Says a Cockney! Nailed it Fred! As if spending 6 days with a bunch of fucking Cockneys is a better choice than getting a new bike!

On remand then?

So here’s a radical thought. Instead of changing your bike, why don’t you take the money you would have to spend on getting a new one and use it for a hair transplant or an upmarket rug?

BOTM surely?

That's NextGen shit for sure!

Where've you been?

Need to know basis Pedro! Inevitably.....at some point......there will be a Poll!

In this place?

Thanks Clive......you gave me some bullets to fire! I just dropped into the conversation with the wife that your mrs may pressure you to get rid of the scoot cos she can't see the point of having it. She really got worked up about it, and said to tell you to say that she needs to sell her wheelchair cos you can't see the point of her having it. And that a wife has no right to compel her husband to do things they don't want to do! I agreed of course.......saying it would be like me telling you to get rid of the horses. I thought better of adding....."and you telling me I can't change the bike". That would be moving too quick! But the seed has been planted!

Like a still from a Horror movie!

Makes no odds Bob! The only difference is the demographic has changed with me!

I remember seeing that in the "pictures" when I was a kid! Somehow we went from "the pictures" to "the cinema" to "the movies" within our lifetime!

Someone like me paying for a shag?

Yours is obsessive about that as well then?

No more Scoot?

The phrases "something's happening" and "putting a deal together" have been used many times over the years Bob!

But it's going to be a long buildup process and I need to choose my time carefully. Because I've been thinking about the Milestone (or some may say Tombstone) that awaits me in a month's time! You see, I was the teenager that people said would never live to reach the age of 20 due to my (perceived) status as an erratic and risk taking motorcyclist. Well I reached 20 just fine despite hitting the deck about 20 times! In my twenties I had the same thing, but not on such a grand scale because by then I was leaving a margin for error. Not a wide one admittedly, but a margin nonetheless. And I only hit the deck once......unfortunately it was at 110mph. But I got up as I always did! Time went on and I reached my 30's.....then my 40's, 50's, and 60's. And I'm still here and still doing it, and never hit the deck since 1978! Now I'm staring down the barrel of my 70's! So I want to build up this age milestone in the conscious of the wife (who just about tolerates motorcycles)......in order to make a special occasion of it! And what better way to mark this occasion than putting a deal together? However, she has over 40 years experience of dealing with me bullshitting, deflecting, manipulating.......and at times, just outright lying! So it's going to be a tough nut to crack. Basically I've got to try and work it to the point that she suggests it.....not me! Then I suppose I'll sort of grudgingly agree! Just to keep her happy you understand? Watch this space!

They won.....now they got to get over it!

Keep the car well fueled and ready to go!

And it's Easter weekend with the clocks going forward! Easter weekend always makes me think of following the Transatlantic Series around in the 70's......I normally did Mallory and/or Oulton. Good times......not a care in the world and no responsibilities back then! Unlike now! No hope of bringing on back the good times these days! Look at this shit! So I'm sidelined......what about you?

Yeh.....but just think of the Sovereignty that you have now! And you no longer have to live under the jackboots of Juncker's Stormtroopers!

This one just went live: Catamarans For Sale I've been on it for a couple of weeks as it's quite complex with various levels of paid subscriptions.

Fuck that! If anything new is on the way it'll be a bike! I drive cars till they expire!

I did hear a clunk now and again......didn't think anything of it! But it's all done and returned to the house!
