About 8 miles up the road is Brancaster - just a bit cross country for you, 'twould be good to see you Bern.

Just had lunch up the road from Brancaster at the Wiverton Bell pub. Very nice lunch had to book in advance though like most decent pubs in the locality. Brancaster heaving this afternoon but to be expected on a Bank Holiday.

I think it'll be a good few years before that happens, but the day will come, I'm sure. At the moment, as far as I can see it's just the Helix and, while they are finally going up in price, they've not reached the ridiculous levels of old British iron etc.

Ahhh bollocks, I didn't anticipate nipping over quite this soon,not to visit, but to go to the funeral of my old nieghbour maybe I'll ride over for a meet up later in the Summer

Shall we set a date in meets & rideouts for a Norfolk soirée I haven't been to sunny hunny (Hunstanton) for a long while

DATA, I'm looking forward to the Norfolk bash at the Green Man @ Snoring, I see you are down for it too.....look forward very much to meeting you, - thing is which bike to take? The Foresight is a lovely machine - two weeks later I got an equally lovely Helix !!! This bike runs straight as a die hands-off so my first Helix was a 'Friday afternoon job' that always fell to the left when the bars were let go;

Have a rountuit to do on the Helix if the weather can cool a bit - renew the CVT belt and clutch & renew all the 5 locks incl ignition. Not sure yet if I can get the Helix onto the bike lift - it maybe a bit long but its the only way I could work on it since I can't bend anymore - or rather 'can't get up off the floor after bending'.

Great news (after dinner) the Helix is on the lift.
