I think we Border Patrol orgers should do the same with the VFR
Sounds like a plan to me.

Doing alright, thanks.

Still riding, got a Tuono 1000r now, just had to come back to a V-Twin. Once you ridden twins, nothing compares
Also got a KTM 250 Enduro, but haven't been out on that in a while, not since Covid lockdowns and the BMW ****suit brigade spoiled going up the forests in SW Scotland.

Didn't go out much last year after realising MOT ran out in '21, but definitely going to be using the bike more this year. My daughter has finished school, (so I don't have to drive her) so planning on using it for the commute during the nicer weather.

Ha ha! V twins are just so addictive aren't they? My curvy is the first V I've owned and it still makes me grin after 13 years.

We're all good

Any time your in the area, give us a shout, kettle is always on & if yer lucky the missus will have baked a cake

Yeah, there are some nice roads up that way, must make the effort to go. Its not far enough away to make a full day, but too far for a quick bimble !!!
