Ever tried getting a Triumph Rocket III out of a hedge - I had to find help from a nearby farm - I won't be doing that with the Harley!!! I once managed to drop the back wheel of the Speedtriple down a ditch at the side of a very narrow road doing a 3 point turn having missed a tag … I was very lucky to have retrieved the situation without needing any help, which was just as well as I hadn’t seen any traffic for ages & it was in the middle of nowhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigs Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 What does the white hart count as - 6 - equine - 9 mythical or 10 other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I think you add them all up and put it down as a 25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It is not mythical and surely 'other' should be something you have not used in another group?? However, @Hoggs is the judge, jury and executioner so...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant - if it is not 6 - then I could use it as 10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the opportunity to retire slightly early due to my encounter with the big C, I mistakenly thought I would have plenty of time to get out and rattle up the miles, how wrong I was , I seem to have less time to do what I think I want to do than I did squeezing it into the weekend , hopefully I will have plenty of years to practice getting things right I have read a lot about the new format not all good, glad to hear that it works for you, keep up the good work!! I do hope to get a crack at those two again but I have a bit of work to do first convincing my body that it’s a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
