Today we begin

Today seemed to drag by. I was up very early with the weather. It was blowing a full gale all night. Very noisy. 5.30pm finally arrived. I got tea from the chippy for me and Ken. It was the least I could do since he was going to drive his van and help me collect the bike. All the small bits and pieces where collected up into assorted boxes and bundled in the van along with all the bits that are too large for boxes. The last lump into the van was the engine and gear box mounted in the frame. It was not too difficult a job especially since I enlisted the help of a fencing buddy Nic [Thanks Nic], who lives in the same town as the bike, for some extra manpower. All safely loaded and strapped down we set off home. No dramas on the way. We unloaded the van and managed to find homes for all the bits both big and small. And then a brew.

This what I have to work with.
