Yep, could have some fun on that.. but, it`s looking increasingly likely that we are going to move to Dumfries, our house will be on the market very soon. I don`t think I will be doing any more events this year. My 350 Honda that I bought just to sprint is now for sale, but, you never know, 2021 could be a possibility, just a long way to go to events and back.

Aye Rufus, congratulations on considering emigrating!  ;)  I have never regretted the move I made back in 1973.

The Scottish Borders will keep you entertained, I am sure. I used to live and work there myself.

Good health and I hope that it all works out for you.

My regards, Bill

Having a Scottish surname of a clan from the lowlands of Lanarkshire, I've often wondered about making such a move myself. How about promoting it to the club, Bill? Might end up with the TC Commune in your back garden!??

Just a note on the Topic. Wrapping the exhaust pipes ith asbestos was carried out many moons ago what early cars had there exhaust pipes on the outside of he cars. The reason for wrapping was twofold :- one to protect people from burning themselves and two it was shown to quieten the resonance in the front down pipes/manifold.

In the 80's i wrapped some manly spotter drag pipes, they were fine until it rained , when I stopped it dreamed like a lock for about 10 minutes. Probably wouldn't happen with most of these 'who's bikes ?
