Another redundant road sign "upcycled" hey. Steve? :lol: Neat job!

I see an invite from those nice folks North of the Border arrived in the email box, for a trip to Strontian... Had to cancel on the first one at the last minute through being poorly, and not made any of them since as they seem to clash with other stuff in Yurrup! :(

Upcycling / re-cycling at its finest Steve ;)

Be good to see you again Steve - last time was when you popped up north and we ended up on the Ardnamurchan pennisular, with Lowflyer and the oldgit Andy. You do realise that its 10 years this April that you & I first met at Dover, along with jaques and cookingfat (Geoff)! Now that was a trip :D

I can still visualise you turning your bike in the supermarket car park in Carcassonne and trying to take the bollard with you :roll: ;) :D

Take care

Happy days, it's great to see a success story :)
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

just for info I'm progressing a carbon/kevlar bashplate for my 96 and it will cover more area than stock, use the same fixings, but be buffered by the bottom tubes so will take a paddock stand etc--long job making the mould!
