Took the Blood Bike for a service to Williams in Manchester ( showroom closed ) but got to see the new RT ... I had seen pictures before, but was really impressed with it in the flesh !

Heaven knows why

Be good to see a few new faces turn up this year, we're not a bad bunch honestly and don't bite, well not very hard anyway
