    Hi Folks

    Been away for a while, very busy with the bike club and major work on the house. Got myself a new bike, an Ultima El Bruto 1850cc V Twin. While the work on the house has been going on the garden was pretty much left to its own devices. Just basic maintenance really.

    Anyway, back at it now and raring to go again. Been doing lots of landscaping and am about to clear an area for a very large new polytunnel. Will post some pictures soon if anyone is interested.

    Good to be back out in the garden.

    Chopper.

    That's a beast of a machine Chopper, and a V-Twin as well (my last bike was a SV Sports bike). Enjoy :)

    Lots of raw grunt, barks like a scrap yard dog and a real handful to ride.

    Thankyou John.

    Must admit it has been a long time getting there and going without lots of things to pay for it.
