Meanwhile in the wild & humming downtown metropolis that is Hartley Wintney … big moves are afoot …

Open car, no heater, low temperatures, skittish slimy road, dazzling low sun, frightened freezing traffic - yet … so much fun! Big Bikers will concur - full face helmet, balaclava if you insist, good outdoor clothing and decent driving boots, a trip focal point in mind - preferably with coffee & cake as arrival incentive, your spare half-day at the wheel, wearing your N1a snug-as-a-bug - takes off as an event of it’s own!

It shares your every bidding like the loyalist of dogs.

So we have been finding on out winter jaunts out & about. Smell the mist, feel it, watch it, work it out but - experience the BUZZZZZ … Each trip brings back queries of minor adjustments, trimming the characteristic to suit us, tailoring just so.

More that that, we must get on, get this project OUT THERE - SHARED. The overriding thoughts thoughts over the hot chocolate - how to speed up all this lengthy gestation period. Like we said - big moves are afoot. More folk must soon get their fill … camaraderie beyond …
