    Try battery powered Christmas lights. Look festive and will light it up from all sides by stringing them up along the corners. 4 AA batteries every couple of trips. As far as heat, a small propane heater will heat that small space up.

    I think my heater for the garage is 20kw so a bit of red diesel and 10 minutes when you first go in makes things toasty:p

    Great beach Calshot, I love watching the ships coming in and out.

    Shame the owner of the little cafe is so bad tempered.

    Extra day off today an all day bimble has been on the cards since the forecast looked reasonable before the weekend. Scuppered by
    1 - then with no warning, 9am this morning as I had the day off it was expected I was to take my 90yo mother to the shops for some Christmas shopping, 2 way tantrums ensued as I had been telling everyone i was going on the bike all day.
    Took her.
    2 - when I got back went to start the bike, battery knackered .... feck feck feckity feck. Had to go pay Halfrauds prices to get on the road today.

    Anyway the leisurely bimble became a 2 hour blast!

    Just fitted a new brown Burton seat to my T100. Not so much a case of kissing my a**e as mt a**e kissing me!
    Blowing a soggy hooly and even I am not daft enough to go for a test ride in this.

    Just road tested my new seat. WHAT a transformation from old to new in comfort.

    A bit narrower and usefully deeper. Slightly less knee flex but no longer feel like the frame is caning me!

    Today I've been 'winterising' my Speedmaster with mud from the back roads of Leicestershire/Rutland/Lincolnshire/Northamptonshire. Can't help but think I haven't picked the ideal bike for unclassified and slightly potholey roads but it handles well enough for me. And whilst the weather isn't too damp or freezing I've been taking the opportunity to spend a day or two a week out riding on roads with little traffic.

    Well yesterday in fact, took the fleet tiger to Brighton to have its winter valet and acf50, left home and it absolutely hoed it down on the way there. They said it would take a few hours so took this out for a play.

    First time on a sports bike for years, I quite enjoyed it, cornering was so quick compared to tracey.
    If you ever wonder what a diesel bike would sound like, listen to one of these on tickover

    I had a ST for a couple of years, a worthy but very dull bike and you’re right they sound like a diesel tractor.
