Welcome back. Sorry for the delay in getting this out, I've just been over to the UK to go to a memorial service of a lady that I really liked, and thought it was the only right thing to do. Had a very very pleasant 3 weeks in Wood Hall Spa which is about 10 miles from Cadwell, so managed to get out there a couple of times as well. Bomber Command is just down the road so the sky's are absolutely full of Eurofighters. There is also a memorial at the end of the main street for the 617 regiment of the RAF, anmd on that memorial are all the young guys who laid down their lives, quite a Kiwis in there which was pretty sobering. And just around the corner from my fronds home is a place called Petwood which is where the Dam Busters had their command. The place is so full of history. It's quite a paradox, at street level people go about their business and it all seems very gentle and rural, and up above the dogs of war are doing their business. We dont get to see many fighter jets down this way, so it was quite good to watch them. Of course I went to nearly every single pub on the Wolds and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I've just bought myself a new ( to me) Multistrada so my old Multistrada is up for sale. The reason for the swap? The new one has luggage and a few nice after market parts. So my old one has just had the full Desmo service ( $2K), it has new tyres, a full years rego and is ready for someone else to enjoy. Feel free to message me if your interested. I want $12.500 for it. What else has been happening, I just got struck with Covid which is a bitch, so I'm no longer a Covid virgin. Will have to see how that pans out. Pissed of actually, it's not something I am supposed to get as I have a fucked immune system.
So there you go, and here's the latest for you to enjoy.
I wonder where this bike is now?
Road food at its finest.
The late Dick herdiman, pushing Roberts bike away.
Had plenty of these while in Lincoln
What a stunning motorcycle
Wish like forty bastards that I still had mine
Well, it's all finished and looking pretty damn gorgeous if I do say so my self. Just waiting for the paper work to be sorted and you may see it out on the road
This is the Multi that I've got for sale.
Lincoln pub pies, right nice.
This is the Multi that I am keeping
So there you go. Didn't really have that much to say, just let the images do the talking. Hope you enjoyed it and I promise to have another one very soon, seeing as I'm doing feck all at the moment.
Welcome back, and thanks for another astonishing collection! That shot of the exploding zx10? is pretty impressive. Who's bike, and where, do you think?
