They'd look at you with a blank stare if you turned up on a Jap bike I'm also not sure if they're still going ......................... https://www.classicbikeguide.com/end-of-the-road-for-charlies/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I use this place quite often, his prices make the bike shops around here seem like thieves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's something that may be of interest to you Yen. When they did a hole somewhere here, they always get an audience of locals that just stand around the hole and watch them work. They'll stand there for hours just looking in the hole! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that, when they start a proper building in a city they obviously have to dig deep for the foundations and underground garages and whatever, that goes on for weeks and those construction fans, usually retired older men, peek holes through the fence to investigate the progress, it's quite the show apparently! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a motorcycle rally near Banwell, hopefully not as sick and twisted as the ones Yen goes to and not as gay as the ones Buckster attends Could be dodgy, watch out for the ones with six toes And if you happen to see @Slowlycatchymonkey take a photo of her BSA otherwise we'll all be dead before we see it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
