From Limebug. Couldn’t find a CSP one but this is really nice.

The engine has never sounded better, so nice to hear the engine purring away again after the winter.

Thanks. They are Pertronix Flamethrower 8mm leads from Cool Air. I had to make them up myself using a new crimping tool for the terminals.

A few days away near Derwent Water in the Lake District. First camping trip this year.


All the work/repairs I've done seem sound for now.

Lakes look fab Mike. Was great meeting up with the other week, I’ve started to explore engine options

 

[mike202]

Was a good first trip for 2023. Was good to meet you as well. If you get a new engine would be good to see it.

I’m pretty sure we’ve just passed you parked up on the side of the A9 north of Perth?! If not you, then you have a doppelgänger!!

Small World! We’ve been up to East Kilbride visiting family, and then on up to Glenmore for a few days and traveled down to Musselburgh today. Hadn’t seen a single T2 until today, and then saw three! The weather has finally spoilt us, it hasn’t been the best start to a week off, but perfect today for travelling / camping.

Are you on a tour also, or just a fleeting visit to Scotland to stretch your legs?!

 

[mike202]

Been in Scotland since Monday done four days walking. Stayed at Blair Castle campsite which was nice but not my usual sort of place which is less formal. It was handy for the hills I wanted to do though.

Some pics from my Munro bagging trip this week. Monty was great done 500 miles no problemo!
Must remember to take more pics of Monty

 

[mike202]

Another trip to Scotland Munro bagging. Had a great few days in Glen Shiel and although the weather is fantastic, it’s a bit too hot for me whilst hill walking.

Brilliant pics Mike
