I kept riding as long as I could but when it was off the road due to an axle problem and I noticed that even a nice day didn't make me wish I was riding, it was probably time to give in!

I believe that lighting regs are min/max 2 dipped, min 2 or max 4 main. Not sure about MOT time.

The leather dye i ordered arrived last night bought 5 lts , i know i dont need that amount but 1 lt was £20.99 5lt was £49.99 so i thought that if i only got the 1 lt i would probably need 1.5 plus 29 quid for 4 lts made it a no brainer , also got a lt of sealer only needs i coat of that , glad realy as its £28 a lt and the price doesnt go down for any additional amount , have to pick up some 1mm sheet on Monday and 2 lenghts of stainless tube 2.5 in dia 60 in long that will be another swift 100 quid for both will add more pics soon .
