    Aha, guessed someone would eventually crack and post something.!

    Have a damn fine Crimbo yourself Trev, not many of us left now, maybe we should have a reunion meet?

    My Beemer is feeling a bit sorry for itself, needs a new battery i think.

    But yeah, either day for me too. It’ll be good to escape the grip of Cabin Fever for a bit

    I'm happy to head over your way or meet anywhere that suits. I'm just the other side of Fordingbridge but don't mind how far I go within reason.

    Suggestions sort of halfway'ish: Sol Bakery & cafe on the A303, used to be the Little Chef for those with long memories

    nearer me: Comptoan Abbas if you want to see what Mr Ritchie has done with the gaff, all hipster with decent coffee but often a few bikes there to nose at

    nearer you (sorry Rosie, can't recall exactly where you, just know it's up North somewhere ; ) ) Ginger Piggery at Boyton, just of the A36 near teh Hillside cafe, never been there just a goggly search

    .................. or any other places you fancy?

    Merry Christmas to the last remaining inmates of the forum. Can't really make a meet-up, certainly not on road bikes as they're SORNed now, and due for some workshop time. Chicky's 790 Duke is currently on the bench, we've replaced the leaky thermostat cover - an issue that dates from when they were new. The original part has an oval-section spout that the top rad hose connects to, and this was the source of the drips on the garage floor - it only leaked when cold, and dripped onto the header pipes so it stank when fired up the next time. KTM's replacement part has a new part # and features a round-section spout. Many other manufacturers would have acknowledged this error and issued a recall to have the new part (?46 thank you) fitted FOC....
    Another job to do is change the plugs (?47 for two - who else can remember when plugs cost ?3.50 apiece?). After removing the tank it's obvious that a heap more will need removing before being able to get anywhere near the plugs - consulting the KTM Repair Manual only seems to offer the option of doing it with the engine out - a step further than we're really prepared to take at the moment.
    I'm probably off-roading with Jaydee next Wednesday, near Portsmouth.
    Y'all have a safe and enjoyable holiday now...
