Happy New Year Mike,
Enjoyed the film.
New Years Day riding cracker very jealous, weather looked chilly but fantastic.
Keep up the good work this year.
Have you built a trailer for the Ducati support vehicle yet?

Happy new year too! I had also hoped to ride a New Year ride, the temperature is good in Holland but it has been soaking wet for days. Don't know where it is, in America, it's very quiet on the road but what straight roads there are!!!

Happy New Year Mike
So thrilled to hear the throaty sound of your twin as you are out and about...
I am wading through an explosion in the shed of Vincent parts as I progress through a cosmetic refresh of Dan Smiths Rapide... Reveal deadline looming Feb 18th.

Thanks a lot! It's in NW Oregon, which is a very large state and relatively few people! It feels a lot like Europe in many ways. Best wishes, Mike
