Turns out it's been off the road for 4 years, which explains all the rusty bolts N bits...

Well done Mac

Chris.

Bumped into an old friend also wearing a smoking jacket this evening. Same spot that was a big biker haunt from the 70s thru to the 90s

Took the RothBurg out for a spin, nothing special just a run to the shops...

Blimey its sweaty hoolocks out there today !

But nice breeze though the mesh jacket at speed...

Talking of speed, came off the M2 slip road on to the nice bit of ring road towards home, aware of the first overpass for the pig on the bridge...

A nice cager coming the other way was flashing his head lights, so toned it down a bit thinking there's maybe a 5/Oh car up ahead... ?

No the pig on the bridge was on the next overpass, ... Throttle off & a squeeze of the anchor... Down to 60 to be on the safe side...

Made up for it a bit later on...

It's all going black...

My VTR came with yucky bubble indicators which
a) I hate the look of them
ii) I don't think they are very visible, which is kind of a necessity, its in the bloody title.
3) They seem crap quality.

So I got these, possible crap quality, LED jobs from China via fleabay.



They look better, almost original defo 90's style, and are quite bright, time will tell on the quality. A quick test on the bike, I think I need a resistor to slow things down.

Another spin out on RothBurg, nipped out to J&S in Maidstone to get a rain jacket...

Got Wales coming up need to be prepared...

well i have new wheels in the household if that counts..nothing special but a good solid 100bhp motor in it ... i will get some pictures up loaded tomorrow, oh and its french

You can't beat having a van, handy with a side door too

I miss my old van at times,
