Ignore him Huw...........who ever heard of a sensitive Welshman?

:D :P


With the Rugby and football teams they've got they can't afford to be sensitive can they ? :wink:


Though admittedly coming from a Scot that's a bit rich, though we weren't that bad in the 6 nations this year, and there was always Archie Gemmells goal against Holland in '78..........

Ah! That'll be the side-pod flying off when changing the visor and the retaining lugs snapping, by any chance? :roll: Only difference, my gaffer tape was silver.


Spot on. I lost the whole visor and remaining side-pod on the way in to work on Friday. Helmet is now the quietest its ever been.

I've added some of Tracy's 'photos to our gallery pages. Go check them out here.

Any others with 'photos to add to the gallery, let me know. I've asked Julian for copies of some of his pictures to add too.

Cheers,

Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Chateau Flash, May 200!!!!! I know they're an 'old' engine but even so...... that predates motorcycles by about 1650 years! :wink:

Superb Trip

Well........

All in all a Fab trip. Really enjoyed meeting new faces at Chateau Flash and thanks to Tony and Violette for their tolerance!!!

Finally got home this afternoon after many a High Coll and Pass!

Got turned back by snow and woke up with ice on the inside of the tent.

Saw sunset on the Snows of Mont Blanc and Camped at the base of the Eiger.

Got "Nicked" in Zermat to the tune of 100 SFR. It's a long story...

3606 Miles on the clock door to door.

Maybe some photos to follow although not as good as Julian and Tracey's.

All the Best
