Letter from America by "Alistair Cook's" stand in, Mark E.
New toy is a 1981 BMW R100RS. Went to the Vintage rally at the Barber motorcycle museum in Birmingham...Alabama! It was for bikes of the 60, 70's and 80's...was intending to go on the R100RS in style, Krauser bags and all...but the ignition blew up two days before leaving. Took the 2007 R1200S instead.... 1200 miles in 2 days riding! Not the right bike for such a ride
..it took 2 weeks before my hips started to work again!
Still waiting for a new, aftermarket,all electronic ignition for the R100...back ordered in Germany....:(
Having loads of work done on the house in France and doing a lot of instrument, long distance flying here...tell Steve.
Still not retired....will be another 5.5 years yet.....see if you can get some of the guys to try a trip to France and Steve can fly in himself! Could be cool. Will have a big fixed up house by next year...so, if I can still ride 1200 miles in a weekend why cannot you guys do the same...except take a week plus!
Cheers,
Mark

5.5 years? Looks like you are counting.
Well so am I - 1.6 years.
Reunions at Manchester won't be the same. I will no longer get the praise for funding the rest of the group.
