Hi everyone,
I'm Alan,
i got invited by Kirk to the Brighton Run 25/09/2009 and was kindly lent 'DAVE' for the day.
i wanted to offer my thanks for the loan of 'DAVE' and the warm welcome i received from everyone, a truly great bunch of really friendly people, added up to a day of hilarious enjoyment (especially Mc Donalds drive through - OMG!) i will never forget.
on second thoughts it might have been a mistake for me to tell people i'd been to Brighton Beech for the day, and I sat on dave, and we were then waved at by complete strangers and we also waved at small children while doing so
i've got my feelers out for my own machine, but this is more likely to happen in the new year - unless one comes up i can't resist (or someone make me an offer i can't refuse
). might take on a bike with electrical issues as i fancy improving with more modern kit available for the chinese bikes and quads.
background.
i'm daft as a hatter, been married for 38 years (to the same long suffering woman), 3 grown boys, 5 grandkids. i have run my own small 'one man band' security system business since 1984, blimey - a year longer than the C5's been around - (but no new batteries or parts made for me
lol!) expanding from installing security systems into IT LAN's and telephone systems.
I worked for many years as a service engineer for security companies before goingit alone, those skills help in fault tracing in general in other fields, i don't have any certificates but have gained some degree of useful electronics knowledge during that time, to the point i design and make bespoke equipment onto PCB's for clients.
the above is not an advert 'spamming' for business, i just i might be of use with the C5's or other electric vehicles.
regard
Alan
