Skippy

Actually, one of my distant relatives on my mum‘s side was in fact, the tallest man in the world at one time. His name was George Auger and he was 8‘3“ tall and served as a copper for a period of time in Cardiff. Google it and learn something.

No, it’s a dagger to stab people who fuck me off.

Good job I took one of a working bike before Pete jinxed it.

Anti clockwise you say…….that’s to the left for you @XTreme. Loosely lefty, righty tighty

I’m very tall in my stilettos

It feels like a curse

Yes that’s cheered me up.

Well fuck me, they say bad things happen in three’s and having busted my jacket zip and then had the FI light come on I was waiting for the third thing and this morning it arrived. The fucking tank on the z750 has bubbled up where the repair was carried out. I blame @XTreme and his love of misery and desolation. FER FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!!!

That’s true that is.

Just be careful if you fit a top box as the standard racks are notoriously weak and will snap if you put too much weight on it. There are a few strengthening kits available but I’d get in touch with CoooerB Motorcycles based near Northampton as they are Enfield specialists and can provide a really good kit. I had one on my Himalayan and it worked out well. If you do speak to them ask for Ian and say Skippy says hello………..and start sharing your biscuits

Which just goes to prove that if you want proper danger you have to come to the capital

Just did a quick Google search for official RE dealers and there are two either side of you @Slowlycatchymonkey. One is towards Malaga and the other closer to Almeria but it might be worth giving them a call and asking if anyone speaks English. Surely they should be able to help?

They’re afraid to try it because they know they like it.

I’d fancy another trip over as long as I stay out of Huescar town limits. My bike doesn’t like it.

I’ve had two over the years but the first one I bought was when I took my first TL1000S into my mate’s shop for a service and he always let me take a bike out for a few hours. Now, I’d had a real assortment of bikes as a loan bike from him over the years but taking that Busa out was off the scale. I spent the first hour trying to calibrate my brain to the acceleratorion, the second hour muttering to myself “why on earth would anyone need this kind of power?” and the third and final hour telling myself that in no account was I going to buy one. I’d been back in the shop for a minute before I ordered one. They are that kind of bike.

The lady doesn’t lie

To be honest, it was one of my most favourite bikes and I’ve had a lot of them. I found I could load it up with the Mrs and luggage and blast off to Europe. It was ballistically fast but easy to ride slow too. It was a real feel good bike and if I win the lottery I will buy another one just keep in the garage and take it out when the mood takes me.

I don’t think they’ve got the minerals Pete.

Gotta love a Hayabusa But you’re right, it’s an age thing now! That’s me, when I bounced a whole lot better than I do now, going round Donnington Park on a track day. What was I thinking of?

She looks familiar?She looks familiar?

When our Labrador (Lou) was a pup and she stuck her head in the takeaway bag………a chicken madras I believe.

I have the skill but sadly lack the inclination.

I didn’t realise there was a start time for such things?
