Back up at the shoot

A couple more

my first legal road bike ( by that I mean, I went and done my test ), Suzuki 600 bandit, I think it was T reg

my BMW 318, I think I was 19 when I bought this, took all the chrome trim off and replaced it with mat black, lowered it and fitted 15” TSW wheels ( wish I had a picture from the side ) I thought I was the nuts with my massive 15” alloys ( this will of been 97”/98” ish )

An old mate of mine had a mk1 XR2 in black, I think that was a Y reg. He rolled it down a ditch on the track to his girlfriends dads farm. It didn’t bother him, nothing did, he just laughed about it........

Hope you are on the mend mate, I don’t have many pictures from my younger days and when I find a couple it brings back some good memories, I’d almost forgotten about the yellow Suzuki, it was a monster, it came form E T James ( welsh motocross specialist) road registered on a Q plate, I used to ride it around the streets until I realised I was probably going to die on it, so just used it off road ahh happier times

I couldn’t get on here for a few days , don’t know what happened. I was wondering what happened to FH , glad to here you are still drawing breath . 
         I went to a cremation on Friday for a very good friends wife . I don’t normally display my emotions ( stiff upper lip) but when someone who was 48 dies leaving a husband children and parents, I defy anyone not crack . 
        Glad to see everything is still going along as it should. I didn’t realise it but when I couldn’t get on here I was at a big of a loose end , I even talked to the Mrs and daughter, and went on a walk , without a gun , just the dogs and not even going anywhere, just a walk to have exercise!!!! Unheard of !!!

Site update SL, I too have had to interact with members of the household

sorry to hear about your friends wife, that’s no age at all

Illness and death certainly makes you reflect on things SL. This Covid has been awful but hopefully over the worst now , I am just fatigued and need to build up strength. Once I'm better I am making a list of places to visit this year hopefully if we are allowed and I must have a weekend stalking in Gloucestershire as never been before. Never been to Wales either so am going there too and will also be visiting Scotland.

I think with the way things have been for the last 10 months we should all make the most of life, it’s shown  us you don’t know what’s around the corner, I can’t wait until we go back to normal and I can go down to Lincolnshire for a full weekend fox shooting and I can bother people like your good self to show me the way of the deer ( I’ve just go another farm for foxes and roe )

Yep I cant wait for the Spring , lovely early mornings on the bucks. Just let me know when you need the roe sorting and we can have a look. Where's the new spot local or Yorkshire

5 minutes from my house, it’s not very big but there’s a good softwood plantation next to it and there’s always deer in their fields, he said there was 12 one morning last week

Sounds good , small places are good as you know where they are . 12 is a good number just give me a shout sometime and get a few grassed. Love roe stalking never tire of seeing them.

The weather is shocking, I’ve been rained off, stuck in the house with nothing to do so decided to clean a cupboard out, found an old photo album of the renovation of my first house and in the back of it was some pictures of my old rides. I never used to take pictures of my cars and bikes because it was before digital cameras,  so theses are all I’ve got ( I think )I know it’s nowt to do with this but it’s a bit of nostalgia for me on a wet miserable day 

they will be from mid 90’s to early 2000’s

my Suzuki RMX 250, think it was a 94’

my Honda CR250, think it was a 96’

my stunning MK1 fiesta XR2, Y reg, completely standard, I sold it for £1000, to buy a sofa for mine and the missus first house, I dread to think what that car would be worth now in that condition my MK5 escort RS2000 is in the background ( a car from when Ford gave up making good cars )

I used to have a Kawasaki 750 Turbo Stav there fetching between £15/20 grand and all the RD 2 strokes well if I’d kept them I could have retired years ago lol...

Thinking about it we’ve all got stuff now that is going to be future treasure it’s knowing what stuff.

Every time I’ve been there fox shooting I’ve seen between 2 and 7, they can be tricky to get near because  they tend to see you across the field. We’ll have to have a night after foxes on his land when we are allowed, he has hundreds of acres in different places, but are all within 5 minutes drive of each other
