@@TheMissendenFlyer indeed it does. Scran, which almost everybody who has served in the Armed Forces will instantly know to mean food, actually has a deeper meaning. Its origin comes from the Royal Navy practice of supplementing sailors' diets with additional portions of Sultanas, Currants, Raisins and Nuts - which can be shortened to 'SCRAN'.

Yes I have frequented that by air in the past - maybe time for a two wheeled visit….

Ahh… Greenham Common. That brings back memories. I attended a gliding competition there just before it become a USAF base housing cruise missiles. The runway there was huge, 4,000 x 100 metres. During the contest a protest was put in, as usual, against the actor Christopher Reeve who was one of the competitors. It was alleged he didn’t need a glider to fly. I’m also very surprised Geoff did not require a comprehensive change of underwear after his close encounter. That would have been a truly trouser packing moment. I thought he was every composed considering how close he came to an unplanned and very unpleasant outcome. That was another great Biker Scran. You found a really good place to eat, the sort we used to have all over the country before the corporate types moved in and imposed burgers, chicken, fries and pop on us all. That was a find. I enjoyed that. Thank you.

Hi Andy and a happy new year to you. Love your work and enjoy watching your videos/reviews. The Z900RS you saw at Greenham Kawasaki was released end of 2017 and available early 2018. The model you saw was the "Covert green" colour scheme and was released together with Candytone Brown & orange or fondly referred to as "Jaffa" and Spark black colours (you tested this Spark black" version in 2018). The "cafe" version came in lime green as in Kwaks from the 1980's, especially the racing bikes. The "nice Kawasaki" you referred to at around the 17th minute mark on the video, is now in my garage - the R1250GS Rallye. Keep up the good work and check out the Super Sausage Cafe in Potterspury on the A5 between Towcester and Milton Keynes. A great biker venue. 🫡
