Been a while

 I thought I would do a little update, Firstly  the weather gives us glimpses of nice days, but only that. It has been wet and windy and the cooncil keep making sure the gritter drivers get their overtime despite no ice or snow. We have been out but only doing the usual routes so nothing overly exiting. The weather was horrible at the weekend so were out on four wheels as quite frankly we are both fed up cleaning the bikes for longer than the time we are out enjoying the roads.

Secondly, Winter maintenance has been going well with almost all of the steeds ready for a glimpse of warmth or maybe even dry roads. So well I dragged the dreaded Velocette out to get it ready, christ, what a bugger of a bike that is, if you type "start a Velocette" into youtube and you will see why. The owners tell you that its a real "riders" bike but the truth is they are all masochists or indeed knee specialists touting for business. They are very nice when they go but it's the getting them going thats the problem, Last Friday Budge came round and confirmed I wasn't going daft with regards to setting the timing, today Myreside Bill came round and also confirmed it should go. The quest for the running Velocette continues....it will be Summer soon.

Some photos over the last 3 weeks to keep you amused;
