My first trip out in the Mog was less of a success than I might have hoped and was just a short one to the petrol station to fill up, just to check all the basics were operating as expected, which they were.

This short trip was followed up a few days later with a call from HM constabulary..!!!! Seems I had exited the petrol station without paying for my £70 fill up.... Confusion reigned.... For the first time I had paid by use of my card and did not ask for a receipt, these simple changes to my normal procedures of paying cash, being created by Covid... That and my good lady requesting I buy a magazine for her... Seems I paid for the magazine only.... ..! Most embarrassing.. Double DUH..! hide blush

Fortunately I woke this morning to bright sun, and with my better half still asleep, I was able to creep out, fire the old Mog up and enjoy a quick circa 30 mile scoot around my local mix of single track and country "A" roads hopefully before SWMBO rose from her slumbers. T`was a tad misty in places and there were the early morning cyclists to watch out for too, but for my first run in a long time it was indeed wonderful just to be able to enjoy the rumble of the old things V8 and the mix of sun mist and countryside aromas, sheep in the fields and all seemed well in the world for me... What`s more to want..?
