Yes, I agree. “Upright and breathing” is my best standard response to how I am doing.

Cheers, certainly feeling much better.
Had a little ride yesterday to Popham Airfield, nice coffee and chat, we put together a few ideas for next year.

Roger got into the spirit with all things Ariel with his flying jacket :D


Even the coffee has a flying theme to it

Choosing which Ariel to take to Ireland is simple. You take the first one (chosen at random) and ride it there. Then you ride it home again and take a second one there. Ride that one back, etc, etc. Having retired, you should have time to do this kind of thing so congratulations on retiring.
