Be extremely grateful that you never joined us !!!

My ride with only 200 miles under its belt after full rebuild ran faultlessly. My.buddy, Paddy, with a proven TS1 engine broke down 12 times and none of the issues could have been foreseen. He broke down a further 7 times on the rideout.
Punctured float, stator plate, plugs, carb rubber. It was like a catalogue.
Ran beautifully all the way back home.
10.5 hours there and 5 back home and wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Well done LCGB

Thank you kindly. Can we have an application form to join the Wisemen S. C ?
I bought a T Shirt from you Toot. Tried it on over my other TASS T Shirt. My riding name is "Toot Toot" because I always give 2 blasts on my air horn. So you can stay as Toot and I'll keep my "Toot Toot". Good to meet you.
Yes breakfast time. Actually I promised I wouldn't mention it but couldn't stop myself from telling every body we met !

Once we'd reached Oxford and joined the M40 and then the M25 trouble free then we went for it. Bit nervy at first wondering if your mate's carb is going to fall off again whilst overtaking in lane 4 of 6 lanes near Heathrow.

I've always likened it to getting the Memphis Belle back home on 1 cylinder. Happy days.
