Mixed results this week guys due to speeding taxi drivers (ahem....) and forgotten indicators, but well done to Siri Garner on the Mod 1, then today Sam Curwen, Alfie Crosby and Nick Richardson all passed Mod 2 :-D A few holes in the diary now, so if you find yourself a Mod 1 before I do, feel free to book it but make it viable peeps, Liverpool is too far........ ;-) Andy @ Northern Route on 01539 729765 (pic taken @ 07.15 this morning)

Following on from my post last week, the merch arrived so it's official - Nancy and I ride dapper on 17th May :-D I know I bang on about it, but it's one of the few charities where every penny goes where it should. Who knows, we may need them one day - hopefully not but.... www.gentlemansride.com Andy @ Northern Route on 01539 729765

Different one for you this time guys, I'm looking at moving it on to pastures new, so would anyone be interested in the silver CBF? Those of you who've ridden it know it still does what it says on the tin - meticulously looked after, everything works as it should, comes with a colour-coded Givi top-box so if you know of anyone (or fancy it yourself) it's the usual contact details.

Well guys, last weeks shakedown run gave me a coupla minor headaches.....okay, oil leaks.....but Nancy should be ready for next months Distinguished Gentlemans Ride :-D Sooo y'all know where this is going?
