Just
Catching Up
Having
fun with the Valiant trying to get it starting easily and trying to
avoid the rain. I have managed to do both for most of July, but just
a reminder of how bad the weather was at the end of June have a look
at this video of one of the events I went to:-
At
quieter moments I did discover that Pete is quite a cartoonist and
here is one he did for a bike magazine. His interpretation of twin
leading shoe front brakes. I know at least some of you can remember
them!
So,
what has been going on, well The Ivy has been out to another show and
returned on Monday, I've been to the LE Velo club night on Tuesday.
On the Valiant again just to prove it can start and run reasonably
well and I have now put that one to the back of the garage while I
get out and about on my LE. If anyone has had a look at my Facebook
they will know I was out on the Buell last Thursday for a ROG's Run
that went down to Hive beach for lunch at the fish restaurant there.
Very nice and not far from Weymouth. I managed a round trip of some
305 miles for the day close to a record for a day trip but not quite
as the most done on one of theses ROG's Runs was 322 miles. There
were 20 bikes out for this trip and our first stop was at the
Fighting Cock in the New Forrest.
I
was out earlier this week in search of some elbow protectors as the
ones for my Joe Rocket jacket had disintegrated and I had only wrist
pads instead as they had moved to the bottom of the pocket in the
arms. I visited Infinity Motorcycles at Hangar lane, they had none
suitable and left some fliers and then did the giratory a couple of
times to get around to the North Circular and J&S (formerly Hein
Gericke) on the other side of the road, where they did have something that did the job. I, again,
left fliers for the Museum and also received some in return as they
are promoting the new shop.
