  8. What's with everyone buying old shitty bikes, bloody things don't start, piss oil everywhere, noisy, don't go, don't stop, uncomfortable.

    Look good like :bucktooth:

  12. Home in 30deg, fu King brilliant weather, please may it last.

    Not taking it for granted. Usually pissing down or cold. Really nice change
     
  13. Seriously, a fanny bacon, look at the state of that thing. Must have like 1bhp/kw/downhill power and as for the seat, there must have been some horse hair to fill that thing.

    If you own it, bought it, it’s a lovely bike Congrats

    If you are ever in Scarborough have a look up to the cafe then a bimble round the track. You won’t believe they race superbikes round there.

  16. We’ve been to view a “quirky” house. Not for us as there’s too much work to do it to bring it up to scratch.

  17. Just chillin' at Carole's this evening. Fired up the bbq and experimented with tiger prawns cooked in a garlic and chilli infused oil in a korai and wagyu beef burgers. OMG, I'll never go back to a Makky D's, cannot describe how good the meat is. Pulled the rings on 1 or 2 (well maybe 7 or 8) Estrella Damms and listening to Richie Blackmore's Rainbow on the CD player. Just enjoying a quiet, gorgeous evening with my BFF :) Andy

  18. I bought a 1957 Franny Barnet Falcon years ago to give Pre-65 trials a go. It was a rolling box of bits, with half the bits missing. I persevered with the bent and knackered forks and shocks for a couple of meetings before swapping them for something better.
    I kept it for a couple of seasons, it was quite competitive at the end, I won a two stroke clubman championship in 2004. That little 197cc Villiers 8e was bulletproof.
    Competitive, but boy was it ugly.
