Well here we are at the end of the year, and I thought "bugger it, lets get one more out". So here it is, the last of the year. What a year eh? I thought 2020 was an odd one, but this year, well 2021 can go down the gurgler for all I care. It's affected us all in so many different ways. Having said that though I've managed a couple of great rides and managed to catch a few stunning trout this year, so it can't be all that bad. I'm nearly at the finish line for my garage and it looks like I will be in the market for a new bike ( 117) in the next month as well, if they write the Diavel off. It doesn't bother me either way, if they write it off or they fix it as it's still a brilliant bike, but if it happens, well that's OK too. Not to sure what to get actually, I sit here and think about all the brilliant motorcycles that I've had over the years and think which one would be nice to buy again. I say that because there's no new bikes out there at the moment that I really look at and go "mmmm that's nice". And I don't want to buy a classic, don't want an adventure type, don't want a big blaster, don't need a race replica, so decisions decisions. Shit I might even just go ahead and buy that boat I've  been wanting, I mean I have enough bikes to ride. What to do eh? Well first and foremost get this blog out to you all. I trust you have all had a good year given the pandemic, and all that you have all prospered to some degree. So without further fanfare and delay here's a last little blog with a whole bunch of Images that I never used for your enjoyment. Thank you all for your support and kind words of encouragement, I've made this a bit of a bumper issues so please enjoy. Merry Christmas to you all











This is a lovely bike, love the aftermarket exhausts, very stylish.

I can imagine one of these with a Millie S2 engine in it. Hmmmm I wonder

















Above and below, one of the most attractive race motorcycles to grace a race track





























The new Ducati stretching it's legs.










Loved the way manufacturers gave their bikes names. Suzuki was famous for it.

That cross over period between big heavy slow brit bikes, to light agile and fast Jappas.







Yeehaa.....



There's a certain elegance about this image






A much underrated motorcycle














































































































I have the pleasure of riding with this guy, to this day you can still see the class in him.
