Thanks for the summary Pete. I really appreciate all the effort you put into organising these meets and info afterwards. You do a fantastic job. I hope that I can make the next one. I was informed at 4.30 by my 8 year old that her school shoes had a hole in them, so it was a dash out to find a pair. Tried ASDA, Sainsburys and Morrisons. All her size sold out. Got the last pair in Tesco! Got milk and bread too, of course.

Had the jab Saturday morning, Oxford one for me (wife had pfizer the week before), and was told to wait in the car for 15 minutes before driving as my insurance is invalid. She said the police have been outside booking people for no insurance as the time of the jab is on the card issued. She said they want some easy money!

I will hopefully get on a virtual meet again soon, just need the mobile phone shops to open so I can get my ipad fixed.

I havent actually done the kickstart conversion yet (its going in the 450) but as far as I know all the 3 valve engines are capable of taking a kickstart

on the subject of sheds, the vital importance of a good shed in a blokes (or ladies) life cannot be underestimated

picture for carl and apology (having looked in haynes I'v discovered you do have to take the clutch basket off, doh!) so sorry on that one

I'v circled in red the bit that sometimes gets abused (by leaden footed apes) it acts on 5 (I think) little pins on the end of the selector drum. it pushes and pulls so needs to be pretty much the way honda made it

credit where its due to our government (bloody hell, I never thought I'd type that line) as many of you probably know I fall into the 'unpaid carer' category, so I emailed the quack and they got straight back to me with a booking for my first covid jab this coming monday. so I respectfully doff my cap (flat, I am in yorkshire y'know) to Boris

I had a slight soreness in my arm for a couple of days with the oxford one, no headaches or flu like symptoms that they warned me about.
