Well the handover to Father happened today, as you can see from his expression he was rather pleased! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

He’s 84, no didn’t ride it today, he quickly scuttled it away into his garage I think he was worried I’d change my mind 🙂, I’m going round tomorrow there’s a small paved track near his house that’s unadopted so he’ll have a quick spin on it there, the main thing is he enjoys tinkering with old vehicles and since selling his Daimler V8 250 has been a bit bored, so more than ride it he’ll work on it, I’m not sure how he’d go on for insurance at his age!, anyway he’s a happy chap today!.

He can buy his own bloody bike lift! 🙂, he had a quick (slow) pootle on it today, 50 years since he last rode but no problems!, that said it’s just like riding a bike isn’t it, the only snag is he has a bad right knee and struggled to kick it up, he can’t quite bend his knee far enough to get on the kickstart at its highest point, might be able to drop it back a few splines on the shaft to give a lower starting point, not sure it will then give enough revolutions to start though?, we’ll have a look at the weekend, another idea is making a 4 inch platform to go along the left side of the bike :) “The James arriving at platform one is the 5.30 from Derby” !.
