Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome & Brian for the Aberystwyth invite.
At any other time I would jump at a ride out in Wales, but at the moment I seem to be busier than when I was working.
I'm in the middle of re-fitting No 1 sons bathroom, although this weekend i'm helping my better half babysit No 3 sons 10 month old, yes it would have been easier to be working still.
The bike is booked in for its MOT on Tuesday, I don't anticipate any problems there.
Then i'm off on a long weekend to Scotland on Friday, organised by the Wirral Castaway MCC.
So I probably won't get back to the bathroom until 26th May.
As long as I get his shower working i'm sure I can blag some time off for the 2nd June.
I'll have to let you know nearer the time, but hopefully will meet up with you fellow wrinklies at Dom's Bike Stop.
I don't know about being sensible Brian, I ride a bike!
Although the two K1200's i've owned were certainly nowhere near perfect, they were the best bikes I have ever had the plessure to ride. Stonking engine, exacting handling & very very stable.
Touch wood, i've not had anything expensive go wrong with any of them. The first K1200 had a now clutch fitted in a recall, even though I hadn't found anything wrong with it & a new heated grip found by the diagnostics. I was very impressed with BMW after that.
Yes, it was a shame to move the Thundersprint from Northwich which was only 20 miles from Crewe. Although it was a bit of a tight squeeze to get a sprint circuit into the car park.
Anglesea was a bridge too far for me as well.
Last year it was held at Darley Moor Circuit, unfortunately I went & stood for an hour in torrential rain before giving up.
This year it's back at Anglesea at the end of May & now called the Thunderfest.
Anyway, look at the time, blow this babysitting lark.
Thanks again for the welcome.
Philip.
