Wife day tomorrow sadly. Available Sunday though. Careful down those roads, I’ve heard they’ve suffered badly from the winter and that the police will be monitoring heavily also.

Nae bother, James….I’ll be in touch 🤘
 
Some of the B roads i was riding in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire today were not roads they were endless potholes and like the darks ide of the moon , and the stone desert in on sahara only more cratered and unstable .. very dangerous even at low speed ,
 
Hey, you know Spain, nearly, it's from my front garden in Hondon de los Frailes looking towards the village of El Canton, I love it here, the only problem for me is the language, mi español es poco ;-)

Did you manage to escape before Brexit?
 
Sadly not, it cost an absolute fortune to get here, loads of paperwork, all had to be translated into Spanish and sent to Madrid, it was the mother and father of all nightmares but it was so worth it, you can tell from the photo right ;-)

Sorry to hear that Mark - if Brexit is ever undone we will be across the channel in an instant.
 
No worries Ben, it's all history now, it really p!ssed me off at the time, it was a proper exercise in spending money, the most worrying thing was we didn't actually fit the criteria, so we had to pay around £5k just to find out if we could get the Non lucrative visa, fortunately we managed to blag it and never looked back.
I can't see Brexit being undone any time soon, more's the pity.

Agreed unfortunately - no transferable quals here for Louise or myself so we are stuck in the UK for the foreseeable - glad to see it worked out for you and it looks much better than Cotgrave/Arnold etc 😎
 
Satin black is the best choice for hiding chain lube splatter and brake dust in my experience

Wheel repaired and on its way back to me now. Simple repair in the end although it might need powder coating, once I see it I’ll decide.

Anybody got powder coating colour suggestions? I’d be keeping the rear black…don’t mind going lairy 😉. Realistically gloss black with a red stripe would probably be best.

sorry, should have been the reply to this

Agreed, a friend had a white-frame/wheels 900SS and the rear wheel always looked a mess.

Black wheels for the win, especially if (like me ) you're not into cleaning after every ride.
