[quote="pertonpc"]Cheers Guys
Would have stayed longer at the Cafe but I only popped in for a tasty pie......

and some dude with a goatee riding an A4 had beat me to it and devoured half that days supply in one sitting, before taking the rest home in his cowboy style pannier :wink:

Mark i take great offence in that comment,do you mean i have gained a few pounds? knew i would get a bite(double entendre) in case you dont understand :lol: :lol:

Cheers Crispy

You get three out of 6 - although Milking Bank was technically the answer - but I will take Baz's garage in Dudley being as I know you.

If you are free Saturday (1st October) I will be at the Cafe 2.30- 3.00 before ripping up the highways of Shropshire for a few hours.

Be good to meet up (bring a kettle if u wish)

From Mark

I did note Cleobury Mortimer.

The H2C was tested there by MCW and they remarked how well it coped with the 1 in 4.

Maybe it would be a good idea for you to try that again Mark :wink:

Sorry Chris
(Mister Moderator Sir, grovel)

but Cleobury did not feature in that footage so Crispy is still closest to the golden ticket with three sites in order of appearance.

Do like it over there though - and how comes you know that neck of the woods old chap??

GB please don't let him delete this post and declare himself the winner :(

Ok Chris

See you there. Forecast looks A1 so far. Summer gets a replay eh??

and yes... the road to Swancote was in there so you got four out of 6 mister - - storming into the lead.

Looks like I may as well bring your spot prize to the cafe.

Unless of course.............................

somebody else out there knows different!!

Come on MarkGB you should have spotted that one - we did it this week.

Hi Mark
I assume thats a B model Kettle can,t help but notice it has the wrong rear light for a B although i do prefer the dog bone shape myself.
Seems there are a few of us on here that run Z,s and kettles

Well spotted..........the UK model did share the same rear light as the GS 750 however a few European B`s did have dog bone lens.
Bluesmoke Baz does know his Kettles :wink:

Hi Shaggy

The story of this kettle was that Baz wanted a new one but UK stocks had sold out. They tried to get him to have a GS instead but he was going to walk away - so they sourced a brand new unsold kettle in Italy which was this one.

So I guess it should be italian spec not UK as Crispy says.

Then Baz sold it as we all did over the years.... Someone spotted it in tatty condition a couple of years ago and he bought it for a second time. Now restored with a lot of NOS parts.

So a happy ending to that story.
