not much happening at the berger abode, a few days ago i fitted some freeby building site draught excluder to the frame on the up and over garage door . this has reduced the sand storm of desert variety entering that garage by maybe 90% , the bikes used to get covered even with covers on them. yesterday i took betsy on a blast about and ended up at brothers allotments , hes doing well with my fruit and veg , well i haven't told him it's mine yet but i am sure i will get some. he hasn't mended the berger build tank yet but he's a busy geezer. well that's about it but betsy is running very well and so is urma the yonda. OH one super winge for now!!!. i phoned a firm to make me a custom sized speedo cable for the berger build and told them lengths of inner and outer and difference between chrono and magnetic, i thought all this was understood anyway as they have been making them for years, first off they had written my post code down wrong even after i gave it them in policy speak and when i chased it up and finally received it the speedo end was WRONG!!!, maybe the geeza who took the order couldn't wait to get the payment in the bank and then back to his smart phone because nowadays those blooming phones are the most important thing in too many peoples lives, thankyou for listening have a nice day.

If anyone can explain women to me, and how to reach 40 years of married life, I'm all ears *pull hair out* *pull hair out* *countdown* *countdown* *shh*
That is a topic that even this illustrious forum cannot help you with.

Janet and I have been married for 54 years on  August 1st. I have been trying to keep my head above water for most of that time.😟

Congratulations  *eek*on your 40th anniversary .

Thanks for the congrats. I’ll pass your commiserations on to SWMBO.

I guess the standard (and safest) answer is “One day at a time.”  *smile*

Didn’t know they allowed you to get married at 12 years old in the UK. ;)

Just fitted a NOVA, 5-speed, high ratio gearbox to my RGS replica. What a transformation to the ride. Love it!

Taxed it.  Had to wait for the insurance to be updated.  I think it was last taxed around 2009.
Its historic so its free, its rare to get a nice warm feeling when dealing with any Govt Dept.  I did try to opt for 6 months so I could enjoy the free tax twice a year but they block that option.
