New Harley?
Doh! Of course. I need holiday!
Selling the beemer Molly?
No. It's a great bike. Far more capable than me. I have added to the garage though. And I have a very, very wonderful wife. She let me raid the reno fund. I'll drip it back but it might take a while.

Won't influence the reno really. That's covered.
We've some heavy subdivision costs in a year or two though. And a subsequent build if the Mrs gets her way. Christ, I'm not looking forward to that.

Very happy for you Brian. I’ve enjoyed my time with it, but it’s going to enjoy your big long roads better than our short windy ones!

MiL coming to stay permanently? It'll take more that a Harley to make up for that!

If you start practicing on the beemer Molly then you should be able to lift the Harley when it arrives!

Had meant to be saving my pennies but a cheap M9 popped up and I couldn't resist. Can't go too wrong with those!
Loving it so far

I've got a wodge of second hand vinyl records due to arrive today, I wonder what the odds of them actually arriving today or more likely being delayed till tomorrow when the whole family will be around to witness their arrival?
be so much easier if they arrived in the next couple of hours before the wife and kids get in from work

Some of Mr Glyn's new Attitude pickups. For the Baritone build, but they may end up in the tele..

Lots of fretwire from Brisbane. Ordered last week, says it is in local depot today. Should be here tomorrow. That would be very quick imo.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
