Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......

I wanted to Mick, but unfortunately time is against me.

 

The only reason I was able to get holidays this time was on compassionate grounds,  because I was going to escort Iryna's mother to see her sister in Northampton. 

 

Unfortunately due to her ill health, I am devastated    :)   she has been unable to come.  

 

Like Arny said ....... I'll be back.
