Great to catch up, great to meet new folk. Pity the weather effected some... not a bad turn out and all good fun. One thing I do know... must get my podgy butt on a treadmill :oops: Haven't ridden a bike any real distance in quite some time plus through being ill a lot last year and far from as acti...

Plenty of tinkering this week although not much to show for it. Picked up wheels and exhaust hangers from powder coating on Wednesday.
