  1. Right, just got back from Cornwall looking to purchase next
    'Chez Nous'...Spent 4 days looking at 12 houses the length
    and breadth of the county..... Whilst there encountered a
    'bent trike (and rider), underseat steering and baggage that
    probably meant tourer. It was a very useful encounter as it
    enabled me to pass at least 8 cars queued at an island on
    the A30 (probably). Can't remember exactly where it was and
    even the day's getting a bit vague (possibly Monday), but
    whoever it was, if you are out there, thanks for the
    distraction and just to let you know, you were looking good
    ;-)...Everyone stopped to watch and I took my opportunity,
    whilst at the same time appreciating the grace and unique
    aesthetic pleasure of the trike and rider of course (whilst
    commenting to my wife that should there be any spare cash
    left out of our house sale ' I want one of those!!'😉 Yes, I
    was in the car out of necessity....and as a matter of
    interest, if anyone is interested, I saw a gorgeous Brough
    Superior being trailered up the M5 on the way back home
    today...I tell you, I almost (omitted due to family ng) in
    my pants!!!....it was a truly gorgeous example ;-)

    Cheers, Dave.

    What? Why on earth would you want to leave the West
    Midlands? I can't understand it.

    We've been going there for 15 years on holiday.....when we
    return home we cry. Our intention is to holiday in Walsall
    for a fortnight (or maybe a week ;-), once a year and when
    we return home we'll be laughing 8-D

    Dave....
    p.s. - I'd like to say I'm only joking but...well,
    you know....

    p.p.s. - situation helped by making an asking price offer
    on a lovely old Cornish manor and being
    accepted...apparently we've died and gone to heaven
    ;-), thought we were going to have to make do with
    a v.small mid-terraced in a countryside (rather
    than seaside) town.....and it's got a brand new
    double garage with it that can house both car and
    all 10 bikes, rather than spreading them around the
    house and shed (bikes, not car!!)

    p.p.p.s. - and our genius son will be able to go to a
    technology college secondary school (due to move
    from primary to secondary education this year),
    which is 1. highly regarded in OFSTED reports and
    2. less than a mile away......aaarrrggghhhh, it
    just gets better and better My wife is sure that we
    are due for a good smiting / smitting / <s?> soon,
    bolts of lightening and thunderclaps, possibly a
    bit of brimstone too maybe ....

    Oh My God....it just gets better and better and
    better!!!...as I said in response to Ambroses post ;-) I
    hadn't realised their location before, what with the
    distance / price thing. Thanks for that Guy...ooooh,
    test rides, full fleet available...I feel like Homer in
    a doughnut factory!! Just got to sympathetically restore
    a grade II listed Cornish manor house first. Thanks
    again Dave.

    Speaking as one who lives in a grade B listed Galloway
    former village inn, congratulations and enjoy.
