If anybody wants to purchase any of those mounts/bolts, there's a lovely chap called Norman Hill ( Normski ) who makes them. Rides an RT himself. Apologies if Norm is already known on here.

Went on a 247 mile run with my RoSPA group round the west coast of Scotland, including three ferry's and three coffee stops before the run back to Glasgow.

Fitted a Bagster tank cover

Fitted a Bagster tank cover (I like these, had them on my last four bikes, none of which were BM). Fitted should read, as attempted fit. Sadly this Bagster doesn't quite fit quite as well as it's predecessors. More sweat tomorrow methinks

Hey Easyrider, 3 weeks in the Picos/Pyrenees. Would love to hear some feedback on your trip. Especially the logistics of route, food and accommodation in these black days of CV19.
Regards and safe trip.

Cancelled my trip to the Swiss alps (4-12/9) as I can’t afford to isolate for 2 weeks on my return. Gutted as it was booked this time last year.
Thankfully P&O have given me a credit voucher and all the booking.com accommodation was cancellation penalty free.
