Friday 21st July

PCC pretty excited!!!! Just going through the blog for the millionth time. Toby needs to upload a picture of the Triumph at some point :)

Friday the 11th August

It's the last weekend before the tour - Stu is still undecided, which tool he should polish up and bring, but my money's on the Rocket III :)

well having just polished the Rocket III (~ big fella on the far right ~) enough to see my ridiculously large tour beard in the reflection I think the choice is made !

Pillion footboards now fitted for the comfort of my passenger ( pic to follow ) and a last minute order of a chrome radiator grille which i'm promised will be delivered tomorrow morning (hmmm we'll see!) its game on for an invasion of mainland Europe.

This girl is so spoiled !! Although when i said i had a lovely pressie for her for her holiday I cant help but think she didnt look all that excited!!

its polished enough to see your face in so Elaine wont need to pack a vanity mirror!!

Im such a thoughtful husband !!

Saturday 12th August - 4 sleeps to go and ......

.......Look what just turned up, woohoo!! Chrome cruisers from Bournemouth you guys are faultless everytime so far :-) i feel the need to justify its not just something that's shiny that looks really good it will actually help prevent stones going through a very vulnerable stock radiator. ( but it does look shiny and desirable too!)
