    Err ..... well ..... yes! I have a long standing arrangement with mushrooms - I don't like them (make me feel unwell) and they don't come near me. Seems to work. And one egg is no bloody good to man nor beast!:rolleyes: Nearly got beaten by breakfasts at Whitwood Truckstop (Castleford) and Jacks Hill Truckstop near Towcester though. Both were mahoosive!!:yum Real bellybusters.:eek: Morning Stena Line ferry from Dublin to Holyhead had free breakfast for truckers (actually included in the ticket price but free for us drivers!) in a designated restaurant on board. Plates were too small really, but you'd be surprised how high food can be stacked given a little practice!!:grinning: Lunch on the Stena Line Belfast to Stranraer ferry (later re-routed to Cairnryan) was equally as good but was served to us by staff at the counter. The quantities were still generous though. I do eat healthier nowadays!!:cool:

    Seen it done on other Thruxtons and like the look of them. Quite a few parts on my bike have gone from silver to black.
    Have a look at the Thruxton RS, you’ll see what I mean

    Purchased a damaged tank then spent some time putting right a bodged repair made by a previous owner and then fuel proofing the tank with some stuff from Wyldes up in Leeds. However it says one pack is enough for a 25L tank but it isn't so I've purhased a second pack. Hope the tank doesn't leak and the fuel prooffing works after all this time and money. The blue tank (minus the bit I have removed) is available if anyone needs to make similar repairs.

    Purchased a second hand bagster tank cover and a new tankbag for the speedy.
    I've given up on givi as their quality seems lacking on their stuff these days.
    All in preparation for the black forest trip in july.... :)
