I'll let you know if she plays, you can 'listen again'

It is on at the same time as the Archers omnibus so my wife hardly ever lets me listen live.

I challenge you to get you bike in one of those publicity shots!

Or better still, in one of the videos...

florence:
That is a very good idea, I'd never thought of that before,  I will.

A couple of years ago my friend used my bike in a fashion shoot for London Fashion week.  That was fun.

The band are down next week, I'll see what we can do.  I could post them on here and give you all a laugh!

Well, I managed to get a headlamp for a fiver after all.  A friend had an old sealed beam unit in very good order in the back of his workshop.

I was shocked though how complicated a job it turned out to be.  I was expecting a chrome ring with a few spring clips to pull out but was amazed to discover that the lamp is adjustable!  Sadly the holding ring was very badly corroded and the tiny screws had to be broken before I could extract them.  Oh well, a quick replacement with self tapping screws meant the whole thing went back together and luckily the adjusting screw still worked.  Should be good enough for the MOT man so I may be back on the road in time for the first frosts......
