Message to Mods - would it be better if my last two posts, together with classic33's reply, be moved to the Vintage and Classic Bikes section?

Let us know if that part was accurate.
I have just driven home and the traffic was really heavy.
Happy retirement to you.

Motor traffic was light but I forgot to factor in the effect of good weather and holidays on pedestrian traffic. I cut through Jesmond Dene and the Quayside on my way home and both were mobbed. Was a frustrating ride to the other side of the Tyne. I've come to w*rk on the motorbike today but I'll get a sharp finish and get in a bike ride this afternoon away from the mobs in the Toon.

Morning all. Lazy lie in, then hitching up to tow home. Tis a bit frosty out there at the mo.
Last night in the van this year - making 90 in total.^_^
We'll be looking at changing the car early next year for something with a bigger towing capacity. We like the diesel engined Mk2 version of the Honda CRV. We're looking at keeping it for a couple of years to see how we get on with that type of vehicle and to see which way the wind is blowing when I get the state pension. Once we've sorted the car, we'll be looking at a slightly bigger caravan with better onboard toilet and shower facilities so we can go off grid a bit more. We've got some longer trips away planned for next year, so a better rig won't go amiss.:okay:
