  1. Is that a personal observation mate?

    Phil Read!

    That description probably applies to a few on here?

    Phil Read!

    Bumped into him and his missus waiting for a flight from Frankfurt many years ago. Came across as a decent bloke to be fair and had some great stories about his rivalry with Barry Sheene.
  4. It’s the ride mate, the destination is just for lunch………….probably head south to Huercal Overa on the way back and then east to Mazarron. It’s just a training run. Practice for next time when I come over to you.
  5. It’s about 100 klms away and you can do it in an hour if you use the motorway but that’s not the plan for Sunday. We’ll cut across country via Lorca, La Paroquia and Velez Rubio. Probably the best part of two hours ride.
  6. Ta. It was a bit misty today but I ain’t complaining after the heatwave summer we’ve had this year. Out on Sunday too across to Velez Blanco.
  7. At last!!!!!!!!!! Out for a short spin along the coast between Mazarron and Aguilas. Great roads, twisty as you like, hardly any traffic but care needed in the blind bends to avoid the odd rock fall.
  8. Stolen goods. My childhood was quite an education.
  9. After the tequila the hippo was found lying face down in the mud. Naturally.
  10. I’ve no idea how these photos get selected but they always manage to make me laugh . Feeding a hippopotamus tequila at the Dragon Rally circa 2013.
  11. Seems to be mate, got a few bits and bobs to fit tomorrow (small screen, adjustable levers, grab rail, bar end mirrors).
  12. Yep, looks nasty. We seem to be okay so no complaints.
  13. First day I could actually get out on the bike since getting it back and it rained. Wonderful.
  14. Great effort, the first time is always the key time…….you’ll either go back for more or walk away for good. Now you’ll have to buy a dirt bike!
  15. Well, when I say solarium I really mean a hole in the roof I can poke my head through.
  16. It’s the bloody thing that stops me seeing the Mediterranean Sea from my solarium Bob! I think it’s called the Sierra de Moreras……..just a ribbon of hills that stops the sea from rushing inland.
  17. About as close as I can get to a cockpit at the moment
  18. Well, that’s another story mate.
  19. Tank top photo at about 12 years old taken on a school trip to France (Le Treport) and the posing stud muffin photo taken in Florence when I was just 17. The next day I dislocated my left shoulder for the first time showing off in front of some French nurses while pissed up. Wounded soldier photo taken somewhere in Pisa.
  20. Berrymead Junior School……..no idea how old I was. What a complete inner city shithole that school was!
  21. That’s true that is. My first wife was a nurse…….maniac.
  22. Just so you’re up to date @XTreme it’s now 8 weeks since I dropped the bike off to be repaired. Cunts.
  23. Fifteen years time? I’ll still be waiting for the Kawasaki tank and still trying to get the DR running. Thanks, I’m fucking depressed now.
