Out at Windsor, UK. Shows replica of WW2 Hurricane fighter as designer Sir Sydney Camm lived nearby. He also designed many UK aircraft right up to the early versions on what became the VSTOL Harrier and later the US AV-8B.

Yes USA made until 2014(last update of his website) @$1600 for the pair last pricing.

For the right price my arm could be twisted, more projects to get to with selling them.

Haggis cannot be imported into US, they don't like it and few other foods, pufferfish amongst them...
Didn't know if the govt was to point of making it illegal to make too...
Current Dem candidate has said she has the will to take away some things and do things that are an overreach of her authority...  But that skirts politics.
No good candidates

Glad you got a good ride and some good food in your tummy!  Cabin camping is much easier to make for a more pleasant adventure...you can control the mosquitoes easier...etc.

The haggis is made in Chester VT so no need to import it

The ride back to Boston via some beautiful roads (Rt8A VT to MA; Rt116 to Conway, MA)

Took a ride up SH55 to Cascade yesterday.  Valley County has been plagued by fire most of the summer.  Still smoky, but some moisture has knocked the fires down, with more on the way for the next few days.

I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on a longer ride across the border to France.
Even closed roads can be navigated here with a bit of skill. The motorcycle is running perfectly.

And yes, I still have an other picture: The blue one belongs to my friend – we went to school together.
The bike is 100% original and unrestored.
By the way: he sold me the red one in 1986.
On winding roads with bad asphalt, the baby-four is unbeatable. With his 750, he can't keep up with the little one. Obviously: I’m running Ikons and Race-Tech internals in the fork...
