Been thinking about it for a while but still can't decide  :\

I think I'd prefer to do a decent ride out, done more or less that route twice last week. But I seem to have been everywhere that's interesting within day-ride area  :lol

Ah sod it, why not? I'm up for it  :)

Advance tickets for this event were £10. Usual museum entry £14, so I figure about that.

Shame you couldn't make it Jase. But what's all this about a choke cable; yours is Ivanised isn't it, so Y U need choke?!

True Nick... My bike's not been right for the last 12 months; inconsistent running, cutting out and starting especially!
Seems like it's sorted now as turned out it was the alarm; however it still didn't like starting like it used to for some reason.  :\
Then Sunday the choke cable snapped and I felt I had to fix it straight away. I'm a bit OCD with things like this!
Starting now is effortless. I now believe the sticking now snapped choke cable contributed to the temperamental starting...  :rolleyes
 
Hope to see you on the next ride out. Gutted I missed this one. Was it a good day?
