Blimey Streak!  You look like the cat that ate the canary!  Biggest smile I've seen since you announced the Engagement.

Congrats on the article.  Will have a look in the mailbox soon.

congratulates but you forgot the brand of shininess tent

This Expedition Tent by Nomad is a great thing for adventure motorcycle travelers. The Nomad tent, offers 30 square feet of interior room, weighs just 13 lbs, fits 2 people and the main thing, your bike. Made from coated ripstop nylon with a polyester floor, the Nomad.

    We’ve designed a better way of camping. Our expedition tent is comfortable and incredibly functional, with no compromise in design or materials. It is a tent born of years of travel and dedicated to world adventure enthusiasts and their bikes. The Series II Expedition Tent, built specifically for touring travelers, is a real world, 2 person tent, designed to shield your motorcycle from the elements and from prying eyes.

Bought ours today.

If it wasn't for the Ozstoc item I wouldn't have got it.

Nice article Graham.

Amazing to get that many pages.  The previous clubs just got two.
Made a good read.  I suspect it's the rider magazine most likely to be bought by the Honda ST demographic.
Please don't ask me to define that last phrase.
