Darn, couldn't make it last night due to other commitments but was hoping to get up there on the Ajay. Would have been good to see the Tbird. I belong to a classic bike club and we are all pretty active - and we also use our classic bikes a lot too! ;D What classic bike forum do you frequent?

Oh yes, nearly forgot - Welcome to WB!

Hi Steve, don't worry, your comments on the vintage forum were not taken as a negative - I was just curious as I have not been on a classic bike forum. As a classic club we meet weekly at various watering holes around the Bath area. We ride a mix of classic & modern - my steeds vary from 1949 Ajay to 2007 Ducati. We had a little run (about 70 miles with nothing bigger than 350 ohv or 500cc sv) on a rather damp Sunday a couple of weeks ago and stopped for lunch at the Sally.

I'll try & make it up there next week!

Hi Steve.

Glad to see you decided to take the plunge and join us all here on the forum! I aboslotely loved your T.Bird... it was even cleaner than our resident clean freaks bike (Sorry Sam but it was!!!) Much apreciated you help with the "sound effects" for the radio!!

Hope to see you next week, tho be warned as Sam will have the Autosolv and tooth brushes out!!!!

;D ;D ;D ;D
