Registered.
Got to get he bike sorted (needs a new back tyre and a service)

AS OVER 10,000 HAVE REGISTERED THE POLICE REQUESTED THE ORGANISERS TO CLOSE REGISTRATION. Initially the organisers had planned on 1000, so some drastic re-organisation of the logistics is on-going, and people are advised to watch the website for the latest updates/news.

auNTy V

AuNTy V wasn't used during 2009, all bike activities were on the Divvy 6, hope to get auNTy in the workshop soon to prep her for 2010.

Ryans Ryde 2009

A great ride out, a well thought out route by the organisers and a HUGE Well done to West Midlands Police who actively supported Ryans Ryde charity motorcycle run, and didn’t use it as a witch hunt for minor offences such as number plates or exhausts, or even running a “stop and search” operation! It’s a pity we don’t have a national force, and national policing policies as far as two wheeled powered transport is concerned, but then again why expect anything different in a Labour Little Britain where postcode politics is bigger than ever.
My sincerest apologies to the “nice” couple in the black Jaguar X type 2.0D that somehow managed to infiltrate the convoy of over 2000? bikes and got a little upset when inevitably a bottleneck caused a snarl up and delay…. some reminders to them:
“it’s an offence to use your mobile whilst driving…..”
“good driving involves showing some courtesy to other road users”
“keep your ******* distance”

RyansRyde Sunday 16th August 2009

Not doing much charity stuff myself but seem to be doing plenty for other peoples. auNTy V is still off the road and the clutch on my Yamaha Diversion 600 went when mixing it with someone on what should have been a much quicker machine (I'm don't consider myself a fast rider plus I was carrying a pillion, wonder IF I dare blame the clutch failure on her kgs tehehe!).

Anyways I will have a bike to go along to this (even if it's a 125!)

"Nothing happening!"

Apologies, so far no progress!

January, a slow start to the New Year

No work on auNTy V yet! Mainly because of a knee injury, and cold weather but my workshop now has heating, so next is a clear out and shuffle round of other projects to make room for auNTy V!

New blog for 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR

First Motorcycling task this year is Insurance renewal!...... done!

Next, is a Service, MOT and spruce up for the Honda NTV
