Wotcha.

I seem to recall someone from this group managing to invert a Kawasaki
Drifter ("The Comfy Chair") - in keeping with tradition here's my
attempt to do the same.
I didn't quite manage a full 180 degrees though.

Poole Hall looks like a decent alternative to the much missed Food Stop
Cafe at Quatt (aka The Greasy Spoon - by me). Those lanes look like a
typical local VMCC section run. Oh, bugger indeed. Glad you got it
righted and back on the road OK.

Poolehall is indeed a good alternative. For one thing the car park
isn't on a slope. The food is always good, or at least every time I go
it's been good, and I tend to go there quite often - at least every
Thursday and occasionally on Sunday too.

Luckily the Drifter landed on some nice soft ferns - closely followed by
me doing the same thing :)

Not quite a Brummie - I live some ten miles from the centre of
Birmingham at West Bromwich, in the Black Country.

The Brummies refer to us as "Yam Yams" because we tend to say
"We yam" rather than we am, "They yam" etc.

A bit more of the Black Country accent here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sqEil-JmFY

Sadly he'd got it upright by the time I got my phone out - I don't
think anyone else got it while still inverted either. This is it just afterwards.

He certainly said, with some pride, that he got it upright before anyone
got a photo.
