There don't seem to be too many owners writing about their bikes and trips though. http://www.searchblogspot.com/search?q=triumph+rocket Pity this one isn't still running:  http://rocketthree.blogspot.co.uk/

Ring of Red 2017

Hopefully by November 12th the common  fainting (vasovagel syncope) problem will have receded and I will be fit enough to get out on this run. So far I have been every year since it started. I sometimes think that I should support the RBLR run to Newhaven Fort but that is a very early start. RoR starts well after local cenotaph events are over and well after the televised Act of Remembrance in Whitehall is over. Plenty of time to get togged up and out. I ordered a couple of wristbands. Last year I had two. One went on Pepé's speedo surround and the other disappeared. The 2015 band is on the rev counter. 2016 pinged off somehow so I asked the organisers if they had any spare.  For a donation I ordered another one.  Then this morning I opened a drawer and there was the "missing" one from last year. Now I have 2 for 2016. One spare! ! One will go on the bike with 2017. Ring of Red .

As Seen from the Sidecar 2

Sadly due to the "common fainting" (vasovagel syncope) problem I seem to have added to my list of ailments I have had to drop out of the run to Paris. It's a bugger but health and safety has to come first. Hopefully I'll be okay for the Ring of Red in three weeks time.

As Seen From the Sidecar

I signed up for this charity run. The guys are attempting to ride around the world to raise money and awareness of modern slavery. I had planned to do the whole run but have another event on the Sunday. So will do part of it with them and come back on the Saturday evening. What they are doing is going to be an adventure beyond what I can imagine on a small scooter.  https://asseenfromthesidecar.org http://invictamoto.blogspot.com/2017/09/as-seem-from-sidecar-round-world-blog.html - spelling mistake courtesy of android keyboard
