Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.......
« on: 10.03. 2008 13:15 »
Yesterday was the calm before the storm, weather wise, as today it is blowing a hooli, as that Atlantic strom crashes into our little rock! But I digress, so back to yesterday, I took my bike to meet up with some friends down in darkest Kent, where we did a little work on a couple of the bikes, before taking them to the roads along the coast, this really was a shake down run for me, as I have only just bought my bike, and so It was an opertunity to find any faults, of which there are a few!



















So there you go, just a little pre summer teaser. Roll on Summer.

Well worth a read if you have any kind of interest in riding old bikes.
