    @joe mc donald I always use the "I'm going outside and may be some time", line and could not say, whether it is unsettled, or lunacy, but I know what Morven, (my Diamond), would call it..lol.
    Funnily enough, when I saw the first pictures of the Trident 800, I immediately thought of you...:joy:

    What a pair...;)

    @JackWS Don't encourage me. I showed Tracy your post. All she said is even your Friends know what you are like. Do you think that is a positive.

    Two things Joe;

    1. I'm a H&S person, so I get it from all directions, daily. I can handle blame.
    2. Should that if, not read when???

    :joy:

    @Regit nogara Yes i did. Please don't tell Tracy. All the years we have been together and i have never seen the angry side of my good Lady. And that might just push her over the edge.

    @Regit nogara Yes she is. And her Mum would never have let me of with the stupid spelling i did. Bless her. She was the best cook other than Tracy and my Mum i have ever had the pleasure to meet and she was so much fun and caring.

    Well peeps. I have the Honda now. It runs sweet but i have it all stripped to clean it up and treat the rusty bits. Have had to order some bits like clutch cable as i though i would have a quick spin put it into gear and the cable snapped. And a few other miscellaneous bits. As soon as i get it sorted some pictures will follow.

    @STIFFLER The Honda is a 96 model and has had seven owners prior to me. And this is something i do to all my new bikes. Just a habit and saves things getting any worse. It is just an old winter bad weather machine to save the Triumph.
