Nice of you to notice my absence over the past year. I fell off my bike a year ago and broke my collarbone, by the time I returned to work I discovered that my small town had undergone changes in the name of "town planning" so we now had traffic jams, restricted parking, a one way system that has made the town a round-about, it is now easier and quicker to cycle. So in the past year my 340 has covered about 2000 miles, my bike 4500, most motoring is done in the wifes Toyota as it has the child seat in it. The 340 has had an NCT test - passed, a change of oil and that is about it, it starts when required and apart from an annoying squeak from, I guess, front suspension or engine mounts there is nothing to report - very dull motoring! Long may it continue

To go slightly OT for a sec here, I've noticed a few towns in Kerry have undergone this unwelcome transformation. You wouldn't be from Killorglin by any chance??

Well done V6 Man, I am indeed in Killorglin, I guess that you have been in one of our queues. A real pain in the a**e! As it's a national road that runs through town we reckon that some idiot sits in his office in Dublin and tries to recreate their problems down here. We'll have wheelclampers next![/url]

I know Killorglin quite well as my wife is from there originally (she's one of the Foley clan from Dromin).

You may have seen this old beastie running around the area when we visited her folks, but it has been 7 years since we lived in Ireland (Waterford) so we mostly fly and hire now.

Have only been here since '98, so still a "blow in". Have met a few Foley's.
It's countdown to Puck so lots of mayhem to look forward to.
