Wow, this snap of me not holding a Beer Bottle is poor for my street cred? as for the weather being hot enough for vests, well we do get this hot week (on average) when the temps hit up near 20degs, that shorts and dark windows are high on the list of things needed, the D8K has managed a crazy amount of frame hours, I have rebuilt it 3 times it was not in bad fettle when I first gained its care, its now in retirement just being used on the odd day when I need some "Gun Smoke"
Ray, I hope things work out well for you on your Island Hop, London can be fun for 2 days but there is not many English people there, at the weekends there is even less, the Cotswolds has some good spots including Mr W.Churchills birth place that is not a bad pitch to dive out of first thing in the morning? the Queens bolt hole (Buck-Pal or England 1) is hard to get past the Butlers to take a wander? but Windsor Castle and the Tower of London are good spots to seek out, you will also find out what a load of blood crazy nutters we happened to be a few years back, this will help some when you cross the Channel and strut around the "Needle" just down from "Champs ar Less" (you will twig it?) as it ends at the Arc de Triumph (GB motorcycle) also please look up Padlock Bridge as the Bride and myself have snapped a lock onto it, and finaly avoid the flash cafe mid way up the E-Tower as a bowl of "Soup of the Day" comes up around the 40 euro spot without any bread. tctractors
