Practically got a knee down there sir! Awesome stuff. Got the toe slider on the floor - not competant enough yet to get the knee down though  Only time I get the knee down is when I'm looking for a record on the bottom shelf Great pics, including the one where the following riders are wishing you'd get out of the way  Where was your track day? |

Thanks - it was at Donington Park Race course - a really nice track, very wide and flowing.
Will try and do another this year, but could really do with a trailer to take the bike on as knackering riding there and back then doing 7 x 20 minutes sessions.

Shame they don't use it for the F1, preferring Silverstone I guess |

I only went to Donington Park once - it was a Transatlantic Challenge, with Barry Sheene and "King" Kenny Roberts amongst others. Now I'm showing my age...

Today we visited the house of one of the wife's deceased relatives. I ended up bringing all this back 😬 No one wanted it and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I saved it all.     |

For some reason I can't zoom in on this forum's photos, but that looks like a whole bunch of classical LPs!

They all look to be in excellent condition too, some sleeves are a little worse for wear but the vinyl is very tidy. I think there is something like 100 classical CDs too. I'm fetching those next Sunday. |

Very nice little rig, the AR EB101 TT is in stunning condition.
Having just bought the QA 3030s that AudioLab amp 8000A? could be the answer to Geoff's (dwain dibley) amp upgrade. Well its definitely a good step up from his current Cambridge A1 mk3, if your looking at moving it on then it might be worth giving him first dibs.

I would be more than happy to donate it to his cause for a donation to charity of his choosing And yes, the TT is immaculate. |

Might be worth a PM to give him the heads up, if nothing else he could audition it for the cost of postage. |

This morning I had a test ride on a Triumph Rocket 3 R - what a superb bike but a bit too rich for me: Not the exact bike I was on but gives you an idea (2.5 litre 3 cylinder monster)  |

Absolute unit that. Very cool. Torque monster! I imagine rear tyre changes would be frequent and expensive. And as different a riding experience to your own Triumph as is possible. Buy the Rocket 3, take out the baffles, and wait for the "For Sale" sign to go up next door  |
