That looks like a GXL or Ghia, mine was just a lowly 1600L I had a yellow 1300L. Wasn't long before I stuck a 2000cc engine and gearbox in on the 1300 axle. Used to get to a ton in no time but would go no more as it was out of revs. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Well that hasn’t started positively. Got in the queue to check in hold luggage and when it opened they decided to change the desk to the one next to me so I ended up at the back of the queue. No issue really until they then decide that the original desk number was in fact correct so we all trudge back and now I’m at the back of the back of the fucking queue. Fast forward 30 mins and now I get pulled over at the security point for a random check. Everyone stares as if I’m a criminal and the security guard is clearly on a power trip. Cunt. At least I haven’t been bummed. Yet. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately most of our local airports are fairly small, so it's never too much of a problem, but coming back from Stansted or Gatwick are usually a nightmare! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 It's gone manic here with work! I got two sites on the go and this morning I was contacted by a very prestigious classic bike dealer in the UK. What he's got is all screwed up and the twats can't sort it out......so he asked around for somebody who can actually do it properly and my name came up. So I'm doing a Demo for him now as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew from there plenty of times when it first opened and it was brilliant, because it was so quiet in there. I used to fly UK Air to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen on a weekly basis, or even several times a week at times, and at that time you could park out the front of the terminal building, stroll in and be on the plane within the hour! Not so, now! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so, now! It has been a few years since we used air travel, would have to renew our passports, and I don't think it is really worth it. Looks like Jersey or Guernsey is the furthest we could fly, but I hear its damn expensive there, so that rules that out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
