Your telling me our great Lord Horatio was Teetotal, i can understand today with the woke brigade attitudes, but surely not then.
The clue might be the present tense, “he doesn’t drink”, so a play on words, not Lord Nelson but our very own Nelson. Andy
Hill Climb today. After the event finished we all walked down the hill and saw this ! I suppose they had to wait until the event was over to drag it out.
I didn't have a plan today which made a change for me, no road riding today but i did bump start this XL250 down the drive which surprised me as the fecker just wouldn't kickover. i bought it from a friend back in 2013 for £400 and yes that's way too much for scrap metal values back in the day. i stripped it down and proceded with powdercoating the frame & swingarm plus other metal objects, painting was taken care by someone in the Holmethorpe industrial estate, can you spot the mistake,? A few months later the 916 came along, so the thing was parked up for a very long period until now. the last time i rode it was at the friends paddock area back in 2003 ish which i enjoyed hence why i purchased it from him. anyway i spent quite a bit of time on it today floating around the apple orchard & what a hoot it was....more fun than sex.!
Plan was: tax monster. Take monster out. Turned out with take vdub out, head to J&S Cheltenham to try on 1 piece suits then down to swing megastore for the same. Nearly bought rst airbag suit til salesman talked me out of it at J&S, the guy at Swindon was far more knowledgeable. Now to do some research on airbag costa and suits….
Started putting the Stag back together after some timing chain work, got too hot so sacked it off. Watched the 2nd WSB race instead
A friend didn't fancy a ride out in this sweathouse today when i texted this morning, so another play on the XL plus an icecream for the waistline.
