Has that old codger from Skipton survived his ride out?
 

I noticed he has started posting again.

Are you back and when do we get to see more than the sample piccy.
and are you going to admit to now being a h***a owner

Tim...Indeed The Eagle has Landed! He will be along to regail us with his tails of Dolly Parton lookalikes in dodgy motels before long I bet! :wink:

TO THE PEOPLE OF SV650.org

I have returned.

By the grace of Almighty God I stand again on British soil -- soil consecrated in the blood of our peoples. I have come, dedicated and committed, to the task of destroying every vestige of control over your daily lives, and of restoring, upon a foundation of indestructible strength, the liberties of your correspondents.

At my side is Pedro Henry, worthy successor of that great writer, MPaton1936, aka Bourner and others. The seat of your trousers is now therefore firmly re- established with British soul.

The hour of your redemption is here. Your correspondents have demonstrated an unswerving and resolute devotion to the principles of freedom that challenges the best that is written on the pages of internet fora. I now call upon your supreme effort that the enemy may know from the temper of an aroused and outraged people within that he has a force there to contend with no less violent than is the force committed from without.

Rally to me. Let the indomitable spirit of Hartside and Devils Bridge lead on. As the lines of battle roll forward to bring you within the zone of operations, rise and strike. Strike at every favorable opportunity. For your homes and hearths, strike! For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike! In the name of your sacred dead, strike! Let no heart be faint. Let every arm be steeled. The guidance of divine God points the way. Follow in His Name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!
