    Finally got a gap in my schedule that coincided with clear weather, so I took the bike out of the garage, put it on the drive and washed the shite off it from my last ride out... it’ll be shit up again on Thursday though!

    The week without the bike isn’t going too bad

    I took a drive in my "non Triumph" Honda Civic to the town of Ramsbottom in Lancashire today to buy some tasty chicken and meats from a really good but pricey butchers. I came across this bike parked up on the main street.

    It's a 1924 Vickers Enfield 1000cc V-Twin.
    Capable of 60 mph according to the owner but does not stop well and has a manual oil pump, cast iron pistons and one piece combined cast iron block and head.

    This is the owner.

    A pleasant chatty chap. he's just sold several old bikes but still has fourteen left.

    Just finished my holiday at the beach. The Outer Banks, North Carolina is an amazing place. Maybe next time I’ll take the bike. Dozens of miles of unspoiled seashore, an oddity on the east coast of the US.

    Glad you had a great vacation on the beach, @OsteKuste. Beautiful photos. It looks very peaceful and serene to me. And these days (in particular!) that seems like a very good thing. Hope you're feeling refreshed. :):kissing_heart:

    Looks like a fun day out on the bike, @Dartplayer! :cool: Yep, any excuse for a ride. ;) What a good mix of bikes, and a few cool cars mixed in there too I noticed. Thanks for sharing the photos!

    It's nice to see so many bikes in one place at a time. I haven't seen anything like that this whole year. :( No rallies, no toy parades, no bike nights… Hopefully 2021 turn that around!

    Absolutely nothing about bike but does the Lego millennium Falcon count?
    Finished and installed on the new stand!

    I made a load of Lego models with my son including the millennium Falcon... very therapeutic, they are all in various sized chunks now, following being played with and dropped... but he had fun with them

    I wish my son was interested (in bike and lego) but nah.
    Nice moments for you and you clearly still remember them so clearly great ones!
    I had "lego thumb" (as we called it) after 2 weeks but enjoyed every bit of it. 7,500 pieces.

    2 weeks ish.
    Not solid time but 4 hrs here, 6 hrs there (on rainy Saturdays/Sundays) and a few mistakes which needed rectification as you can’t ignore them.
    Loved it.

    Legos AND motorcycles! :):heart: I've never done the Legos thing before but I admit this does look kind of fun.

    Bit of minor fiddling with my DRZ400e before putting up for sale. This is the desirable e model with plastic tank, flat side carb and lumpy cam - still under 3000 miles from new too.

    Just a good clean and refitting of the rear light and surround after it getting knocked during the last green laning. Should finish it off tomorrow and list it hopefully.

    Struggling to get pictures to upload...standby...
