Re: The All New Megathread
Found myself disappearing down a black hole of trying to track down my old SV. Not been MOTd for almost 4 years so expect it is a goner, but I reckon if I could find it, I'd be inclined to take it back as a project. Finally got the honda done and dusted.
Edit: Curiosity got the better of me. HPI checked it and there was a new logbook issued in Dec 21, so likely someone's recently bought it I guess. Nice to know it's not a write off! You well?

Re: The All New Megathread
That is indeed the million dollar question. When I sold it years ago, it was sold to a dealer here. I seen it about two years later at a bike meet. It then went a while without an MOT (and still hasn't got one), but the V5 issued in December suggests there's probably a new owner.
Wouldn't mind buying it back for nostalgia reasons, and to stick a stupid grin on my face.

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning all. Sunny day here but I shall only see a bit of it. I'm indoors at Chester this afternoon, playing in a competition with the silver band of which I'm a member.
What's everyone else up to? |

Re: The All New Megathread
What instrument are you playing, Gary? And what music?
We're away in the Yorks Dales for a few days, and the sun is out. The plans for today are walk, flop, pub, bed |

Re: The All New Megathread
I play euphonium (poorly!) with Porthywaen band Craig. I'm playing in three band pieces (Bandology, Hallelujah, and Strike up the Band) and two ensemble pieces (Bist du bei mir, and Frere Jaques Swing).
I feel singularly under rehearsed! |

Re: The All New Megathread
On and off morning weather wise here at Trev Towers. Might well get out on Hugh later on to blow out the cobwebs.
Now I'm back in the office two times a week I need to get back into the routine of the odd trip into town to visit the dry cleaners. Made my first trip there in well over a year this morning and the way his face lit up when I walked was priceless. He then "told me off", while smiling, saying I should have gone back sooner. Daft sod. How he managed to keep going when so many people have been wearing athleisurewear for the last two years instead of smart or business casual is beyond me, but I was pleased to see him too as he always remembers my name and he does a good job. Good luck in the competition Gary. For some reason I now have memories of Terry Wogan and The Floral Dance going round in my head...
