Don't worry Steve, I'll bring my own tea bags next time
My thanks are due to you for getting stuck in, even in the deep chill of a January day, my help is more token than actual, with 'all' my ailments. I may be a grumpy (sometimes) old man, but the cold did nothing for my arthritic knee and seized back . The Chinese to round the day off was superb so I will be round again as soon as I can dodge the camp guards at the 'nearby rest home' . _________________ Bimota DB1, Bimota YB5, Bimota YB6 Exup, Bimota YB9 SR, Ducati NCR Replica, Moto Guzzi 750 S3, Honda CR750 race replica, Seeley-Suzuki TR500 |

I have thought about going "underground"....But as Dirty Harry once said..."A good man knows his limitations"......with maturity progressing I like to think that I can impose limits and stick to them....extra garage space just means more bikes... |

On that basis, I think I have 'exceeded my limitations _________________ Bimota DB1, Bimota YB5, Bimota YB6 Exup, Bimota YB9 SR, Ducati NCR Replica, Moto Guzzi 750 S3, Honda CR750 race replica, Seeley-Suzuki TR500 |

Your knowledge of your limitations is only exceeded by your optimism to achieve all that you set out to do...nothing wrong with that....if you achieved everything then youd be sat around idle with nothing to do... |

Well .....it will be 2 weeks today and I will be landing in Italy.
Not sure how this Brexit nonsense will affect the potential purchase and the bringing it back in to the UK.
At the moment the visit, it is just a sight and update reccy....but what...after that?
Is this the time for foreign purchases? Who knows and really who cares if you are chasing the 'new thing' .......ask Boris!
Anyway........in 2 weeks time..I will post a picture
regards

Blame it on Brexit......everything seems to be dragging on!

in my defence, I did ask my copilot if it was a good idea to call at that time of the day and she said ‘he most likely will be up for a pee soon anyway’ _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
