We still have the Bonneville bike - we raced in 2012, got rained off in 2013 and then again in 2015 and haven't been back since.
However a load of guys are currently waiting to fly out there again this year having shipped their bikes out , and it looks promising. I'll be
giving it a miss for a few years as my finances need to seriously recover. Although I have spent a lot of time on the west coast of the USA in the
last 5 years anyway
As for the change - it's a do or die - I was getting more and more unhappy facing that particular demon that I've had since I can remember
- now it's done and I'm moving on with life at a fair old pace!

Please note I am a Yorkshire man with a dry sense of humour.
Well done flack you only get one go at this living Job and if you ain't happy you ain't happy.
My best mate of 40 years well his brother his now his sister and the whole family is a happier place for it.
i was going to mention about taking balls to do that but even I can't go down that path !
I did notice the painted nails on one of your bike posts and thought that's never going to match the finished paint job !
I toast to happiness and to the return of fozzie my v8 Mnr is growling in the garage but kids and a roof over the head comes before play things and we
will ride again. I have made a promise to the 6 year old and that little begger never forgets !
Keep the posts coming flack some will look down there noses and whisper but if your happy who gives a damn.

Hi Fozz! Nice to see you are still here too 
Thanks Mel and agriv8....
People can whisper about me all they want - I'm me. If they want to talk to me directly then by all means, I have a thick skin. Otherwise, get
on with it... I'm happy, and TBF whether people like it or hate it, it's not going to change who I am

Flipping heck. It's like a reunion in here. I call back now and again and have looked around for your Camaro and bike. I can see you had bigger
things going on too. Good for you missus, whatever makes you feel most comfortable that's all that matters. And Fozzie too!

Welcome back, and as said above, your needed here !!
But what impress's me the most, is that so far not one dismissing comment, from friends here, that says a lot
We are only on this little planet for a very very very short time, so with the time we do have, it does help if we can do what we want

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Certain others I have been on have been rather less than accepting...  still a lot of hate around. But it's good to know it's safe here

Hello, guys. Well, its ages since I've been here, but I see the main suspects are still the same - (however 'different' they may
look visually)
Glad to see you all are still around. Its been over 4 years since I sold the kit - but I'll never forget the fun, enjoyment and sense of
achievement it gave me throughout the 6 years or so from idea to 'disposal' for want of a better word.
The one thing I will never forget, though is the help and comradeship I got from all you guys on LCB. Glad to see so many of you are still at it.
I have now just retired and I'm just starting to think about whether to embark upon the kit building road once again. I really don't
know.
Best regards to you all, whatever you do and whatever floats yer boat, Sera.

Steve if you are into replacing engines without all the hassle of building the thing first I can thoroughly recommend the Triumph TR7 which Im
certain would have impressed you as a littler kid if you are retiring round about now. I have had a few but current one has a family connection and it
goes like the clappers but it is on its 3 rd engine in 4 years, I have a couple more spare to get me through the next few years but the cunning guys
are fitting MX5 engines which may be my final destination.
Anyway just a thought

Thanks for the idea, Textrmonkey, but we are just about to move house (and area) so its 'back burner' time for cars / projects. North
Wales is the destination.

Where abouts in North Wales are you moving to? Born and bred here and still live here, with roads like these on your doorstep you'll need some
sort of fun car

As every generation that comes to pass the minor things like race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and wealth come to mater less and less.
Hopefully soon we will live in a society where it doesn’t even warrant the discussion.
Be who makes you happy.
