Peter's Voyages

At the end of last year I concluded that I’d quit biking for a while – or maybe forever? I sold my Triumph and haven’t replaced it. I’m getting older and roads are getting busier and speed limits are getting crazier. So, unless I ship the bike to a distant and empty place it’s not the fun it used to be.

And, I’ve got some new adventures to enjoy before falling off the mortal coil. This year it’s a trip to New Zealand and then Hong Kong en route home. I’ll give you more detail soon – but the flights are booked!!

In spring I decided to ‘get the job done’ after putting off working in the cold winter’s days. So I took out the fuel tank, fitted a new fuel pump and refitted the tank (a pig of a job). She started straight away ……

Then full service and a bit of work on the rear brakes before the MOT. She passed first time. Now to enjoy her in the summer months.

Here we are in another lockdown – what fun. Well my new partner brought with her a cat, some fish and an old MR2. The cat’s settled in nicely, the fish have all now expired (they were quite old) and the car’s quite tidy. However it needs a new fuel pump which is a real pain on these cars – fuel tank out etc – to get it running. But what the hell. And then I can start on really tidying it up. But what else have I got to do?

Here we are in October 2020. There’s a Coronavirus pandemic in full swing and I haven’t done a bike trip in over a year! However, on the positive side, the ‘friend’ I met has become my partner and we live together at my house. And we’ve been having lots of fun, even though there’s been a national ’lockdown’ and numerous restrictions on peoples movements in this time. Currently we’re in Cornwall at a rented cottage in Cadgwith Cove. The location is glorious as you can see from the picture. Bye for now.
