hmm, entirely new country with bla bla bla. i see the kids are back. (not v.optimistic the younger generation these days, always with the cant do this cant do that) fuck the torys loz?, nah. learn from the torys. break my promise of a job to josh, offer Si a pay cut or he can gerty fook. if the other garages are considering redundancy where's he gonna go? keep both bikes, and put a deposit on the hyper. sorted. think i get it now. i can see why they are so popular with some. not many, but just enough.
Re visiting Scotchland and tourism, My own opinion based on multiple visitations based on family up there, is that Scotchland is the U.K's France, some beautiful and much yet to be discovered by Brits for it's people and scenery. The trouble is for anoraks of discovery such of our age, we went to those places but now people look it up on google maps and instagram bloggers so tourism will always be fighting with each other and even more so in the technoligical age. Flights too, my usual haunts in the states from Heathrow to Rapd city takes 10 hours in total but london to skye by car is nearly 12 hours. I don't feel it is Brexit based on the down turn but more on the upturn since the pound has dropped and people have more choice, Scotchland has to ask why are we not seeing more then? My point here is that Scotchland has it's scenery and it's people as positive's but you are now fighting a more technical based value for money tourist. This next part isn't political but I hope you will take it as an opinion based on chats with others. People I know who have for years visited Scothland on and off over the years are tending to hold back going there for the last few years feeling that the snp with it's nationalistic rhetoric are making Scotland an unwelcoming place certainly for the English. They are not quaking in their boots but more "it doesn't feel like it used to" How much that impacts I do not know as it is the opinion I am aware of with a small group As to Gimlets federal nations? It might be. Personally away from the eu which is Germany winning world 3 through the back door as they have done it financially with financially controling europe, I see an organisation growing in the direction of the old commonwealth but more as a group of countries rather than the U.K. as it's figure head. A federation of countries, learning from the mistakes of the eu and remaining as a trading pact and nothing more, will I feel be the way forward. As to the bikes and having two, for me this has always been my dillema and why possibly I kept selling and rebuying 6 blackbirds. The bird absolutely and for it's money is the best all round bike ever for me but every now and again a gixxer 750 for the special moments was a must. If you have that set up and can keep it then you probably have utopia. If one has to go then match the amount of time you have to ride against the types of bike you have. If you ride rarely then keep the bike that makes you feel alive, if you ride a lot then keep the bike that suits all roles.
fimm the downturn in the motor trade up here has nothing to do with the the vote to leave,its been going downhill for a few years why would punters run an old secondhand car when you can have brand new for £99/month. the really big boys like arnould have never been busier
Buy the hyper, you obviously like it and if it's more fun for you to have a quick blast then surely that's the best option
yip. deffo part of it. i know a few of my customers have bought new of late with service plans. doh, tht will learn em what with the nearest being 90 odd mls away. whats happening in kinloch? i think 2easy meant the alloy smelter in fortbill, which used to get its lecky from kinlochleven, the building the icefactory which you know about elt. not sure if they produced alloy there to. they have recently been bought over in fortbill with big expansion plans including a new factory making alloy wheels for the motor trade. new jobs. much needed. wonder who they will get to work in them? yip, more doom and gloom. :Sorry: :smileys:
Over the last few years, pre Brexitmania - how did that happen :Wideyed: and now good news after Brextmania how did that happen :Wideyed: so confusing this politics malarkey eh? :Bucktooth: don't try it finm, you will look silly
possibly, maybe we should use you as the reference point. you know. Oi fin, what? yer as silly as exe. Oh, sorry. :Sorry: :Finger::smileys:
i generally dont do quick blasts tho, 1-2-3-4hundred miles are the norm, what are they like over the distance? headlight any good?
@finm a couple of the guys who came up to Scotland these past few years have ridden up on hypers. They've never looked too worse for wear doing 300 plus/odd miles each day on them.
