And a good hint -keep the pix of your bike up to date good evidence of it's condition if you have to claim on insurance

Used Ian in the past too. Good job but bloody expensive. Go to stockport insted these days. 1/2 price and equally god job!

I'm up in Oldham now most weeks (week nights). Ta for all the advice from folks, much appreciated. Any mid-week bike meets in this neck of the woods at this time of year?

I've rented a room in a shared house in Oldham. Fortunately, from a security POV at least one of my flatmates is in almost all the time. Groundanchor fitted to the garage wall and bike securely locked away with an almax and anti-pinch pin every time.

reeto ceri jc, you got through passport control ok then.
so now that your a 'yonner', heres some useless information for you.

1. albert pierrepoint, the famous 20th century public executioner, ran a public house on manchester road, hollinwood, oldham called ' help the poor struggler'. quite ironic.

2. louise joy brown was born at the royal oldham hospital in 1978 being the worlds first test tube baby.

3. 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the closure of the glenn mill prisoner of war camp near wellyhole street. opened in 1939 it housed mainly german pows.

famous people from oldham.
cannon and ball, eric sykes and practically everyone in coronation street.

Coming from South Wales, it seems conspicuously dry up here.
