloke in my view.

We were able to track his boats progress and how the other boats were doing every day so maybe the sohc Members will be able to do the same with your boat........give us some details of how we might follow your exploits and I'm sure you'll get some extra  dosh from us 'armchair warriors'....I'll certainly chip in.

Lastly.......I wish the best of luck to you - and ALL the participants.
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

Have a great time. My niece did the race from China all the way back to the UK.
It looks challenging. We went on her boat when it docked in Derry.
It'll be a fantastic experience.  👍

Thanks, Ash.

Oh, and thanks again for your help with the 550. She runs like a good un now.

We never did conclude that electronic ignition exercise. Perhaps when I get back…..

Take care.

Respect. A chum of mine did something similar a few years ago and loved it. Mind you he does transats all the time. Hope it all goes well.
