Sorry lads, I lost my mother on the 9th, was with her till after the end...17 hours and she left me at 01:10 in the morning. Held her until her life departed. Stayed for her funeral.  She lives 250 miles away. 95 all the way there. I'll be back shortly...walked to the shop today for the first time in 2 years so I'm pleased with that. 

Later guys.

Cheers Phil, much appreciated mate. After 17 hours holding her, she took her last breath. I didn't let her go until I saw the life leave her about 10-15 mins later. She'd left us. It was the worst experience I've had. Everything is still rather raw, I was very close to her you see. The old Merc drove like a dream, a 98 C200 petrol. 500 miles mostly over 90mph, it was flawless.  I'll work on her now, make her pretty again.

 Still looking for a good 465 frame and good airbox Lol

Thats great to hear, these days folks going quiet is always a worry. 

I am maybe looking at moving mine on, just have a busy year ahead with not a lot of time to ride, still got a few things to finalise , but will know by end of Feb. 

Have a couple of other things in the pipeline, but spent winter working on the house, so not picked a spanner up.

That is never getting drawn.
