I saw the 6T last night - and very good it looks too.
Will has done an excellent job.

Today he and others are on a classics ride up to Scotland - so it's getting a good test.
Hopefully Will will post up about this adventure when he gets back .... along with some other bar-worth news :smt002

Anyway, my spy on the trip has taken a pic of them somewhere "up Norf" .... trying to sort out a broken Enfield.

That's Will's dad's Beemer with Dave (Will's Dad) facing the camera. Will's 6T is there and I think those must be Will's legs lying down on the verge having a kip behind the Enfield. The X7 belongs to Alex.

I believe they do have a support vehicle with them ..... so once they've unloaded Will's support, they might need to use it to recover the Enfield.

Spy's indeed Mr K :smt003

The Enfield was duly loaded into the back of the bus as after a quick inspection it looked like it wouldn't be a roadside fix. Which we were correct in thinking once a closer look at my brothers' gaff reviled a broken exhaust rocker shaft. He's already ordered a replacement. £18, including the block it runs on and postage from India! :smt012
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
