One for Grumpy - Out and about today, I saw this Vincent arriving at the steam museum open day, not too many HRD’s on the roads these days, it sounded as good as it looks. So many bikes turned up, they started parking INSIDE the museum hallway….

I’ve no idea why it’s called Fall, other than referring to the leaves off the trees, our Autumn sounds much more dignified 😂 Anyway, whichever you prefer, it means Summer is over, the rains are starting, jacket vents are closed and before we know it, thermal linings will be back in again. There’s a couple of seasonal bike shows going on here, local stuff and not my kind of thing really, I’d rather ride, break ☕️, ride home, rather than pay to see bikes I’d see at a bike meet for free. The big one is the Motorcycle Live in November, but it’s a pain getting there and over 300 miles in often cold, wet, miserable weather, and a boring motorway ride, so I’ll probably give it a miss unless there’s a few people to meet up with. My Bee is fuelled and ready to ride, I’d like a little sunshine please, bring it on. Keep your knees to the breeze, be safe out there.

It’s a superb museum for Hondas! And a mug of tea at the seaside too.

Only in Britain – Complaints to Councils and extracts of letters written to them: 1. It's the dog's mess that I find hard to swallow. 2. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. 3. I wish to complain that my father twisted his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage. 4. Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence. 5. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off. 6. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand? 7. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall. 8. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. 9. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. 10. 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster, and 50% are just plain filthy. 11. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers. 12. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared. 13. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink. 14. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces. 15.
