Popular Post Richard (OldStager) Posted April 30 Popular Post Share Posted April 30 Just an apology for absence really, some ( but not all) are aware I have mental health issues, well it hit me again and only this last few days/weeks have I begun to engage with the world again ( sounds stupid but that's how it is) I need to be somewhere that I am familiar with again, and here is really were I should belong. So expect more mayhem from me , lots of car changes have happened since I was last on here and I will post those as and when . catch you around folks. Regards Richard. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard (OldStager) Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Thanks Stuart means a lot. Yeah been mucking about with the webers etc, had a huge issue trying to get it started again after a 9 month layup, was Ethanol related (as a spoiler) but I will post all that om my build page if I can remember how to navigate around here again, lol. ETA just realised the tax is out tomorrow, wow what a coincidence with me here now - its like someone or something forced me here - spooky stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Good to see you back @Richard (OldStager). Still some places on The Long Way North drive if you feel up to/fancy joining us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Hi all , thank you all for those comments, its not a nice place to be when I am not well, so its nice to be welcomed back. @Stuart Hi mate, whats The long way north, I do recall a tv prog named something similar years and years ago, was it Charlie Borman ? I only watched it as I am a biker at heart LOL. . Can you direct me to where I find out as that sounds interesting, if camping overnight is involved I can't do that these days my back wont allow it, got two x-rays to attend about it.

Richard (OldStager) Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 @Stuart I found the page eventually, I am already booked on a Wirral Classic car show at WaterWorld ( Neston) well thats assuming my back is good enough to drive all the way there and back, having said that that show is only the 23rd the Sun, so unless you are passing by me on the 22nd I could perhaps join in with the convoy so to speak and break off at some point?. When I was staying down there two years ago, I re-joined my old car club, and I attended the inaugural first show at the venue, I went last year too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 @Richard (OldStager) I thought you had signed up for it when it was first announced then pulled out, but guess I must be wrong. Perhaps I'm confusing it with last summer's (wet) north Wales trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 @Stuart I really don't recall much of last year to be honest, it's a bit a bit of a blur to me now. If I did sign up and cancel then it would have been because I knew things were not good at my end, so sorry about that, as I said if you are anywhere near the M6/ A6 area I can meet up there, it's not that far from where I am . Just on with carbs linkages, and discovered it's not a straight swap as I had assumed... Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 @Richard (OldStager) I don't know the exact route yet, but the first day is Edale to Scotch Corner and second Scotch Corner to Berwick on Tweed. So I doubt if we'll go near the M6. Good luck with the carbs 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know you Richard but welcome back and never forget you are not alone. From one sufferer to another - stay strong, reach out if you need to, many of us have suffered I'm certain of that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Awww thanks Steve, yeah it's more common than folks think, trouble is folks don't talk about it because of the stigma, well I changed my tack on that some years ago and thought sod if I'm not well I will say why. The only sticking point to that is by the time I have realised that I am bad again, I don't communicate much, so places like here just see me disappear with no word - I must change that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
