Welcome to the site.  A red Steamer is a beautiful thing.  I look forward to seeing the bike updates as you restore it.  Looks like it's in great condition!

There appears to be a ghost of a Weimaraner in the background, or do I just need better specs?

Welcome.  It's nice to meet a fellow enthusiast who likes Tigers (my '93 is red also) and dogs (mine are Weimaraners too).

Aside from the main Tiger meet that we're trying to put together in July,  there seems to be a few in East anglia.  We should meet up in Webbs carpark, Peterborough, for a burger as soon as weather allows.  A pack of Tigers would show the R1 / Blade crowd. :lol:

I can go three different routes to Peterborough on the Tiger but only one on the Blackbird (if I want to enjoy the ride anyway).  The fields are as black as peat so good for growing, but very wet - even in summer - so the subsidence has to be seen to be believed.  Just try the Holme - Yaxley road for instance...

We often go the the Admiral Wells in Holme for a meal.

We always come home via the old A1.

Don`t think the food or beer would stay down coming back the Yaxley road.  :lol:

Haven't had a meal in the Admiral for years. Met the present Mrs BB there... :D

Food used to be very good is it still?

We frequent the Fitzwilliam Arms at Marholme just north of P'boro beyond the ice rink.

Food still very good, especially the treacle sponge and custard.  :D

Haven`t been to the Fitzwilliam for a few years, are the hedges still an attraction?

Sorry about hijacking the thread........ :)
