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
