Pleasant surprise

Having passed through Thirsk (Nyorks) loadsa times, I, for the first time paid attention to the local bike dealer, Teasdale, for its Italiano brands, Mv, Aprillia and Guzzzi mainly because I saw the guzzi I want, sorry I NEED! in his window.

This guy also does KTM, his stock is amazing. So, that is no surprise as it is a quite affluent part of the great county of Yorkshire.

The mv`s really caught my eye, particularly for the finish and quality perceptions. The dragster looks absolutely CLASS. Built up to a price... unlike modern Jap and Teutonic custom principles of building down to a price.

Not a GS in sight. That makes a refreshing change

Popped over to Chris' this aftie to pick up my BCR that he was kindly storing for me.

I think he robbed a couple of parts off it, to be honest

- noticed that the chrome rings around the clocks - were missing! .....

(Must check back photos, but I can't remember if they were fitted or not!

)

Anyway - noticed that both 4-wheeled vehicles he has now...... are FIATS and all his appliances are Italian too!

(Rumour has it that in a recent visit to the Vatican - Chris sorted out the Papal Condensing Boiler and now his Heating Engineering business is "by appointment to his holiness" )

Fantastico!!!

Passed thru Jed meself this afternoon - done the first part of the Reivers ride to Hawick then off down the A7 to Longtown. Was going to give Christopho a ring but I was late setting off - got no chance off catching him tomorrow, he'll be at Mass
