24 bikes in the forest of dean

10 mins late to the pub, this morning, due to flooded roads and they had ALL gone ...

I heard you turned up John
Never been to Symonds Yat before, fantastic views.

Thought I'd stop for a small white coffee at Membury Services, £3.40 , I didnt buy it, that's very expensive

The tree is usually down the bank a fair way, alongside the river.

One of the cars is abandoned, prob after an aborted crossing. I was staring at it yesterday wondering if my wng would make it through .... in the end, I went round the very long way.

Seems flooding is becoming common nowadays, for a few reasons.

Wow, that looks wet, now its freezing
Went down to Trestans yesterday, they are very good and nice to deal with powder coaters. In Woolston Southampton

It was Richard Tomlinson's 60th birthday coming up so he got a cake well done for a great rally.
And sorry for my little route mishap, I got excited and found my self in front and forgot the stop at the Forest Dean railway

Anyway I went back on my own to give my donation, they then kindly let me see the engines in thier shed. :

I'm going to make a new battery box for under my seat,
Heres the ingredients.

Finshed sewing it up

Fitted the batteries light and my RCD type fuse, all went well till I sat on the seat, it pushed down the reset button, so I e fitted a shield over the button with a big of copper pipe. All good now. It will in time settle down a bit lower.

My front mudguard looked very high off the wheel ss my, never really bothered me but decided to do something abaout it.
Bought the stays from Draganfly that allowed me to cut to size then Alan silver soldered them.
Not too sure I have it in the correct position, it looks a but back on the wheel.
