I have kept it quiet but I have been very good at exercising my particularly bad hand and today I decided it was time to test it out so I took the bike for an MOT my first ride since Nov 23rd
Not only did I pass the MOT ... decent place too brake lights were stuck on so they said take it outside give us a shout in 5 mins when you've fixed it and well put it back through
serves me right really as I had changed the battery and decided to change the brake lever too and missed popping the contact pin back in.
anyway 40 miles round trip MOT passed so back in the world and permission to get a commuter got to be cheap though
tabs open
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Good news Geoff. I think we need to organise a meet at buxton five ways café and celebrate with a nice cup of tea.
Until then I will have a cuppa with you now. Too early for beer

grats
gin and it
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Nice one mate, glad to hear you're on the mend. Hopefully you'll be up for a little ride out soon?

Great news Geoff, must be nice to be back on two wheels.
I'll have a coffee, just got back in from a run on the Falco.

Feels good, dunnit.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

definitely! I can drop your cans off too now that I have passed Blinkey has lent me some silver ones though the black ones actually sound quite nice for standard ones
