Nice!

Looking forward to seeing mine in the car park. Things have slowed (again!) due to finance issues (2 new rear tyres at £300 each :'()

Look at them... Not a shiny bit among them... Bikes were made to be ridden not polished...

£120 !!!


Wettest  April on record but it's dried up on t'other side of the hill this week so I've been able to ride every day except today when I wasted a perfectly good biking day taking the car for it's MOT. It Passed again to live another year. One more year and it will be 25.

shame, did all my decorating today!!
Looks like you definitely had the weather, it was cold yesterday!!

Dirt quake was an evening run by sideburn mag, think they're trying to boost the flattrack scene a bit.

Was worth watching & there was the most amazing indian there, if only i had a spare £26000!!

Had a good ride took some back routes and frankly after mixing it  with some crappy rice burners i was reminded how good the handling on these R65,s is, The K is brilliant and comfortable for long distance but if you just fun the R65,s are hard to beat  + the number of people who take an interest in an old airhead puts chrome monsters to shame.
There were two very interesting bikes in at Squires today a rare 1981 Yammy TR1 and a superb 75 Triumph Bonny Chopper...... sorry i forgot my phone and camera.
For the benefit of those who have never seen one here's a TR1 it being shaft drive it sort of seems attractive.....

Do you live local to squires?
It seems to be a 'local' of yours, I live about 8 miles away, but don't often go, that said we're going this Thursday evening if you're about.

Not too sure yet, would think we'd set off about 6.30pm
had a good run tonight, squires was quiet and so were the roads.

I'll let you know about thursday
