Catteeclan

Bit blowy out there but assuming I can get passed the guard wabbits I'm nipping out.

I enjoyed bookface when I first signed up. Got to talk to my brother which doesn't happen, he only lives round the corner. In fact I kept in touch with all my family on there. I knocked it on the head when I'd had my fill of ads and and bogus warnings of scams my family kept sending. I've always been on forums, for bikes and info nothing else. Met some good people along the way too.

Keep you warm on a cool day.

I'd lost my license before I was 16. We'd get anything we could going and ride it, first name basis with all the local plod. Started pushing the bikes to a field down the road, then we'd ride them down the road, then the petrol station, shops you get the idea.

I hope you're going for a test ride first.

Not one's mentioned the baby Strom?

I should of added the stator burnt out and the idle control valve was a twat from the start. But she loved it, then replaced with a newer white one. Haven't had any probs with this one other than her dropping it doing a U turn but we're all getting older.

Mandis first cbf1000 went back to change the bars, big festering lump of rust burst through the chrome.

I'm still have probs not sniggering with the name Motion pro.

Not as well built as the xt1200 either. I'm really enjoying it. A friend had the mt09 and said he's gonna lose his license so I thought these were maybe tuned down but once you click the sporty setting and give it some revs it's a bloody rocket ship. Far faster than I need to go. Lighter than the big XT which is why I traded but not quite as comfy, but only in the seat and more bent legs. TFT dash is good too. Once I get this front brake sorted I'll be a happy bunny again.

Build quality isn't a patch on my TDM and your Fazer but I do like it. Cracking engine.

Mine looks a bit wanting.

Cup hocks, you were lucky, we used nails which had prob been used before.

Fazer looks good in yellow

Bloody good stuff when made in Japan. Butt plugs?

Yeap.

Whatever floats your boat Tym, I just don't see it other than having 2 wheels. Bet you would of had more fun on the klr.

Yes, some wanker went the wrong way up a slip road to a dual carriageway as Mike was coming down.

Lost a few on the TDM forum, one being Stormy.

Me, ain't been anywhere. Unless I can count my pushbike, been to work n back a couple of times. Thought I'd get out last weekend till the bloody gritters spewed their shit everywhere again. Got loads of rain in the forecast to wash it away closely followed by another cold spell.

WTF was that music all about.

Wankers. Glad you pulled them up on it. Power corrupts

Like Swagman said, snow, cold and bloody salt everywhere. Bikes are going nowhere. But Mandi's ordered a treadmill and it's being delivered today, wonder if I can get a minimoto on it on front of the tele..

Me and the misses went here a couple of years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre We cheated for Poland and took a plane.

Just had a quick look on google myself Yes it was the cats paw tyres on my XL. That had a 23 inch front wheel and at the time you couldn't get much else. Can't remember who made them as what you see now are copies.
