thats good news Gary... here's to the lockdown restrictions being lifted soon so you can get to work. sound like your going on a lot of working holidays in the future....


Couldn't agree anymore with both parts of this statement!


Gary, I'm really happy for you, in the limited personal dealings I've had with you, you seem like a really decent guy and you deserve a decent run of good fortune! I just hope you'll be keeping the SV, I still regret selling mine, even though I adore my Triumph.

My thoughts are that it's got more to do with the failure of people to observe the teachings of the chap on whom Christianity is based. I'm not interested in the apocryphal and bloody folk tales of the old testament in this sense. The teachings of the character known as Jesus were about living decently, compassionately, and charitably. It's a pity that some of these people don't pay more heed! Rant over!

Thank you Chris, you can rest assured that I will be keeping the SV. The new bike I'll be getting will be a company/work bike. The SV is an old and much loved friend and it'll be my main personal two wheeled transport for as long as it keeps going.

Wow. After two days away from the site I come back to this fantastic news! Nice one Gary!!

Ping up the website once you have one so us non-Friendface tyes can have a proper gander. An organised trip may well be a nice way to get out of the cabin fever, although I have a feeling Lady Poppy will want me to get her a bike so she can come too.

So made up at this. Thats my daily positive thought sorted.

Thanks Trev. I’m really excited about this.

I believe Steph Jeavons (my friend Tony Williams business partner in this venture) is putting the website together at the moment. It shouldn’t be too long before it goes live.

Steph is great. Around the world on a CRF250L.


This is sounding really good Gary.

Part of me has always fancied having a go at trail riding but I've never got round to it. The Train for Trails day sounds perfect. Just need to be allowed out of the house now.
