To All You Folks,
Hey thanks people - cheered me up lots! Though to tell you the truth I'm all for keeping smiling anyway - what else can we do?
While there's life (and beer) there's hope...
Had a great time at the Peak Riders rally, which was really a bunch of friends in a field miles from anywhere. Small get-together but good fun. Average age 58 though, yes really! And mine was the only Sportster
In fact, the old geezer doing the check-in at the tent was surprised my bike was new(-ish); seeing the red sports-style tank he figured it was a vintage Harley machine, Stortz racer style. He wasn't the only one there who hadn't actually heard of the XR!?!
Sorry got to keep this short, will put on a photo of a couple of minor purchases I've made this year next time, all being well,
Ride safe,
Ian
P.S. Nice to hear about Canterbury, Big R! Got to admit, I like to think I've been round most corners of the UK, but it's a place I've never been to stay, only passed though. The weather here's no better though!
P.P.S. Got one more major rally booked this year, the 'Thunder In The Glens', Aviemore, Scotland. Thoroughly recommend it if any of you people want to go to a great meeting in the UK. I went for the first time last year, and don't intend to miss it in any year to come as long as I can put petrol in the tank...
