Hah !!! I was doing the same thing Fred

Exactly...................... how many times have we got to tell him

To be fair it must have been a fairly boring job. I used to deliver to a site up in Northumberland where they used to fire small rockets and stuff down this long tunnel. It was very remote and they had to keep enough provisions on site for 3 weeks as when it snowed they could be stuck in there for a long time . I never really thought about it at the time but some of those places I used to deliver when we had the Royal Ordnance contract were very interesting.

The Puriton reference was because I used to go there to collect and deliver ordnance (including TNT) when I was driving . I think the site is flattened now but it used to be huge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROF_Bridgwater

That explains a lot , i always used to wonder what was behind that gate whenever I passed on the bike. When we were kids we used to go to Sand Bay a lot, our Dad would fish off the rocks below the toll road and us kids would entertain ourselves on the beach while our Mum had a rest (from us ). One day at low tide we found what turned out to be an unexploded shell, we didn't know what it was but after dragging our Mum down to view it she called the police and they evacuated the beach while my Dad just carried on with his fishing

Very funny Did you live near Puriton at the time ?

What's Mr Slowly's new steed ?

When they were recording it Brian Wilson was not happy with the way it was being sung by Carl or Dennis Wilson so he asked Blondie Chaplin to have a go (he was a session musician for the Beach boys at the time). I guess that's why it sounds a bit different to other Beach Boys songs.

Don't forget that all important wrapping of the header pipe so that it rots 5 times faster

For me it used to be April. Every year in March my boss would ask me what I needed for the Lab , the fecker never let me buy a new bike though

That bike still looks good Fred Can you remember this one ?

Lorry drivers............... under valued for years. Despised by the public as they are in the way of their cars as they all charge to the out of town shopping centers. Ask any members of the public how those all important goods get into the shopping centers and they haven't got a clue

I can't see any of those in my albums above but I'll give it a go. My musical tastes go far and wide, I'm not stuck in one genre in the 1970's

I'll be queuing for petrol even though I can't ride my bikes

If Yamaha ask for it back I'm going to look a bit of a numpty giving back a new tank plus it was much easier to paint the new one , much less prep involved so quite a lot cheaper.

It's the O/E colour of the Matrix 998, personally I think it's hideous .

We had chicken and potatoes with peppers , I took a photo before it went in the oven as it looks so vibrant..........
