.. And there's not much more...

... Not a lot to report this week.  Mugabe has now been serviced and thankfully not too much wrong with it... just a few minor issues with fiddly bits (aka engine stuff).  Next item is the MOT - fingers crossed for that.  I have now managed to get in touch with a short-legged XRV750 rider that would benefit from my lowered Corbin Seat that I don't want.   He is going to send his by post and we will swap it.

Planning for the Oz trip with Debs goes on but so does the planning for USA in 2016/17.... in between I have to sort out a trip to Morocco with Dave but that might end up as a fly-ride type visit..

I still have a couple of events this year to attend - there is the Adventure Travel Film Festival in August at Sherborne and the following weekend is the "ZEN and the art of Cider" in Somerset.
There is also the Adventure Overland Event at Stratford-upon-Avon in late September but also the HUBB Mini meet in Cumbria but I am not sure that I have the holiday-time left for that - and it's a long way just for a weekend.   God I wish I could retire soon.   Mind you I should try to avoid the "too" commercial and too BIG events.  

Of course there is also the Auto-jumble at Beaulieu soon and lastly the Motorcycle Show at the NEC in December !!!

63 years old in September - bugger...

I am still reading loads of books - and have just started on Graham Field's "Ureka" - which is really rather good and I am really enjoying it...  I must get my Reading/Read list up-to-date....



Now does my bum look big in this !!! 2ltr Turbo charged VW engine !!

Best get back to work I suppose....
