huge thanks to Thunder (Roger) and his good lady for a really nice day, glad we got chance to go for a ride together and see a bit of Northern Ireland.
was a long enough day, up at 4.00am to get the plane at 7.00am then ferry at 5.00pm to Stranraer landing at 7.40pm then the 210 mile "thrash" back home, getting in at 11.30pm
ker-nackered!
oh Roger.. it rides a lot better with some air in the tyres
Ahh well I still believe that was a subliminal mistake on my part to put you off buying her, especially after seeing tis picture from Friday.
Have to say it was a real treat with both bikes out together, never had a chance to see the g/s on the road or hear her for that matter.
Strangest thing for me though was pulling into the bike park in Newcastle and parking up beside an immaculate 100 PD Basic, the 3 bikes together were getting some looks I can tell you.
Was on a German plate and after a visit to the toilets to relieve the strain of too much coffee I was surprised to find a member of this parish in conversation with a lady with a distinctly local accent.
Turns out her husbands from Germany, placed an order for the bike when details were released in the press, picked it up from a showroom in Berlin and has had it ever since. He'd just brought the bike over recently as they now live just down the road from me.
The recruitment campaign for UKGSER was covered along with some other drivel so hopefully he'll find his way here shortly.
Nice to meet you David, enjoy your adopted baby and ride her for a month or 2 before pulling her to bits will ya?
BTW, yes I forgot the tyres but this may prompt you for the future in another area
