Hi one and all ,Happy New Year to you all i know its a little early but i though i,d start the ball rolling!!i,ve bought a new pipe today and some excellent tobacco so i,ll let the new year in with a puff of smoke ,as i can,t drink alcohol smoke it will be, while we are on the subject half an ounce of tobacco costs over £3 i think my first half an ounce was about 30p salt my tatties!!anyway i,ve been playing in the garage checking bolts over for tomorrows new years day ride out will see all attending at the reindeer at 1300 hrs chocks away and home to blighty REgards paul.

Might even escape the rain tommorow, forecast's improved.

Let's hope it's a good one with dry good roads no visualy impaird car drivers.

will be out for a New year spin tomorrow, FenitIthink on the 350 and cook fillet steak for lunch upon my return.

Happy new year to you and all,PIPE! I used to like Players whiskey flake in a round tin.Gave up tobacco when i started going light headed after being crouched down,30years ago.

we had a great run ,we made four out of our places of interest ,visiting my garage for coffee and cherry bakewells took longer than planned possibly anyway a pint at the reindeer at the end was very welcome atb paul

Thanks for a great run Paul, much drier than last year although it was wet and very windy from Holmfirth to our house. A good time was had by all and the cherry bakewells were appreciated, even through Cranky was trying to charge for them! The West Riding lads are a great group to ride with, sensible speeds, good safety margins and no one gets left behind. I've sent my pics to Kevin, so hopefully he can forward one with our branch report for the next Gun. Hope to see you all on Thursday!

thanks for that john could you jot me the name and and sizes of your tyres on the woodsman i want some like them for the HELLECTRA when there ready to change see you thursday atb paul
