Not yet. It’s a lens replacement. £5k to get it done privately so I keep finding reasons to put that off (lack of 5 grand being the usual reason).

In the meantime a dark visor makes an enormous difference and I was just bimbling about anyway.

I meet the standard for driving, it’s just a pretty low standard IMO.

Cheers Darren. A picture of your old pointy is coming on Wednesday.


Did you notice the curvy has an actual seat now? With padding and everything!

Looking forward to seeing my old baby again

I know how it is, that was 2017 in a nutshell, and not for any good reason either

How do Mr Smith?

I might as well not have had one. Part of the reason for getting them both roadworthy was to do something;

A. Keep them both
B. Sell one and keep the other
C. Sell them both and buy something else
D. Sell them both and don’t buy something else

Still not sure which option I’ll take.

I’m reluctant to sell the curvy - mainly because I’m embarrassed by the wiring
