  1. I’ve seen pictures of you, you would not have been out of place there
  2. She won't admit it but she loves the singing and knew the words to everything we sang. I think the chance of a Rattler drew her along though
  3. Well my groups day of song went like a charm, over 100 singers and a crowd of just over 500, many more outside the marquee. All food sold out, don't know numbers for beer sales yet but pretty sure there were plenty. Been a bit jaded today and I reckong my voice has dropped an octave. Great day though and as far as I can tell everybody happy.

    Cleanish

    I will get back to you to see how I get on with and without the tank bag and the new screen. Sure I could make something similar if need be. I remember my old BMW R100RS had bellows type gaiters between the fairing and fork tubes and I always thought that was just about water but looking back it obviously blocked air as well. That RS fairing was bloody good, very quiet and dry place to be even in the pissing rain as long as you were moving.

    Cleanish

    Some goodies turned up yesterday so had a play this morning. I had the tank bag already but had to get a second ring so that I can use it on this bike. Also getting a lot of buffeting and turbulent air off the standard screen so got a taller one to see how that goes.
  6. Thanks Fred that’s interesting. I had a small interest in something similar but not the same when I was a 16er. There was a group of us on Fizzies and AP50’s and decided to wear cut off denim’s with back panel painted white with Blaise written along the bottom. One of the lads was an artist and did a good job. Early 1980’s. Anyway after about a week of riding around several of us were around a caravan rented by a couple of local girls where we used to hang out. Next thing we’re knew the lights went out and 4 guys from the local bike group burst in with a sawn off shot gun and threatened us, took our denims and burnt them. Needless to say that was the end of that. Fucking shit us all up good and proper. Anyway over the years I got to know several of the group, in fact at one point I used to deliver the post to their club house. Never had an issue with any of them, probably didn’t hurt that I was related to one of them as well. I could tell several tales but won’t on the forum. They were the only group locally that I knew of and that was why I was surprised to see these new groups popping up, I didn’t think they would be tolerated. But as I said I know nothing of this world now and certainly have no interest in getting involved in it. Well apart from the HOC UK that is
  7. Woohoo just had the call and I don't have to work tonight so a good night's sleep for tomorrow's antics.
  8. FFS you off your meds again?
  9. Do you spend a lot of time in front the mirror ?
  10. Mate I am past caring about any of that sort of stuff, we are all here for a short time, might as well be happy and have a laugh.
  11. Fair enough, I don't really know much about any of it or really want to just had a passing interest because I met a couple of them. I'm pretty civil and respectful to everyone I meet so don't need to make any different effort, nothing to do with intimidation just the right way to be. You obviously know more about this world I will respect and listen to what you have to say.
  12. Yeah it says that on their website, but they are throwing their net wider apparently looking for associates.
  13. I ran into a couple of these guys up at Damerells the other day, not unfriendly but I thought they looked abit odd all patched up. https://widowssonssw.co.uk/the-earl-of-st-germans-lodge-7031/ I thought that was the preserve of Hells Angel type club. I have seen a couple of others around like it too, is this a common thing nowadays? It has totally passed me by I was just not aware. It's just that I got a notification from them on FaceBook and went to there webpage out of interest. I am not Masonic and patched up cosplay isn't really my thing so don't want to join anything like it but is this the way things are going now?
  14. Funnily enough I have been in all of those groups. I left the Elderberries in February, good bunch of lads but I was just overcommitted. All acapella harmony singing tho mate, no budding Eric Clapton's. Well the Wreckers may abuse some instruments but definitely no rock. I think we have a Female line dancing group turning up as well to sing and dance which is going to be interesting to say the least. They are not on the poster because it was a last minute thing.
  15. I have a manic weekend coming up as my singing group is holding a music festival/event up at the rugby club. Spent several hours last night setting things up. Much more going on as well as the singing but I am only involved in the singing side. I am supposed to be working tonight but I don't think I have a clinician so may not have to go in but haven't had the word yet. Tomorrow I have to be up the club for 2:00pm which will be squeaky if I have to work but easy if not. Sunday night working for sure. Plus I also have obsessively cleaned both my bikes today
  16. Just had a blast up to Dameralls to give the Hornet a run. Of course my Shadow had to come and be fed. Nice CBF1000 parked outside. We had a look around the showroom but they must have sold loads of stock mostly new current range stuff. Of course Shadow didn’t want her photo taken then proceeded to walk into everyone and scowl at me. Stroppy as always.
  17. I think that is spot on and I do think the same will be true with budget mainstream cars and commercials.
  18. I thought it was to do with Marcels coming road trip and room sharing.
  19. My youngest works in a bakery, at the end of the day the staff are told take whatever you want home as the day’s leftovers go in the bin. I said I wouldn’t mind a pasty if you get the chance. Typical of her, over the top. Now the freezer is full
  20. Gotta love the private car parks, the council ones are free for bikes.
  21. It will have to be lowered for her to ride it, she can't touch the floor, I know small people do but she hasn't that skill yet.
  22. Keys were in my Pocket
  23. 52 litres baby, Shad tastic, well Givi but you get the point. Probably never use it but it came with the bike.
