Saxophones Carrying a tenor on a (motor)bike?

Nice!

No, I don't have one any more. Nissan 4x4 these days - I need the reliability where I live! Used to have a 110 Hardtop.

I've seen your Nissan but assumed from your exchange of emails with Kev that you had a Landy as well for the serious stuff.
A few years ago I got caught on the M66 in heavy snow on my way back from a gig in Bury. My Land Rover was the only thing on the Motorway that was really mobile. There were other 4X4s including at least one Freelander but they couldn't hack it. I got off the Motorway by driving South on the Northbound side until I got to a slip road and went up it the wrong way. I got home via back roads. Nothing else was moving.

The old "square" Nissan Patrols are fantastic. Had two of them. The United Nations still use them today.

Particularly if you get the one with the indestructible 4.2 litre, non-turbo straight 6 diesel. Originally designed to go in a midi bus, will last forever in a car, and will run, unmodified, on chip fat.

I had 4.2 lire petrol. About 12 to the gallon!

Now.......here is a proper Land Rover................Land Rover Defender not big enough...how about this six-wheel monster?

The flying rustman more like. 5 men and gear. A SWB seats 7 innit and the gear goes in the trailer.

I love big 4wd but that one doesn't cut it for me, sorry.

I like the Huntsman, I think the Merc is ugly.

I agree, better than Land Rovers. I've had three of them with 330SD diesel sixes and one with the 4.2 diesel. A friend still runs a petrol 4.2 with a gas conversion.

What an excellent biking day yesterday. The weather was glorious and I rode: from Mallerstang to Troutbeck Bridge. TB to Sedbergh. S to Kendal. Had a bike lesson. Kendal to Mallerstang 😀
I promise I did do some work in Troutbeck and Sedbergh in between! 😛

Jay's our resident H...'s Angel. More of an Angel, though.
Although the thread is a long way off topic, look where it started. And she just managed to bring it back to the original topic a few posts ago, but straight off again.

Thanks again Kevgermany, yep bit mentally lazy of me to not look through posts (just saw 30 pages, plus laying in bed typing on phone, which I always find more difficult with my caveman hands!).

Have got so obsessed with this site it is now literally the first thing I do when I awake and last thing at night.

My partner is just glad she has not gotta hear about jazz/saxophones anymore.......great finding like minded people huh, that are even more obsessed than me......happy daze

Awww - blows Kev a kiss 🙂

@Gareth WG, yes motorbike, I'm just learning and am as obsessed by that as by my saxophone at the moment - which is saying something.
Isn't this site great - such lovely, talented people, and so much to learn.
