Do you mean Lindisfarne, I think not *smiley4*

my previous reply seem not to have made it - it was that if you look at the bottom of posts you will often see the flag of the posters country, this was a voluntary thing that would have been nice if more members had used it had

Hillbilly country, New South Wales, Australia:The locals round here used to have five fingers and a little scar on the edge of their hand where the sixth finger had been removed: Now, since tourism and 'weekend farmers', there are tourists with four fingers and a little scar, where the locals have got them drunk and chopped off a finger in order to graft a sixth back on, to maintain their identity.

I live in a big , corrupt, subcontinent  in Asia it's a beautiful place for biking -when you find good roads that is! I'd love to go to Mexico someday  *smiley4*.
I don't get on here too often these days nor do I ride my Golden Flash as often as I wish I could-being busy working out of the country. I have a shed load of bikes-been collecting them since 1982. Right now I'm in the middle of restoring my first classic ride that I picked up, a '55 B31 which was getting too much of a 'patina' for it's own good . Anyhow being into different marques I'm on lots of old bike forums, but this one has simply got to be the most friendly and best of the lot.

I don't know how many BSAs there are here in Hungary but there are now 2 in my shed. Only one is mine though, the other is a C15 or B40 (I keep forgetting which it is) that I'm storing for another expat.
