Rebuilt and Back on the Road


After alot of hard work and money, these things always cost more than you first thought, Blue was back together and fit to ride again.
I brought him home for christmas from the FDG workshop. Our first green lane adventure was around Goodleigh in N Devon for the afternoon, not being a natural off road rider it all seemed a bit strange, to have the bike sliping and sliding all over the place and still be on the track. My mind kept going back to Wheeldon Farm and all I could hear in my head was Andy and Jim's voices saying sit here for this bend, stand up on this for this hill, and so on any way it got us through the afternoon ok, plus the dog was worn out from chasing the bike all afternoon.
Big Blue needed a few bolts retightened but apart from that he was holding up well.
Over the festive season i rode on the local green lanes as much as I could each time, building my confidence in the Blue and my abillities to stay on.
At the end of it all it was back to Ireland Motorcycles to fit the new Enduro Tyres from Michelin, to get ready for the upcoming Hare and Hounds......................what is a Hare and Hounds surely it can't be that hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
