On Satuday we drove down to Barnard Castle to pick up the H1 that Jackie was buying from Androu (Andrew). A nice run down the A68, a road I haven't used for years.
After a little deviation via Stockton to drop of a broken down scooter and its rider we arrived about 2 hours later than planned.
After enjoying a chat and a cup of tea in the sunshine it was time to load the bike and head for home.
Coming up the M6 we passed a Ford Capri and both commented that you don't see them around much. Second good deed of the day was helping the guy in the Capri to change a front tyre. The jack supplied with the car looked lke it beonged to a Tranist or similar. He had picked the car up in Manchester earlier in the day and was heading back to Rosyth and made it a couple of miles passed the Abington services and on to the Biggar road before the tyre collapsed.
Sunday was the first ride on the latest acquisition. After a few miles Jackie relented and had a go on 'her' new bike. Just as well you don't get far on a tankfull of petrol or I don't think we would have gotten feed that day. I then got talked into taking the H1 out again at 10pm,never mind the fact that I was working on Monday.
I think it fair to say Jackie is really happy with bike as it pulls clean down through the range with a kick when wound up.
Cheers Andrew for selling such a good machine.
Only problem now is the garage is bit cramped.
