Thought your birthday was April 1st - all fools day.?

On second thoughts it can't be. It's 29th February.
You only have a birthday every 4 years, but you still reckon you're only 70. How's that work out Mr. Tight as a Duck's Ar$e? :lol: :lol:

Nice one Paul, you did him like a kipper there!!! :lol:

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

What can I say? Looks like I've been rumbled. :roll:
In my defence though, I have been spending a lot of time with Alan H. :o :lol:

However Mr Katface, you should have a bit more respect for your elders and betters, especially on my birthday. ;)
Happy Birthday ;)

Impressive review, think I made the right choice. :D
Ready for the 1st service now but at £175, a bit too steep for a poor pensioner like me. ;)
So my friendly Enfield dealer, Alcock & jones at Stafford suggested, if I felt able I could do the service myself and they'd stamp the service book to validate the warranty, even sent me an oil filter FOC.
So that's a few bob saved and the most challenging/rewarding part of the service is checking the valve clearances/tappets, easy peasy. ;)
