Collected this lovely stuff today and am very pleased indeed - it's like new Cool

In fact it's been a pretty splendid day all round, except for the boring tyre-squaring motorway miles. Met some interesting and chatty people at Winchester Services who were admiring my bike and luggage. Turns out the little old lady propped up on her walking stick used to ride motorbikes when she lived in Rhodesia and said there was no better way to travel Laughing Came back across the New Forest in glorious sunshine and it was just stunning.

Yesterday I gave in and bought a SatNav, so I'm pretty much ready to set about the Great British Isles on 2 wheels. Thought I'd spend the next couple of 'supposed to be wet days' making a bike protector, persuading a clever person to rig up the charger for the SatNav and working out where's best for all my camping stuff in the various packs and then look at the map! Happy Days Laughing

A huge thank you to mistergixer for the luggage/bike cover/oil/earplugs (they were in one of the many pockets), for kindly setting it all up and for not telling naughty Georgie Staffie off until I'd left Thumbs Up

Yay!
Glad it's gone to a good home, and I expect to see it getting plenty of use.
TBH, i've given up kicking the dog - it just hurts my foot and he doesn't take any notice of it anyway.

Liar. You'll be tuning your pink trombone whilst you think about it.
