It must be the weather ......... I also bought another motorbike today ..... the T120R I mentioned, I have no photos as it is still with the guy looking after it, But will post one when it gets here, the pic will be from a distance as it's a proper oily rag . started 2nd kick from cold with no smoke has a really good oil return and no leaks that I could see, also no gasket cement smeared anywhere, Apparently it didn't get ridden much as the owner was into his Harleys, The oil is as black as the Ace of spades and it has the loudest reverse cone mega's I've heard in a long time, New chain, battery and electronic ignition, carbs rebuilt and balanced` so i'll be happy for now just tinkering and fettling it a bit,

Beginning of autumn is a strange time for buying a bike, but that's just what I did as well... 😝
After selling both my Harley and the BMW, I planned on quitting biking for good, but alas, you know how quickly some people's minds change (OH LOOK: A SQUIRREL!!!)

I always wondered, how my dad felt on his Horex Regina 350...
Here you see his younger brother on it in the 50s:

So I got me a bike with almost the same specs...

Cannot put in words how much fun it is to ride! Even though I went down from 152 Hp to 20 😂
And this single-cylinder sound... It just captured my heart. ♥️

"Hey" @Capt. Drunkey I was just thinking, you should have got the Pegasus version of the 350, you would have been the talk of the Beer Keller

I recently found out there is an indoor shooting range not far from me 😁. So I've restarted an old hobby, and started a new collection 😂

Not too bad, considering I hadn't shot pistols for over 30 years 🤔

I also got a rifle, the target below was first attempt, with the one stray as my very first shot.

And I've just ordered a Webley Mk VI Service Revolver replica, like the one below 🙂 - This could become expensive 🤫

I've been too that range.
I met two members of the Northamptonshire Special Forces. I think the little bald guy is like a modern day Squire? He's just there to carry the other guys gear 😉...

I have one of these in 22 Battlefield, back in the Day I had a genuine MK6 455 on my licence, using 455 the ammo either went bang or fizz depending on it's age but I also had the 45ACP clips to use the 45 auto rimless cartridge, these modern gun's are built from the original blue prints and are a very good copy.

Like the other guns and good to see you with a good hobby,
I also have a 22BM8 and a Weihrauch H77

Back in the day I used to be a member of a gun club and shoot pistols, .22 .38 & .45 and was quite a respectable shot, I won a couple of club trophies within 3 months of joining. But then pistols were banned 😞

My client is totally innocent of those trumped up & ludicrous charges!

He was simply climbing over that fence when his trousers & pants became untangled on the barbed wire. And were torn off as he fell into the field. Fortunately that sheep broke his fall! 😗
The farmer merely jumped to conclusions!
I mean, who wouldn't be so happy/pleased at surviving such a near death experience. That's the only reason my client was sporting an erection 😎

Dan Wesson 6" barrel co2 powered 6 shots with a speedloader.
Weihrauch over lever single shot.
Couple of rifles and a Colt 1911 pistol. Real (but deactivated, honest guv.)
