Unfortunately, the Bits4Vits domain expired recently, and I won't be renewing it - all the remaining stock is on eBay (link below) so the website and email have expired... that also means that a lot of my historic photos in this - and other - threads have disappeared. :S

Recently though I've been using photos from the greenlaning.blog and hosted here on the BigJimny board, so recent posts will appear alright.

The end of an era

I'm still selling products both as Bits4Vits and ZookBOB on eBay though... links in my signature below

The next chapter awaits!

Off to Northumnerland for the weekend...

Not a place we've greenlaned before so all the 'lanes will be new to us, rather than going "over old ground"...

Riccy has planned and checked all the routes though, so although they're all new, they're all passable and legal!

Blog soon
