Out and about 2016

I don't blame you Chris. I am also very happy with my Antares Red one, matches my nail varnish at times 😃😃😃

Chris and Julie; You could swap bikes...and nail varnish

[Nurse Julie]

I'm not parting with the nail varnish Mike. It is a perfect match for a touch up on the tank when needed ,😃😃😃

Maybe I need some advice as to what colour I should wear .... No, don't bother, I'll stick with the 'au naturel' look for my fingers (and toes)

Boston bike night

[Nurse Julie]

I have been trying to post the above pics since July 8th, I needed a bit of help !!!. The pics probably only show about 50% of the entire meet.

My 750F1 was in yellow when I bought it. Was constantly hassled by wasps when working on it in summer, and there were always dead flies under the filler cap when I put petrol in. Grew to hate the yellow so much, I was well chuffed when it got knocked over outside the local shop, the bus company's insurers wanted it sorted quickly, but there were no yellow tanks in the U.K. so they asked if I would mind if the dealer fitted a candy Antares red tank and tailpiece. What a result, was going to get it sprayed red anyway!

  I notice Trigger posted them ?

 surely hes getting very competent with new IT equipment !!

I would love to get over to Boston for the bike meet,but its just to far,
the local ones happen weeklyon wednesday through the summer,and raise thousands for the Midlands Air Ambulance,
I am happy to support a worthy cause,

[Nurse Julie]

Trigger and IT do not go together usually John but, he sorted it for me this time !!!. Boston Bike Night is not too far for you, if you come and stay with us it's only 10 miles away. There are sooooooo many bikes on the roads over this way, more bikes than cars on a good day but, never more bikes than tractors  .

I should have added John that I rode 147 miles from Dungeness to the New Forest just to meet you, so it's your turn next year

  Damn,you bettered me by about 12 miles eachway,

 but,I would enjoy meeting you,Trigger and others as we did,so I make a promise,I will visit ,
as soon as can be arranged,

[Johnwebley]

on a hot summers day,the Honda went to the seaside,the Lakeside,and to a narrow gauge rail station,

 starting form Hereford ,to a little village called Borth,about 10 miles north of Aberystyth,then via Macynileth,
then to picturesque Bala Lake,and via another lake to Narrow gauge railway at Porthmadoc,

 beautiful roads,the bike ran well,lots of sun,and smiles

a quick PS,

 you may have noticed there was no mention of the return home,

 well its like this,

 between Dolgethley and Newtown,just south of Malwld,I picked up a nail in the rear tyre,
the tyre deflated over about 400yds,first a gentle wobble,them a full left lock slide/turn,
I still don't know how I stayed upright,and managed to stop safely ,
but it does make the heart beat a little quicker,
surprise ,surprise,I had full phone coverage,and after a 23 minute call to my insurance,the recovery started,a very nice
guy with a lovely Honda 4 x 4 and trailer collected me and brought me home,on the way back,near Welshpool the Police
help up the traffic for 2 trucks carring wind turbine blades,horizonally not vertically,these new ones are MASSIVE,
check the pic,

Good to know it ended well John
I hate punctures in tubed tyres they can turn scary within seconds.
Tyres have moved on leaps and bounds thank good I rode my triumph with a flat 40 miles in a thunder storm once you couldn't do that with a tube
