Bloody photoshop, I've corrected it he's just riding on the edge of a cliff lol

Your wish is my command @Marcel , if only we were all as sharp as you ..........

Having a 1973 bike is great......in 1973. In 2024 it doesn't hack it in any area!

@busabeast spotted in his "special" truck.

POS!

Great bit of kit, I did everything from the technical trails in the Peak District to touring right over to Colditz Castle, down through the Czech Republic, up and down the Stelvio Pass and home through Switzerland and France. One of my most favourite bikes ever……and as you know, I’ve had a few!

Too long! Probably about six weeks maybe. I think that the tracker draws a fair bit of juice. Same with the GS.

This is going to upset Buckster LOL

Me.......... I can't win a argument

Need you worry not, alls well tipped and didn't fall in to the water (Buckster) Fuck all doing now though so probably back up to the Tewkesbury yard tonight

I had a Chevy! It was a Daiwoo really, scrub that, it was a Vauxhall Astra under the bodywork. Best thing Chevrolet did withdrawing from the UK market.

I suppose they're ok if you stay out of the more modern faster roads and keep to those 40 to 60mph "period" speeds? I sometimes think about flying to Italy or Germany and pick up an old bike to ride back home on back roads. My lack of real mechanical ability kind of doesn't match that fantasy though.

A last desperate attempt to keep up with the Japs, they abandoned it and went for the T140V, a bike with a built in wrist wrestling function that doubled as a clutch.

Hell no..but maybe I'm a little old fashion in my ways..I think maybe my high school sweatheart was to blame...you see when I turned 16 and was able to work ..I was spending my summer months working ..it was and hour and half away at a grab processing plant...the slut cheated on me and has I recall it hurt real bad....and it's how I bought my first motorcycle by the way with my own money....I was 30 years-old when my twins were born..after two months of shagging this bird at the time..I didn't even really know her or had any feelings towards her at the time other than sex...but I made the decision to stick around and raise those boys...and even I could have cheated on many occasions if I wanted to..I didn't ...just didn't want my boys knowing that I was a cheater if that makes any sence...beleive me I had my share of shagging birds left and right before my boys were born and also after I separated...Aberdeen I had feelings for her...shame things didn't work out..but I'm not dueling on it...life goes on is my point of view...

That and up until recently it would have been illegal to marry your one true love, Billy Bob.

Isn't that what blokes do when we discover women. Test drive everything till you find the right one for both of you. I'll admit I know some who can't keep the trousers up.

And your trying to imply I have women problems...what a fucken knobend...lol

I'm going to visit a Long Barrow tomorrow

Good luck with test. We off to Costa del Mablethorpe tomorrow about 1pm, did I tell you?

Up early tomorrow morning as the car goes through the ITV/MOT at 8.25am. And Saturday I've got to go to fucking Albox!

I got dragged to the garden centre today and saw this sign. I think it’s perfect for @Buckster’s front door

money money money... totally pointless fight , we all want to see Tyson knock some one out for old times sake though.

I don't ever remember using my head back at that age, was lead by alcohol and the 3 piece.

Not even Jesus gets tubeless wheels!

Not to be drag...but since are two knobend mods aren't doing there job....shouldn't this be in motorcycle chat ?

Me too, if it weren't for bad luck I would have none at all.

Yeah I thought the same but like you I know someone who won a Merc Pickup thing, plus @ £2.99 a ticket I thought it was worth a punt for the sort of bike I like but would probably never pony up to buy.

I thought those Win A Bike lotteries were sort of dodgy, but someone I know won!, it was a Honda Forza 300, I have entered a couple of times, not holding my breath on a win though.

I was being kind, you haven't met him . He is one of those guys that's in the group but nobody really knows why. Apart from the fact that we have all lived in the same town forever and went to school together. I have entered one of those bike lotteries for a R60/5 with the toaster tank. Very nice, under no illusions about winning but it's nice to dream.

That was you being kind to him? Had to look Adenoidal up, learned a new word today! In my fantasy it would be a white or black single seat R50, 60 or 69S.

Specifically for Mr Can't see for the Vibes, not so hot when you are riding with a group mostly made up with modern bikes, he always has to lead so not to be left or struggle to match the pace. We are all older so don't push that much so not a massive problem but while we are bimbling along at a comfy speed he is wringing his bike to stay with us and consequently not in his bikes comfort zone or his. Plus he is an adinoidal droning fwit so none of us cares that much about him. His only talk is Land Rovers, shot guns and Bonnies and he knows everything about everything else, superior tedious fucker. I could tell many tales but it would be unkind. Now another guy in our group has a stunning 1974 Norton Commando that he has owned for 40 years, nobody minds accommodating him as he is just a decent guy who loves his Norton. I do fantasise about a R80/R90/R100 of some form the 1970's which would probably be close to modern reliability if regularly and well looked after. Don't know if I would ride with my current group with it though. I would love to do what you suggest, sounds like a brilliant adventure.

Nothing wrong with getting to know people, someone can always turn your plans upside down and that's just great. A single mother deserves respect, but she's also not innocent and gullible. There's something to be said for having good honest fun instead of always thinking too far ahead and avoiding drama that hasn't presented itself.

Has for the current girl...Tania..I've decided not to lead her on thinking there might be something there...she's just to young ...has a 13 year old boy with attention deasafit disorder...I just don't need anymore drama in my life at the moment...she's pretty..has a good job ..independent....I think I need to spend more time on my own before jumping into another relationship...

One of my riding mates has an immaculate 1973 Bonnie, it is genuinely beautiful but he has a problem with the reality of the thing. He will on one breath tell me that anything over 70 mph and he can't see through the vibs then on the next breath tell me how much better his 50 year bike is than mine. I love the old machines the look, style and sound of them but actually wanting one for every day use you genuinely would have to be some sort of masochist.

Proper 2-Wheel tune... From back when Satch still had hair...

Fortunately, that's the price for the Equinox....as if that was any consolation. The $1100 bill for tires & a battery this week on just 1 vehicle, is plenty.

For Pete. And all through those 19 years even thoe I never felt love for the mother of my twins I remaind faithful I never cheated on any of the two long-term relationships....so I ask you again...who had a women problem ? Sounds like you couldn't keep your dick in your pants and you were falling knob first in any vaginas that rolled by...

850 for tires for a bicycle? They're more than motorcycle tires?

You haven't got a clue Marcel! We are very, very different. As I said, I've been with the same girl since 1982 and from that point on I ceased my previous lifestyle. Prior to that I did have a bit of a reputation as someone who didn't exactly behave in a very gentlemanly manner with ladies. Juggling numerous birds at the same time (even when I was married to the first wife) makes your life very complicated. Pushing one bird out of one door then bringing another one in through the other door gets pretty nerve wracking at times. Did you know that side chicks don't mind about the wife being on the scene, but if another side chick comes in too and the first one finds out......things can get very nasty indeed? So......just to clarify, I have no women problems. Been with the same girl for 42 years and when I met her I cleaned up my act. So since then I've lived a very settled life. You on the other hand are nearly 60 and can't seem to maintain a relationship. So there's a big difference between us.

Well there are three that I'll take a look at , all in Wiltshire . There may be some off-road lanes involved as well

exactly.. its just a show fight.

And always visiting the pubs with the Dunker machines!

You're right. Honda's even worse, they put it on the "premium GS level" expensive Africa Twin and all the others get shit

Even the chinese put tubeless spoked wheels on bikes, what's taking Yamaha and Suzuki so long?

It's everything Pete wants in a bike.

The time it took you to reply

I knew there'd be a post at the end. If it's made in china,
