The first Autojumble they were running, has just been cancelled for Sunday!! Least it saves me rushing back from Norfolk and getting the Van loaded for a early morning start! On another note, it is 50 year's ago on Saturday that I brought my 1st bike, a BSA Bantam D14/4 KRG 448F. Can't believe how time flies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Our daughter is away this weekend but left some medication at home so I've been delivering that to her in N Wales. One minute it was sunny and dry, the next it was lashing down. On the way back I took my wife to Old Stores for a bite to eat. This turned out to be a very good idea because having enjoyed their excellent bacon bap and mug of tea for £3.50 she commented that the full English fry up at £7 (inc. tea) is very good value. The sensible and responsible option therefore is the full English. Can't argue with that. Sadly on the way home we passed a biker laid flat out on the road next to a bike on its side. Police etc there so nothing we could do. Hope they're ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hating this weather. Getting blown to buggery out in the North Sea on the way to Teesport from Germany. My most favourite mug got smashed as well so not a happy camper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever get your bikes moved? Just that I might be your way again soon with the Van, Moving a mate's bike and workshop from Poole to near Lowestoft. So might be able to move them on way back, depending where they are going from and to where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I posted that enquiry I have got a number of quotes and then we went and found a new house so things might change a bit. For the next couple of weeks everything can stay as it is then we have a week away for which we plan to use the Harley and after that hopefully we will have an idea of when we are moving. The new place has a lovely workshop at the bottom of the garden and my other half seems to think I will be sorting out the house Cheers Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I made a coffee table to put my makeshift pc on, it has a double socket got fed up of tripping up over the wires so it's all nice and tidy now, and it's on castors so I can wheel it about, just need to drill a hole for a pole to mount the monitor on then it will be finished. It's rough and ready but it does the job function over form for me, don't care about it looking pretty as long as does the job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper74 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I’m at the Premier inn Alveston, just north of Bristol, positioned for an early morning meeting at one of the rail depots in Bristol. I rode down here from Sheffield on my Himalayan ... 168 miles. Not down the motorway all the way ... that would be too boring, too easy. SO .. M1 , M69, off at junction 1, pick up the Fosse Way and follow it and the A436 to Gloucester then the A38 south to Alveston ... Great Route. When it’s sunny .... After 40 miles it was spitting, rough headwind along the Fosse Way ... at Halford the heavens opened up ... proper stair rods, flooded roads, bits of tree littering the road ... 70+ miles of sub aqua motorcycling !! Which explains why i am now sat naked in my hotel room with all room heating devices covered in my clothing trying to dry it out for tomorrows 200 miles !! The only bit of me that was dry where my feet ... good boots ... The water entered through the neck of my jacket and distributed itself freely amongst my clothes ... Thank god for lycra briefs ..... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper74 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) To be honest i still enjoyed the ride and now the Indian Takeaway has been delivered all is well ... if moist .... AND ...
