WHY ISN'T THE BIKE FINISHED?????
Well
it’s been a long time since the last post and time is always at a premium, two
grand children have arrived, I have changed jobs and my son has written off his
first car (he’s fine thankfully).
Well

bless her said "enough we need an electric car", music to my ears so the bike
went on hold and the car is moving along quite well.
