  1. Right, just got back from Cornwall looking to purchase next 'Chez
    Nous'...Spent 4 days looking at 12 houses the length and breadth of the
    county..... Whilst there encountered a 'bent trike (and rider), underseat
    steering and baggage that probably meant tourer.
    It was a very useful encounter as it enabled me to pass at least 8 cars
    queued at an island on the A30 (probably). Can't remember exactly where it
    was and even the day's getting a bit vague (possibly Monday), but whoever it
    was, if you are out there, thanks for the distraction and just to let you
    know, you were looking good ;-)...Everyone stopped to watch and I took my
    opportunity, whilst at the same time appreciating the grace and unique
    aesthetic pleasure of the trike and rider of course (whilst commenting to my
    wife that should there be any spare cash left out of our house sale ' I want
    one of those!!'😉
    Yes, I was in the car out of necessity....and as a matter of interest, if
    anyone is interested, I saw a gorgeous Brough Superior being trailered up
    the M5 on the way back home today...I tell you, I almost (omitted due to
    family ng) in my pants!!!....it was a truly gorgeous example ;-)

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    What? Why on earth would you want to leave the West Midlands? I can't
    understand it.

    There are one or two recumbent trikes in cornwall...

    We've been going there for 15 years on holiday.....when we return home we
    cry.
    Our intention is to holiday in Walsall for a fortnight (or maybe a week ;-),
    once a year and when we return home we'll be laughing 8-D

    Dave....
    p.s. - I'd like to say I'm only joking but...well, you know....

    p.p.s. - situation helped by making an asking price offer on a lovely old
    Cornish manor and being accepted...apparently we've died and gone to heaven
    ;-), thought we were going to have to make do with a v.small mid-terraced in
    a countryside (rather than seaside) town.....and it's got a brand new double
    garage with it that can house both car and all 10 bikes, rather than
    spreading them around the house and shed (bikes, not car!!)

    p.p.p.s. - and our genius son will be able to go to a technology college
    secondary school (due to move from primary to secondary education this
    year), which is 1. highly regarded in OFSTED reports and 2. less than a mile
    away......aaarrrggghhhh, it just gets better and better
    My wife is sure that we are due for a good smiting / smitting / <s?> soon,
    bolts of lightening and thunderclaps, possibly a bit of brimstone too maybe
    .....

    Oh My God....it just gets better and better and better!!!...as I said in
    response to Ambroses post ;-)
    I hadn't realised their location before, what with the distance / price
    thing. Thanks for that Guy...ooooh, test rides, full fleet available...I
    feel like Homer in a doughnut factory!!
    Just got to sympathetically restore a grade II listed Cornish manor house
    first.
    Thanks again
    Dave.

    Speaking as one who lives in a grade B listed Galloway former village
    inn, congratulations and enjoy.
