So in December 2018 I realised how much sh#t I had in my garage. Sell, ship, or dump ?

Not the V4s of course.

Bit sort of stuffed with travel restrictions at the moment. Here in beautiful Ireland right now.

In Ireland resting. Can't travel to Asia for the moment. Waiting upon French pension. Check in here in about 20 years, I'll either have the pension or be completely mummified.

A total saint , full of patience.

Never thought I'd be unhappy to be sequestered in Ireland, but here I am. All OK with you ?

Good to hear that you're still onboard Kev.
We were concerned that you may have been social distancing in a Bali lockup.
Hope all is good mate.  ;D
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

A DJ at an Irish wedding asked all the men at the reception to stand next to the person that has made their life such a joy before they commence the bridal waltz..................................The barman was nearly crushed to death. ;D

Mick and Kevin were sitting in the pub after more than a few pints and quarts, when Kev, in a sudden bout of melancholy, asked Mick to swear to pour a bottle of the finest Irish whiskey over his grave when he died. Mick rubbed his chin for a second in thought, then answered "Sure mate, but would you mind if I filtered it through my kidneys first?".....

Two Irish brothers in the pub the night before they both emigrate, one to Australia and one to the U.S. 'Let's make a deal where if were drinking a pint in the new country, we'll also drink a pint for our missed brother .' Grand. So the lad in Australia goes into his local and orders two pints and sips one and the other until gone. He comes back every day and repeats the process. Eventually the barman says; ' What's up with ordering the two pints at a time Paddy ? ' Paddy explains the pact he made with his brother. This routine continues for several weeks until Paddy come in and orders one pint. The barman concerned says ' oh no, did your brother pass away ?' No, says Paddy, I gave up drinking .

If only the dreaded CV19 would go away , I could be on my way to Asia, but Bats and Pangolins are causing me grief.

So in the meantime, I've given a lot of TLC to an NSR250 that I have here

It will be a sweet bike when I'm done with it.
