Took the Mog to work today and out for a drive with Rach this eve for a nice meal al fresco - 2 no. 8oz steaks with chunky chips, large mushroom and grilled tomato and a fabulous rocket side salad, a pint of ale and a large glass of red - all for £24 !!!!!
Thursday night special at the Farmers Arms near Parbold
For the first time I actually passed Croston village's other Morgan owner Vince out in one of his Mogs tonight - a dark green 4/4 4 seater 2002 that used to be owned by Andy at Lifes
Fabulously warm weather in the North West today
Happy days ! No fish on the menu Stewart?

Fabulous 86 mile drive tonight to The Wharf Tavern at Goldstone near Market Drayton for a classic car evening organised in the fields by the pub by the local Triumph TR Register. Beautiful evening with about 200+ cars from a 1928 Alvis to several Ferraris & everything in between. About 10 Morgans there but for me the star of the show was a beautiful silver Mercedes 190SL convertible. It had. Been a barn find in Crewe and the lady who owned it said her husband discovered it & overall four year period he restored it from a wreck. Unfortunately, during this period he got cancer but was determined to finish it. Although it wasn't completely finished he did get to drive it on the road 9 days before he passed away.
I will try to get some pictures up over the next couple of days. A brilliant evening.

The bike was great, everything I expected of it. I just need to sort out all the buttons and modes! Never had a bike with cruise control before!
The ankle was ok. Too swollen for a couple of my boots to fit but at least I've one pair that does. Easier with the seat height on this as well,compared to my tippy toes GS which put too much load on my foot.
Euro......it's a BMW R1200RS. Congrats Jays, great news that you're back in the saddle  Enjoy... ('Scuse the smiley, it's the nearest we've got!)

Totally empty roads on the way to work this morning at 5:15 apart from Dorset's complete complement of pigeons! I think I was either the first car for quite a few hours either that or someone has a truck leaking bird feed! I gave up counting at 40 and it was at least double that. Had to stop a few times for the dozy things! Man, you could have gathered enough road kill to keep you both in pigeon pie for months!

Not the Morgan today...yet! Picked up new motorbike and just had to pop into the factory on my way back home! Dealer is 3 miles from me...I seemed to have racked up 80miles! How was the bike and how did your leg feel when riding again? The bike was great, everything I expected of it. I just need to sort out all the buttons and modes! Never had a bike with cruise control before! The ankle was ok. Too swollen for a couple of my boots to fit but at least I've one pair that does. Easier with the seat height on this as well,compared to my tippy toes GS which put too much load on my foot. Euro......it's a BMW R1200RS. Great bike Jays, enjoy it.  I still miss biking, but don't miss the pain in shoulder and neck that followed even a short ride.

My Morgan is out of service with a broken pollen filter.
Williams say that it will take a couple of weeks to fix.
So it is tin top driving for a while.

I've ridden upright GS's for the past decade or more, apart from the odd Bonneville etc so my muscles are tuned to the relaxed riding position. After yesterday's ride I realise that I'm going to have to retrain my muscles! It'll take a few rides but at least it's not wrist breaking like my old Thruxton with clip ons!
