Sadly hit a deer. #Lotus #Elise back from Scott Russell Sportscars: New Lights, Grill, Plate, Plinth, Towing Bracket, Badge. Most would have needed doing 4 MOT anyway - so worth doing now. Almost 300,000 miles: didn't think she was going to make it any further as I hit the poor deer. #LotusElise

Suitably inspired today - the sunshine helps - one of my two 1988 Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis bikes got a new battery and some fettling today, ready for MOT next week...

A little progress on my ICM 1:32 87 Sqn Gladiator model...

Gratuitous shot of the Thruxton earlier at today at Long Compton - has been properly cleaned and polished this afternoon.
Definitely a 'feel good' motorcycle...
Doesn't the sun make a big difference!
