Can't remeber the poem or the poet, just the opening line per the title. Anyway, having washed the bike (no I'm not selling it ) I couldn't resist taking a couple of snaps of the bike against the backdrop of a moody sky over the Irish Sea and Courtown Harbour on the phone/camera.

Wow, that is one nice looking bike!

Superb scenery too.

great pics 88 ......thanks for sharing

That is one nice bike 88
John Macefield or

Spike Milligan
I must go down to the seas again
The lonely sea and the sky
I left my shoes and socks there
I wonder if they're dry

Thanks K freak, I'm sure it was the Macefield words I was trying to recall but the Milligan version sits better with me now!

Thanks Blakey. I can't really go at the bike till Feb and I've been contemplating a colour change, I've even considered red! Jury is still out.

A vote will be taken on the colour of the bike and Blakey has been appointed the neutral referee. Just like in the Phillippines many years ago...you will keep voting until you get it right.
Nice bike...better in red.

Is that Henry "Blakey" Ford??? "A bike can be any colour as long as it's red"

Just to show you all that I am not "it's gotta be red", I do really like the colour of your bike 88KE, the way it is now.

nice bike great colour leave as is

All right guys....It worked!, I got Blakey to admit it.....that's $5 each you owe me

Seriously tho' thanks for the favourable comments all. Like I said jury is out and will stay that way till I strip it down at least, then it'll be decision time.
