Hats off to the photographer

I had a journalist and a photographer visit me today for a feature on my H120.

Despite several rain showers and less than ideal lighting conditions, the photographer still managed to take some awesome pictures, can't wait to see them when they are published :)

Re: Gearbox servicing.

Gearbox servicing.

The gearbox in my Rapier is in need of some TLC so if anyone can recommend a place to use please let me know.

I'm based in Yeovil, Somerset but happy to travel (within reason) for somewhere good.

Thanks :thumbs:
