[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 123510, member: 3287"] Thank you, Jorgen my handsome, I was going to approach Calle about fitting enclosures to a "D" bitza Comet as the only real difference between C's & D's were the enclosures and the weather protection I will appreciate more getting older. Just had a private message from Dick Sherwin who tells me he has the NH pannier moulds, so long as they are not wider than 28" as it would restrict my filtering abilities, I lost poor Norman Lord returning from Longs Dale annual we came across traffic so I carried on filtering, cleared after about 20 to 30 miles but about the same again before he caught up again, I do like to say consistant. bananaman. My message to Dick Sherwin. Thank you, Dick, my handsome, my situation is at the moment with two "C" Comets up and running, one in red (bitza) and a standard Black with only mod of indicators, but want to move that on to get the bitza "D"Comet the spares company have, hoping the difference in value will pay for an electric starter. As my life, the long dream is ten Vins, Rapides & Comets (exception "B"Meteor) "A" "B" "C" "D" and a Grey Flash (a genuine Trials iron built by Pat Wilson of Lawton & Wilson of Southampton with the chain-driven timing side) and finally a Lightning Replica that Pat gave me the cases for and Gordon Powell thinks were Lightning ones from a car. My son doesn't think I will achieve it before popping my clogs but we are getting there slowly but sadly I'm getting slower too and strength trying to build up again as can't ride a Vin yet but have got a starter on my original "B", 2024 I will of had it 60 years and been married 50 so we might have a celebration or two !!!!! Still flying but not as well as I use too but starting swimming again soon. [/QUOTE]
