I've always liked the Scene in the Movie "The Boys From Brazil" were the Dobermans rip Gregory Peck to pieces before being told to stop

It was only a film, it wasn't real.

Woohoo! It's registered!!
Spoke to a nice lady at the DVLA today (after 3 minutes of useless 'press this number', 'press that number') and another seemingly age waiting, that the T200 is registered and the docs were sent out last Friday. As they must have got them the Friday before, very quick service, so full marks for that bit.
However (there's always a 'however' isn't there?) they can't tell me what the registration number because of data protection.
I said 'But it's my data, and I promise not to tell anyone'.
'No, sorry, we can't do it so as to keep your information secure' said the very welsh voice. 'Is there anything else?'
I said 'no thankyou' and hung up.
WTF is wrong with people who work in government departments?
I nearly said 'organisations', but that would imply being organised I suppose.
My head hurts and there's a dent in the wall now.

Are we going to see one of these little gems attend this years Rally then Alan

Cheers Dave

Depends what day you go.
Hopefully I'll have a choice of 5 Suzies.
Whistle see what's good and what's bad then!

WooHoo! Just got home and the docs have arrove!
It's an 'E' reg (bah gum!!)
Now all we need is a number plate.......

Had a run to the local bike shop where they do number plates and fitted it there so it had one for the journey home
Still smoking quite a lot, so it needs a good run for a clearout.
I did notice that the front end is a bit wobbly, and when I got home, noticed that the tyre wasn't on quite right. Fairy liquide'ed it and put about 60psi in and it popped into position nicely. Dropped the pressure after that!!
Spun the wheel and it appears the rim is slightly squiffy, so I nipped it back to the bike shop for him to true it up. Seems OK now, so weather permitting, it'll get a road test tomorrow and see how it performs.

Nice run to Squires last Thursday and nearly got caught in a rainstorm on the way home, so hid under a bridge until it stopped. Knackered fork seals (bits of oil on the front tyre) made for a steady ride home! Tenner for a full set means another job 'soon'.

Been out several times on the Invader and it runs like a good 'un. Starts first kick (usually!) and it's a little flyer
Not sure if it's a keeper, as I have the hippo and 2 550s that should be running next springtime, as well as the TC200, so it might be a thinout and just have triples then, as Lynn likes o have a 'go' on the pillion and a 200 two up doesn't really fly.
Whistle see, as the little 'uns are definitely fun, and there's a couple of mates with CB200 Hondas that need a lesson teaching first.......
