Default Owdo!

Been away for ages & will have a couple of things to sell, so thought I'd say Hi
Lots of things have happened since I've been away, got myself a new project bike (Suzuki X5) which is my long term project. It was my 1st ever motorbike when I was 17 (Do the maths yes I'm old! ) so will be hopefully, as new when finished.
I also quit work for a few months, bought a motorhome & circumnavigated the whole country, about 7000 miles, it's been a blast & if you would like to see our blog it's at http://www.huggis.co.uk
I'll be having a read on some of the photo posts & no doubt will bore you rigid with lots of rubbish that I can think of

The X5 definitely won't be for sale mate. I have a feeling that it will be put in the front room as a reminder of my youth

always loved the look of the X7 and always wanted one. another one i liked was the old RD400.

well done on your campervan adventure the wife and i were going to do the same thing but going much further and basically spending a loooong time in europe. funny how life turns out.
