  1. This is a picture of a Geordie, referring to a band formed by two men from Scotland isn't it?
  2. I reported a 100 loose sheep outside my father in laws house at 2am. Their bleating woke me up and look out of the window. I was worried they would go down the steps to the A40 which is in a cutting next to the road his house was in. No mobile phones and he didn't have a house phone. I waded through through the mob of stupid sheepy things, down to the phone box at the top of the lane and rang the Welsh Police ( Heddlu?). I walked back down the dead end lane (see GSV link) and there was not a single sheep to be seen. I walked down the steps to the A40, not a sign of the little fuckers. As I came back up into the lane the police car pulled up and I had to break the news I had lost them https://goo.gl/maps/GcLzgjATSbm3A4xh9 I thought I was going to be arrested for wasting police time and given a beating with a rubber hose. Turned out they had all somehow wedged into one of the tiny back gardens!!! They were all gone by the time I woke up!
  3. I lived in Germany from just after my birth until I was 5 and my brother was born there as my dad was an RAF Policeman and it was vital that he extracted the brill cream boys from the German pubs on a Friday night in case of a Russian invasion over the weekend. The rest of the time he was a dog handler, so we shared the house with a hulking great Alsatian called 'Bruce'! When my brother was in his early 20s his employer wanted him to travel to somewhere in Europe, but he had a lot of trouble getting a British passport because of not being born in the UK.
  4. Oh dear what can the matter be? A ginger Taf locked in the lavatory.....
  5. I had a wee at the next urinal with him last year I think it was. He was riding a super long chopper (a motorcycle, not his todger) around a speedway track against a load of other stretched out bikes. I have also raced against Chris Walker and James Toesland in a fun Enduro run by a friend of mine. The idea was you shared a bike with another person and took turns riding and could swap at any time, they were a team together. I only came 10 places behind them, which sounds good but I should point out there were only 11 teams. I was on my DR350, my mate did the first lap, came back all purple faced and breathless then when I jumped on and tried to ride off I discovered the gear lever was all curly shaped. He insisted he hadn't fell off.
  6. There's a chickenstrip on Bike Chat Forums
  7. Pete has given me a full briefing, he's called Bill, he lives or lived somewhere near New York. I have narrowed it down to about 30 million citizens. Does anyone else have any other information, I could do with a bit more, I don't even remember him clearly on the old forum???? User names on other forums, other places he was on etc. A full name and address would be good too.
  8. Hope so, no idea if I'll get any money back for the holiday, more likely to get a voucher for a rebook so i could still make it out to the land of the sardine.
  9. Howdo matey, I should have been in Portugal last week but British Airways didn't want to fly there for some reason. I think I was going to be in a place called Praia da Rocha just outside Portimão. I was in Albufeira a few years ago and discoverd that Cliff Richard has got a street named after him there. I could only get a scooter there, all the proper bikes were out on hire!
  10. That was a while ago now, I was on my Varadero. I think I have seen you at Peterborough since then, but that may be out of order, I get confused easily.
  11. Yes, bought it new in Feb 2015 so it is 5 and a small bit years old. Waiting to sell a house still, the lock down hit me mid conveyancing, then I am getting a new bike.
  12. Keeps the seat lubricated so I don't get friction burns.
  13. I'm good, how are you Phil?
  14. My current Versys which is about 70 miles short of a 100,000 miles and not a chance to ride it at the moment unless they call me back from working at home. My non running 107,000 mile Africa Twin that I will be flogging off for spares when the world settles down. Had to pump the tyres up to get it outside to photograph. Been standing for about 9 years I reckon.
  15. Hello my name is Yen and today I rode a push bike. Poxy things, make your legs go all weak and shaky....and not in a good way.
  16. You must be about a 110 by now?
