    Finally feeling a bit better

    Not really a ride report but here goes........
    After missing out on a couple of recent organised meet ups due to a couple of reasons (1st due to selling the Tiger 2nd due to being ill all week)I finally felt a bit better today, Phoned (who had also felt crap all week) hudders and arranged to meet at Jellys for a breakfast.
    After a fill of the finest breakfast of the Full English variety and many cups of coffee Hudders suggested we might have a dabble on a nearby track we knew......hesitantly I agreed...........anyway 6 tracks, a quarry, another coffee, an ice cream and we're back at jellys and my newly acquired "Black Beauty" is filthy.

    Not many photos of the day......but I'd have never got off my arse to do these tracks if Hudders hadn't conned me into doing them So thanks for that buddy.......Oh and the fags........oh and the breakfast.........oh and the ice cream (Not sure really who got conned the most )

    All in all a great day and the best bit...............polishing!!!!!!!

    That will teach you to look after yourself more and not get ill.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Glad you're feeling better DC though I can see why you don't want to get that stunner dirty. See if Mrs Captive will accept the logic of buying a ratty old AT to go in the mud, thereby preserving the value of the black one...
