XTreme

Hair dryer.....peel off bit by bit......then use Triple Wax to remove all residue. Suzuki stickers are the worst.....the whole bike could fall apart but the stickers will still be there.

I've done most of them Bob......this Beemer is the exception cos it's very fiddly. Plus I'm too old to roll round on the garage floor now.

Definitely worth it Clive!

When was the oil changed last @Clive? In terms of miles and time? First thing I'd do is change oil and filter!

I think the Vespa is 24bhp though.

Has Mad @Mawsley seen this shit yet?

i think they were having a whip round for stickers on the other forum if that's any use Clive!

We're both Torchy the Battery Boy then Bob? Remember this @Clive?

@MooN @boboneleg......this is what I always take with me in case I encounter dark places! Straps around the head, lasts for up to two hours, and you charge it in the same way as you do with your mobile! Costs less than a tenner as well!

She's a 6 foot 80 year old as well!

That's how it should be though Clive! People talk about me changing bikes but you've had 4 (compared to my 2) in the last 15 months.

You need to change from 500cc Thumper to the new one in your profile as well.

That looks pretty good Clive! But it's a Daelim......not a Dealim. Who makes the engines for those.......or is it their own?

Excellent Tony.......and this has to be a BOTM submission!

Brilliant shots Alan! Did Mary have her Bantam with her.....because she was having it done up I think? And how didn't you have a photo with Sam Manicom.......he's always in everybody's pics! And usually surrounded by women!

It was late 1973 and this bird I was going out with said her mother was going to be away for the night and did I want to stay? Well it would have been rude not to. Anyway.....about 8 am the following morning I woke up and heard the front door go. She looked outside and said her mother had got back! The bird said to grab my clothes and get in the cupboard, then make a break through the front door when the coast was clear!! So in I went.......bollocks naked holding all my clothes. Her mother came in the bedroom to take a look and I'm in the wardrobe trying not to breathe in case I gave myself away. Then her and her mother went downstairs towards the dining room and kitchen at the back of the house. In a blind panic I ran for the front door and straight out onto the pavement.......completely forgetting that I was carrying my clothes not wearing them! So there was I.....on the street bollocks naked in front of a bus stop full of people who were waiting for the bus to go to work. Even worse was that it was a rather cold morning.......so I wasn't physically at my best!

@boboneleg......great bit of film!

Yeh.......nothing is certain any more! We've been going through this Covid shit for nearly 2 years now, and I don't see any end in sight at the moment!

Amazing pics Bob.......when do you plan to go back?

And time's running out for us Bob! I'd have to do Gold Beach and Muhlberg.......6000km round trip. The wife would like to do Gold Beach as well because her father was on the landings as well. No idea what regiment.....all we know is he drove a tank and eventually ended up at Belsen. But like all that generation he never spoke about it.

Absolutely Bob. He was with The Royal Gloucestershire Regiment and captured by the Germans because he was recon for the advancing Allied forces. He was then a POW in this camp until he was liberated......this is another place I have to visit:

Same here cos my father was on the D-Day landings.....Gloster Regiment!

Wow.......what a story Yen!
