I was out riding myself this morning I stopped by a friend of mine who has a body shop. He hasn't had the best of health and he's well he's going to go in for a new heart valve. He don't know if they're going to put in a pig heart valve or squirrel heart valve they don't tell you around here. But he'll be laid up for a while but I did a great video on an old car he picked up. Glad to see you're out and about. I was out on the 1970 FLH myself as the 1980 is well doing a little work to it....
Good stuff John, the lovely A272 across Sussex and Wessex. You mention tied housing whereby a home came with your job. Years ago an old bloke told me that when he was younger he worked on a farm and there was an old farm worker in a house on the farm in a tied house. The farmer came around one day and just said pack your stuff and go to the council in the town, Tonbridge Kent, tell them you need somewhere to live. You're too old for me and I want your house for a younger man. That was it in them days.
@@JohnBain1st That doesn't surprise me one bit with the way people are being forced out of rented accommodation nowadays so that landlords can convert to HMOs.
Rode the 500 bullet to Billy's for MOT yesterday lovely little ride out , the 350 meteor is now run in what a fabulous bike even did trip to Somerset tomorrow New Forest for a friend to test a triumph.
I tell you in a few years I'll probably be getting a smaller motorcycle to boot I only got four of them now big ones. But a smaller one maybe a triumph or something something older in appearance or maybe old in general. Great video Sir ..... Thank you
Looks lovely all down those lanes John, good to get out.on a dry day, yes I agree i also hope there will always be an England 🇬🇧 but unfortunately not like we have always known, when we are being told, its disrespectful to fly our English flag 🏴 something has gone terribly wrong somewhere 🙄 all the best my friend. 👍🏻🖖🏻
@@JohnBain1st Yea,that's the worry John, what sort of a country are our grand kids going to grow up in, I bet Churchill is turning in his grave. 🙄 . Have a good day whatever your doing, its grey and raining here, so the bike will stay in my garage. 🤨🤔👍🏻🖖🏻🇬🇧
Well honestly if I ever buy a himalayan it will be called ...."pedro" because these himalayan bikes might not be fast but are nearly indestructible!!!,and they are just like a mule 😁!!!

I must admit that I miss my Road King but I have to be realistic. My best wishes to your friend.

I have heard similar stories Simon. One involved a gamekeeper. It's still happening.

Seems to me that an organic milk machine is actually a female mammal 😂 😂
Sorry John, couldn't resist that one 😉
Lovely ride out, thank you.
Glad you said it, I have been on the side of cancelation with John, so I have mellowed my comments for month to let the air clear. 😂
I wish I'd thought of that Judy 😂. Glad you enjoyed the ride out.
Oil! I heard that!😂
My thought was cow, but I like the more generalized term used here. Naughtier.
Lovely ride out John, thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Ray.👍
The organic milk vending machine gave me a chuckle
Cheers
Glad to hear it Nick ☺️

Cheers Matt. What did I call it?🤣 Thanks for the sub.👍
Great catch up! I guess we are all silly old facts eventually!😊
I wonder if we outgrow it Blake.😂

Sounds good Graham. I hope the weather stays dry for you.
