I'm pretty sure Pete wore every one of those items

Like Chris said, a bloody Transit van ?

I like to think that I'm not a bike snob, i've owned lots of different makes of bikes. In recent years I've had a lot of european bikes, some good, some not so but at the moment I have three 'Jap' bikes. Nowadays your bike could be built anywhere, I have a Yamaha that was built in France, a Suzuki that was built in Japan and a Honda that was built in Thailand

I thought it was the Terminator riding that Kawasaki

I feel your pain Bruce, growing up is hard enough without the burden of being different. My son has apergers, he was lucky as we got him into a special needs school so he didn't suffer as those kids don't judge. I can only say that it gets a bit easier (but not simple) as they get older. Paolo is 26 now, he sings in a choir , he goes to college one day a week to learn languages and generally keeps busy. He's not interested in a mobile phone (phew) but there's still a lot of anxiety at times.

I feel your pain Ren , I went to one last year. I talked to my mate about him and yes he knew him as well. RIP Alan jones.

Personally I don't give a flying fuck about the economy, that's all a lot of people ever think about , money. 'Growth' I hear that all the time, why has the economy got to grow all the time. The economy will survive, lives are more important .

That looks shit Pete, I don't know how you put up with all that traffic

Welcome

I've ridden two 1090's and 1190 before that, they are nice bikes but it's not a proper KTM imo, the 950/990's are true KTM's .

Mainly I shall be doing f**k all , the same as most days last week . I'm not going back to work yet and my bikes are still sorned.

You have it in a nutshell Sofia, Honda's are always easy to ride. European bikes take a bit more thought but have much more soul. My Transalps and Africa Twins rode themselves, the KTM's would bite you if you took liberties ?

I rode to a filling station to get some petrol on my Lambretta when I first had it, after paying I came out and couldn't find my helmet. After a lot of searching I rode home without it thinking someone had stolen it. When I got back I found it sitting on the shelf in my flat

Will it take the weight of that KLR

Top quality

Cheers Fred. Apart from my family, motorcycles are what keeps me going, the commeraderie amongst bikers is like no other group of people.

I use my heal noe Pedro, I started off with a push button gear changer but the electrics weren't keen on river crossings ??

Great story, superb photos ?

Do you use them outside Dave ? I've had two of them for years now and they work fine, but mine are only used in the garage.

My memorable motorcycling moment came in April 2002. On that day I rode a trail bike again , minus half of my left leg. I had no idea when I set off that morning wether I'd still be able to ride on rough surfaces, wether I'd be able to balance, change gear and lots of other things that were going through my head. When I got back from that ride you couldn't wipe the grin from my face for days ?

That's ace work Fred, I'll log that one for future reference ?

My bikes are still sorned, i'm waiting for June 1st............

I'll start, one legged bombing................................. ?

I'm not even going there, I have a 3.5 litre car, it's not cheap to tax ?
