@ Hedgetrimmer


Well I went to see the Flying Scotsman today but it was a rest day...will try again tomorrow.
In the meantime I think you will like this...

Something of the dragon emerging from it's lair as it exited the shed there. Hard to believe these monsters were once everyday sights when you watch them now. Red98 has actual real memories of them  :eek


But there again, he remembers when he saw the first chariot the Romans brought over  :lol

The van is white so as not to raise any sheepish suspicions.

It is also still just a van at the moment but I have grand plans....and they include the bike still.

been a bit too busy at noggy HQ....not much time for anything.

The bike went into the stealers about 3 months ago....still there......I did say I wasn't in a rush.....but I didn't mean to take 3 months on it :rolleyes
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

For Hedgetrimmer  :D


Cheers for those, interesting  :thumbup


It's not that I'm a bona fide trainspotter, but those big ol' steam locos are just very impressive bits of kit, and there's something of patriotism in this particular one, with all it represents. Magnificent beast!

You're welcome.... Didn't expect to get on board but I was at the right place at the right moment! I'm not a trainspotter either but did have the Flying Scotsman on my Hornby trainset about 45 years ago!
They said it's number was its official number whilst under British Rail livery.

Went up to Blackpool and bought this. Spent the rest of the afternoon riding round to my mates and showing it off. Its lovely, doesn't vibrate, handles, stops well, very chuckable, and FAST (for a cruiser).

Great looking bike , gonna be taking a Harley out for a demo Saturday .

Went up to Blackpool and bought this. Spent the rest of the afternoon riding round to my mates and showing it off. Its lovely, doesn't vibrate, handles, stops well, very chuckable, and FAST (for a cruiser).
