So yesterday I decided to treat myself for 24 hours of fun.
And hired this ..............

Really gutted it ainโt out for its 50th , but Iโll get there.
Had to go for 2 wheels , as thereโs no where local I could hire a 68 Hemi Mopar for a day !!!

Cheers Rich.
Launch control , abs, traction control , quick shift ( clutch less up, and down ).............etc
Quite a machine.
The Coronet is safe , and missed by me and the kids.
Life is slowly settling down again , and I'll get time to get the old girl back out again

Stay safe , cheers Steve

I had a lovely 96 Blade (RRT)... one of the best bikes I have ever ridden and really Bananarama! was still tucked away in my garage. I got John McGuinness to sign the tank just after he broke the 130mph lap average speed at the TT in 2007.
All great this end ta... life is very good at last. Knee good, kids good (and sensible now), retirement ace, all good to be honest.
Will you have room to keep the Coronet at home?
Cheers Steve

Love an early blade. I do have a street fighter project in mind for one. But all in good time.
Glad to hear your sorted mate. All takes time !!
The Coronet would squeeze into the garage, but leave no room for anything else !!
Still got my old Zed 1 at my brothers, and tools at dads. So , Iโm planning to get straight once moved , and create a bit of a workshop , so that it can be worked on at home.
Claire and I literally have double everything from 2 flats , so Iโm expecting garage to be full of gear for a while , whilst we sort out what we are keeping or not.
Saying that , it is a through garage. Wonder if I could fit the Coronet in the back garden
