Thats my plan. 12hr earlies on the friday, so early rise Saturday morning then a 5 1/2hr trip down (unless of course I wake up and it's pissing down. In that case I'll just head back to bed, cos that's the way I roll )
A good day over this side of Gods Country as well.
Nights last night so slept until about 1pm then a bite to eat. Down to my shed and done a bit of fettling on my '59 Triumph 500. I stood back looking at it and thought 'why not' . I fitted the battery and the bike kicked over after two kicks and soon settled into a steady tickover. I then took it for a wee run to check out the work I've been doing over the last two years.
Steering..Tick
Brakes Tick
Clutch Shit
G'Box shit
The clutch was super heavy and the box had more false neutral than a Switzerland v Sweden football match. I'm hoping if I redo the clutch then the g'box will sort itself out.........
Once that was done I had my tea then went a run on my Bonnie, now sitting having a BEER........good times
Yes, I have been known to let my imagination run wild.....................*
* No I haven't. The most imaginative I've been is putting a painting on my bike (and it has been the same painting since 1981)
Probably old hat now, but here is a workaround for the shitbucket extortion

Works for me on chrome.
Thanks to a Britbike Forum poster
I appreciate that mate, but I never like being the guy that constantly says "Yea, I'll try and get there" Then don't make it............
That said I will surprise people someday and show up
The very reason I never put my name up for things, I would love to go, but with work and house shit, I can't commit to fuck all until the last minute
I read that as Bi-curious and thought what a wonderful world we live in
I did a couple a few years ago, but my last one found me in the middle of a few arseholes thinking it was funny to do mini burn outs or pop wee wheelies. I could see some form of disaster looming so slowed down to get out the way and never went back
