Re: The All New Megathread
Pretty drizzly on and off all morning and still lots of flooding on some roads, so may be another week or two before Hugh pokes a wheel out of the garage. Getting itchy feet to be riding again I must...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
As things break or die I am replacing them with Stihl battery equivalents. Currently have blower and scarifier (AK series batteries) and strimmer, hedge trimmer and pole hedge trimmer all using the...

Re: The All New Megathread
Cold and foggy getting to the Ford dealers for 8 am today, but a caff breckie was a nice consolation. Went for a wander to kill more time and can report that the Thames at Marlow looks very angry...

Re: 25 years
I have finally worked out how the scanner function of our Epson multi-thing works. Hopefully this link to a public folder on my drive will work - it's the SV650 sales brochure I mentioned that we...
