What did you do today...

[mogster]

Was supposed to go to bike show with fella but he had to work so I went out myself.
Got slightly lost on route to bike event but found myself enroute to Sammy Miller's motorcycle museum, result!

Turned out they had a mini British Bike show. . I initially parked up away from display as I didn't think my S3 qualified as most bikes were classics. Couple of old boys told me not to be silly & insisted I park up with the other British Bikes.

Lovely laid back atmosphere & so friendly. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in New Forest.

Came back via Mudeford quay & got chatting to a lovely couple. Then bumped into really good mate who was there with mates on a couple of old scooters.

Home now & sat in back garden, & it's still really hot at 1800hrs!

Going to start going out more on my own as then I actually mingle

Just came home from the airport. Picked up our eldest, on home for R&R from a year-long deployment overseas. Five months since we've seen him... SO SO SO wonderful to have him home, and to be able to give him a hug.

Sometimes it's the little things in life.

Dropped him off this morning. Miss him already.

I went and picked up the replacement for the hole left from the shadow leaving.

22k miles, runs great newish tires, fresh tune up and oil. There are only two things to do with her one the seat is in the trash can in my garage. The pan was trash and not even for a magna. does anyone know if the one piece seats from other years will fit the 84 700 magna?? I would rather replace it with one of those if i could as they are easier to find. (read cheaper and more options) The other issue Is leaking valve covers and I already have them and the grommets in the mail

'82-'84 should work, '85-'86 might work and '87 and later are likely a no.

Thanks high side. My bike was supposed to have the NEW great idea two piece design. I already took of the bolted on brackets and it receives the one piece seat nicely. Fellow down the road has an 83 let me slip it on to make sure. LIKE A GLOVE. I am thinking i might just jump at the cushy looking saddleman seat with the two big buckets. Most places look like $100 used add price for cover might as well buy the Saddleman seat new.
