mozart Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Bob’s products have been invaluable over the years, I’ll have to be a bit more careful with my reserves now! I hope he finds better health and makes a full recovery soon. NigTT and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobs Buckles Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Thanks for the concern, chaps! I'm back at the bench making buckles again. It got a little scary at times, but I came through in the end. The only thing I'm recovering from at the moment is my pride and some sore ribs. I hit the tarmac this morning while out riding and fell flat on my side, bruising my ribs and cutting open my left eye. Live and learn! Onward and upwards.

mozart Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Take more water with it Bob! Delighted to hear that you’re back in production; I received the Jaguar engine for my Gamecock to Grebe conversion yesterday from Simon at Silver Wings, so an order will be winging its way to you shortly.

Christa Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Havering Park used to have very able and helpful St John's Ambulance volunteers looking out for wobbly cyclists, Bob. Don't know if they still accept crash bookings. Glad Bob's Buckles are back. Bobs Buckles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
