And all that (from me, that is) was from an abject Honda-hater.

The light is just fabulous for taking photos this evening.

PB once had a Blue BB (a Bluebird?) but that was a few years ago.

That was my pal Richard's, it had a slight mishap on the way up.

Apart from the stunning duct tape finish, it also had a gun-gummed alternator cover, but it made it home OK.

I was beginning to think I'd imagined it

Hope he was ok?

Yes, it was a low-speed tumble on my sat-nav's 'imaginative' route

And the bike will live to fight another day!

Been giving the Blackbird a service this last couple of days so Emma asked if she could help, complete with 27mm combination spanner in hand...

A pic taken with my new lens...

Canon 50mm/f1.8. Best sixty quid I've spent on camera stuff.

She sure is (a darn sight better than its owner!).

The bike had its MoT yesterday, passed with no problems at all - in fact the tester even said 'it's in beautiful condition'. Made me proud it did.

Lovely day for biking, and taking photos too...
