Latest Happenings

Although I haven’t posted for a while, things have been going on…

Firstly I had a late summer visit to Lonesome, and had the grand tour of his new mansion. A palatial van conveniently situated with easy access to major routes (in a layby of a carriageway off the M1.). All amenities are available, including hot and cold running water (hot in summer, and cold in winter). But all seriousness aside, it’s an amazing place he has setup inside an old 7.5 ton box lorry.

The ride and conversation were as last time the perfect tonic to the weeks stresses and strains. The bike ran fine, and Lonesome gave me the usual warm welcome and we talked crap for a while and I headed home.

Then on 20th September the Z750 twin was again entered for the Wolverton Show, and placed among the classic bikes from all areas of the world. There were plenty of British machines, and a fair few Japanese classics too.

My dad once again made the trip up on his BSA pictured here next to the Z750, with my daughter perched on the seat.

One of the kind scooter owners allowed Phoebe to sit on his bike.

Unfortunately the Summer and the tax are both running out, so the Z750 will take a few months break again. Hopefully next year will be good to us with sunny weekends, and I can get out on the bike more often. I also hope to be doing some updates over the winter months as I clean and tidy some areas of the bike.

Stay safe.
