  1. Hi All,

    Being on this forum a while now and I still get surprised, shocked and smile at some of the conversations that go on inside some posts, I.E. I have only met 2 people from this forum and to my happy surprise real down to earth and friendly (Comfysofa for one!) however some comments I see really make me feel like I'm in the wrong room I.E I'm not sure what to sell out of my 16 bikes I own or someone shows picks of three of the most expensive Ducatis made in one persons garage! so..........I'm not lining you all up for a robbery but It would be great to know a little about the person behind the avatar
    It would be great if you list what you do for a job or income, family, and another interest away from biking, yep, you guessed it, my back issue means I'm won't be going to any meets to meet my fellow bikers this year by the looks of it so a bit of chatter seems good
    So for me, I'm the General Manager of Bristol Protyre (unless I get sacked for long term sick!) I have a lovely wife who enjoys me biking but restricts my bike investments, 2 wonderful kids one working towards air traffic control and a little girl who keeps getting caught sitting on my bike! Other interests footy and garden designing, and prefer sitting in a beer garden next to a river for relaxation with the kids when she says no to a quick ride out!

    What about you guys and girls
    DucGirl- no more bike?
    Exige- own company or small invention complimenting another job?
    El-toro - always seem anywhere but home!!

    Can anyone give me the price of a cup of tea? And some cash towards a second hand sleeping bag? Waterproof, if possible.

  6. Always stuck to my dear ol dads (RIP) advice " Do as little as possible for as much as possible,always leave room for the next man to have a profit as he will deal with you again,don't tread on anyone on the way up,don't fuck anything you can't lift and if it flys,floats or fucks - RENT IT!

  7. Hahaha - I have to say I don't fall into the £200,000 motorcycle collection lined up,mint condition,under colour coded monogrammed covers in a heated/dehumidified garage that's cleaner than my lounge!Im just an old school motor trader with a lifelong love of motorcycles.Until recently I did have just over 10 but I've skimmed it right down - partly because I think motorcycles are for riding not polishing or exhibiting like works of art? You want Art - then buy a bloody painting or a sculpture! My girlfriend was so pleased when I got it down to just three bikes - that was until I turned up with my Vincent?
     
  8. It's ducbird!!!!
    I'm a high class hooker :)

  11. No £200,000 collection...... skimmed bikes down....... then I hear A VINCENT!....... so must be back up again to, uh what was it again, uuurrrrrr ££££££££££
    What model? I remember my father in law talking about the best 2 models of there time, I think BSA goldstar and was it a Vincent rocket, anyway races galore in the rain on crappy Dunlop and they had newly painted white lines that made the old bikes twitch a bit!!
     
  12. If you want art buy a motorbike and put it (them) in the house (don't listen to the Arthur Daily types and buy pictures :smileys: who needs shitty pictures :Stop:), have some to ride too and build some yourself as well, those are the 3 elements of motorcycle ownership - bikes are to ride sure, but some of mine aren't, and will hopefully allow me to retire earlier than death :Dead:
    I am skint :( but truly have all my spare cash in bikes (and the Exige) and when I have enough dosh I buy another bike, in fact there is a 1098S Tricolore hopefully coming soon :smileys:. I own about £100 worth of clothes and £50 worth of shoes :Smuggrin:
    I work for a main supplier to JLR on new vehicle development, live in the beautiful City of York, have a daughter 26 and a daughter of 8 years (in the Czech Republic) who visits with her mam (who terrorises me :() about 9 weeks a year so not all bad - we Skype every day :D Obtained the deal with Chris Kelly a year ago to import California Cycleworks products to the UK (never moaned (until now) when a well known and respected Ducati Specialist tried to steal the deal from me after the first 3 months and who now won't use ExactFit Belts) Started Exact Start Ltd with the High Cap Cable Kits 9 months ago or so and busy growing the range. Moving into Europe soon with California CW and Mrs Ex to circumnavigate the crap 2 way exchange rate from $US to GBP to Euro.
    Busy busy busy, like Beer & Boobies quite a lot and part time smoke on a Sat Night out.
    That is my life, I like it, but need to leave work - if it wasn't for the mortgage I would tomorrow :Shifty:
    Oh, and while Loz is in the Far East I have control over his Forum Account and will be pretending to be him :Nailbiting:

  17. Superb, isn't it funny when watching comments on here over time it builds a picture, then a simple post like this changes most of your thoughts, for me its great to know the people behind the typing,
    Do you sell your kits on eBay buy the way? If not I guess I've just upset you, also I bought your belts then within a few hours I see a post from you and what did I see in your signature? EXACT-FIT , SO BANG GOS THE DISCOUNT!
     
  18. Yes I sell them on Ebay and direct on my web site :smileys: discount is for Forum Subscribers only (which costs £5 per year) :p
    You need to start another thread where people can post what they think the people on the Forum are - it would be fun :D with a bit of this thrown in :Rage: @Loz works for the Inland Revenue on major Tax Fraud Crime and is currently flying to Saudi on a 6 months investigation :Wideyed::Wideyed::Wideyed:
