Been out and about on the 8 in this grand weather we are having, camping weekend in Scotland, bird of prey spotting at Kielder (Ospreys) also quite a local vintage/steam/classic show, various local runs, now preparing for a jaunt to the lake district.

Yep, plan to be riding up through Kielder Forest to Scotland this weekend.
I uploaded a photo last night OK - but it was less intersting - grease guns!

Don't you lot go using up all the good weather at Kielder
Im heading up there myself on Thursday for a few days sailing. One of these days I'll take a motorbike with me - its usually my bicycle that comes along for a ride around the reservoir - and for getting to the pub in Falstone

Rob, there's something you really need to accept. It isn't your little bike. It used to be your little bike but it isn't anymore. I know it's hard for you to hear but I'm telling you this for your own good.

Janet - Rob brought the little bike back to life all those years ago so in my eye even though there has been quite a bit more done to it he still is due credit, and yes Rob the little 8 rides spot on.

It's all in good fun and Janet's well aware, that's why she's telling me off in a nice way!
Hard to believe it's nearly 20 yrs since it was redone.

Don't forget who saved it from the scrap heap after Kettering could not sell it.
