hi Townmates

Happy New Year to you all. Well the sap is rising now after months (years!) of following the UK escape from the EU and off we go shortly.
The T80 has been tucked away in my nice new shed but I might just fire it up today to celebrate. Plans are afoot for this years runs
and hopefully we have some decent weather.

Well I did fire up the T80 for the first time this year, no oil drips on the carpet. Away she went, all I need is a bit of sunshine.

I have been using my T80 all through the winter at least once or twice a week (other than wet days and salty roads). Just used for what it was intended, popping into town or even longer trips, did a 60 mile round trip to Long Melford a couple of weeks ago, for not just high days and shows!

hi JW
Most of my time since early November has been resurecting a pals 1980 Moto Guzzi 2c4t 125 cc SOHC twin which left me a last week so I did get a ride round my test track on a bike.
The reason the T80 was in the new shed was to make space in the workshop to work on the Moto Guzzi.  
Usually the T80 gets out on Boxing day but the weather was not good this year so I kept flinging spanners?
Weather permitting and less sore knees should see me out on the road together with my 1959 Norman and the Suziki Bergman 400.
All the best

As I said in previous post, I dont consider my bike a classic but just as an everyday rider, in fact  it can be a bit of a pain sometimes when i park it up in town i get remarks like " Honda 90 mate, I had one of those'

Hi JW

I tend to use my T80 for competitions and VMCC Tiddler Runs. Motorcycling is a "sport" for me, but it is funny how many people keep asking me if I have still got it
or " Can I have first chance if you sell it" ? I have a queue of people waiting. No point really the T80 has a new shed and sparkling cover.

I am still riding for 'real', although I have a bus pass it takes 3/4 hour plus to get into town (Cambridge) and then have to walk to destination, if I go on the T80 I can be there and back in an hour.
Even at 29 years old its still a match for the modern twist and goes.

 hi JW

That is what they were made for and I hope you ride on for many more years or until rust takes over?
