Peter lives in Salisbury,his idea of a long ride,is to Sammy Miller Museum and back,

I hope to get out on the Katana on Saturday - providing it passes the MOT on Friday.   It'll be the 1st MOT for 12 years,  the culmination of a months of rebuilding and fettling.   I'll let you know how I get on.  We could meet up for a ride in Abergavenny sometime.

I filled the tank with fresh juice, took about 10 minutes of cranking with jump leads on the van battery and it's finally running.   It hasn't run for at least a year and certainly not with the new exhaust system so I'm well pleased with it.  MOT on Friday. 99

Chucking it down and blowing some out this way. I am going soft, the car is getting used over the bike half the time to go to work, new job means starting before daylight and finishing after dark.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Blowing a right hooley here in Dungeness. Bikes all packed up ready for the final move to Lincolnshire Tuesday. Took some up by trailer the other day also with a load of other stuff. Can't wait till the first nice day to start exploring the area on a bike (I get the feeling it won't be any time soon)  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Welcome to winter 2015.  Us people in Wales get it first and worst.   The Englanders just get our leftovers.
I was going to use the Katana yesterday as the rain wasn't too bad but the sodding thing refused to start.  15 mins of cranking, aided by jump leads, total waste of time.  The 400four (which is SORNed)  started first prod.  Just goes to show why Hondas are tops.

Yes Mike, will be living on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds so all up hill and down dale, nothing compared to where you live but, still plenty of hills and valleys

I will enjoy John, very much. I have now taken early retirement so will have plenty of time to go out and about and have fun.
