Seasons Greetings to y'all.


Busy year with little time to post and no bike until recently.

I have gone to the comfy side buying a Yamaha VXZ1200 venture. (Harley copy I know).

1- Cheap enough not to worry to much if it gets dropped
2) Big enough to carry Sharon so she can get involved .
3)  Old enough to farkle and add bits and pieces without effecting value.
4) Existing panniers to add junk.

What else happened in the past few months?

Moved house and spent every spare moment decorating etc:

Bought a new van

Got busy at work.

Missed all the Chunky Tread BAC events due to above

Merry Xmas to you all and a great new year.

Facebook page changed from Roadto manchester due to FB rules. Now under

Manchester in shock

yesterday a young lad blew himself up in the name of Islam.
22 years young his leaders convinced him that me would be a martyr. He is simply dead. Along with him 22 people died , children, wives, mothers, fathers.
Nothing gained, he is dead. No virgins waiting, no fame no future.

I can say nothing else other than the cause he was murdering for has no future. We managed the bombing of world wars, we survived the IRA and one stupid kid takes life for nothing.
