    Not doing so well these last few weeks...

    AJS – clutch playing up. Really had to get that sorted that as the moment you dropped it into gear you have to hang on to the brake or you were off! It's taken us ages to get round to sourcing the parts and I'm not 100% they have sent the right stuff now.

    Serow - I did about 80/90 miles on it a couple of Sundays ago and got a puncture from a nail about a mile from home... :

    Strada - She failed the MOT on Saturday. Persuaded the lights and indicators to work as they should on the day and she fails on the swinging arm bearings. Doh

    Triumph – We were enjoying an excellent run with Bath Classic yesterday and she was going well. Just indulging in a bit of bend swinging somewhere over All Cannings way about 60 miles in, when she stopped. And I mean stopped, we just coasted to a halt. We had fuel and sparks in all the right places. Replaced the fuse, checked absolutely everything at least twice and she wouldn’t go so ended up sending Ghost off to get the van.

    Ah well, wouldn’t want Ghost to have nothing to do down the garage… ;D

    Sounds like you're having a right time of it! Is the triple back on the road yet? I know of a little Honda benly that's being neglected if you want something to pootle round on

    The Benly! Now there's a thought! Chicken run is coming up!

    Ghost has had a quick check of the Triumph and reckons it's something in the valve train so she will have to come apart. rats!

    Triple is back on the road, Ghost has used it for work a few times as he hasn't got the F800 back yet. Well he had it back & refused delivery :P

    Still got the Serow as the puncture has been fixed.

    Not sure yet Toph, could be a Strada if it's fixed in time, could be a triple... or a Benly? :

    ;D ;D I have this problem, I have extreme difficulty, what's the word? selling? Yes that's the word, selling anything. Not even sure what it means :-/ I even passed the illness on to Ghost, he only had one bike when we met...

    Actually, I've sold 2 bikes in the last three years, had to have treatment afterwards mind
