Great news, since i got me old age pension early this month on friday i spent it all on a new thicker wetsuit before sunday was out! I;ll be in the water all winter i;ll bet y;all cant wait for the picS!

full house.. see if the battery will take a charge on the CBF, we'll see.... its proper flat .

Oh, and true story, the lady intern doctor that brought me back from the brinks of death was really cute. I know that because a few guys I didn't know went in to visit me and I still have flashbacks of her slapping me awake to this day sometimes....

Guys......there's times when it's best to be selective with what information you divulge! What you make of this @Six30?

Check out the wife's T shirt taken a few weeks ago LOL we've lost count of how many times we've seen Engine and dumpy's. I'm not into going out of my way to watch bands but if their on where i am i will watch them the wife is mad into it and so is my boy now

I saw Blasted Mechanism, you wouldn't know about it. Thing is, it was in the dark period, I was drugged up and very much wasted on vodka and I didn't remember it. Except, Blasted Mechanism is a kind of steam alien punk thing with tentacles coming out their heads, like freeking squid on stage! I had flashback nightmares for ages, waking up trying to figure out why there were octopuses dancing around in foggy weather in my bad dreams! That was a shitty night of which people told me about for a year after. That was the last time I got properly drunk...

The oldest motorcycling related thing that I own and still use is my bungee cord, I always carry it under the seat after buying it in 2006, here it is holding a water bottle in Morocco in 2014 and a wine box in the Alentejo just a few weeks ago What's the oldest thing motorcycle related that you use?

If you like to be entertained by effeminate homosexuals it probably was!

Oh fuck, you reminded me that I saw Gary Glitter at Brixton Academy........the shame!

madness at preston guild hall and the petshop boys in manchester

Best bands I saw Cheap Trick Rush Deep Purple Kiss (good show crap music) George Lynch Ted Nugent Scorpions AC/DC (with and without Bon) Saxon Black Sabbath (with Ozzy and with Dio) UFO Primus LA Guns Megadeth Metallica Guns n Roses Faster Pussycat Motorhead Ozzy Def Leppard Van Halen Wendy O. Williams (not Plasmatics) ZZ Top The Babys Iron Maiden MSG ...and a shitload more that I can't think of right now. Used to go to a lot of concerts back when I was just a kid Worst bands I saw Rolling Stones Fleetwood Mac Bread Rare Earth Charlie Daniels Slaughter Winger The Ramones Genesis

Well fuck all you guys - I got to see Ram Jam back in the day....

Wishbone Ash, Curved Air, Blodwyn Pig, Mick Abrahams Band, Osibisa, Stone the Crows, Deep Purple (MkIII), Elf (with Dio), Graham Parker, Ian Dury, Stranglers, Gillan, Van Der Graaf Generator, Man, Mud, Yes, Black Sabbath, The Who, Focus.....there's more but I can't think of them! Best I saw......probably Wishbone Ash or Curved Air! Worst....Purple MkIII. Regret that I missed......Free, Skynyrd, and Bon-era AC/DC.

i still use now and again my dad's old flying jacket he used when he was riding his 650 golden flash it's seen inside lancaster bombers that thing

That YOU USE!

I had to take the welsh out of that it was making sound better than he is

Riding the Dominator today and while going through a couple of lanes I thought about the old xl600lmf I had. The engine was a bit tame for a 600, really under powered although it would get up to speed after a while and id would plod though anything. But the plush seat, soft suspension and the bike fitted me better got me thing about stuffing a dominator engine in it.

Jacket, jeans, boots......all 20 years old! I got leathers about 30 years old!

And as usual I get roped into everything that Six is involved in!

Absolutely brilliant , if I was @Six30 I'd print that off and frame it

How @XTremetells the time!

Communism has done pretty well over the last 100 or so years, just saying. Between politics and modern medicine being shot seems like easy street.

Oldest bit of kit I've got is probably me.

I saw Kiss when they did a tour without all the makeup and gear, which was pretty forgettable! Cheap Trick were good. They were my late Brother-in-law's favourite band back then. The Flame had just hit the top of the charts when we saw them. Saw Bon Jovi at Wembley arena too, that was my ex's choice.

yep i once went to one of his gang shows many years ago in manchester

TBH a new battery is probably a worthwhile investment. Running with a slightly dodgy battery could fry the stator and reg/rec and Hondas are a bit prone to that!

In that case......a T shirt I still wear, also have a pair of Akito boots from the same year, still wear those when it's dry.

I’m not a concert guy as I like to avoid crowds, but I was too busy getting born

I've got a large, flat blade screwdriver that I bought when I was replacing the front disc pads on my RD350 (1976). I was using it to push the pistons on the caliper back in!

i still have my original 76 fs1e number plate

bring back OGRI MITZI and MAL plus KICKSTART

I still have the front numberplate off my Suzuki GT550 (M reg) 1974

My R1150GS, the balance of that bike was great, good suspension for two up touring I thought, great confidence inspiring brakes, nice engine that would have loads of torque at 2500rpm, but the gearbox was shit and took a lot from the bike after a long day on the saddle. I would like that bike with a nicer gearbox, from my current 1200 for example. Then again, I prefer the 1200 in almost everything. I would prefer the 1200 to have a longer sixth speed like the 1150 had. And a smoother engine on the motorway, probably sorted by the longer sixth, no need for more power or anything like that.

Got to love a bit of Joe Bar, here's my Barry Bagar ...............

I wouldn't have been so kind, ' welsh ginger twat ' is more my level

Here there's little tolerance for speeding, 5% from what I've seen. The fine and points depend largely on the speed limit and how much over the limit. From what I can find so far is that, if the limit is greater than 50kph, then anything less than 20kph over the limit would be €68 fine and 1 point deducted. If it's only 1 point, then it's reinstated after 6 months unless you commit another offence in that time. So, just a waiting game now! I'm fairly certain that I wasn't more than 20kph over the limit.

From my experience it ran quite hot. The fan would turn on and off all the time at speeds less than 40mph in the summer and that's an English summer, so at 30C+ over here I think that it would be on all the time. Otherwise it would be quite suited to the roads here, however, I think that my license wouldn't last as long!

be better if we could understand it

Hows this for annoying, i just found out i had $210 in cash points on my credit card i dint know about, payday! .

Don’t need to you’re the knob I was talking about.

Very good, except for the last frame. " Fuck off Six, no you can't have my van"?

it's the same with me with more crap news (MCN) its full of plastic rockets and adverts haven't bought it for years

Immediate thought is my Kawasaki 500 H1 in 1975......crazy motor but nothing else. Brakes? Handling? No need for that shit.....just point the fucking thing and hope for the best! Also any Suzuki I've had......strong engines but the rest of it tends to be cheap and nasty with tacky plastics, sloppy wiring, and bad welds! Accompanied by rust! Lots of it! The Brits I had in the early 70's were shit motors, but the rest of the bike was shit as well! They got the balance right for sure!

Wrong story, Pete.

No, but seeking out a more credible source of the story helps immensely. There was a "newspaper " in the UK that once ran a story about a WWII bomber had been found on the moon. Just because it's reported in print doesn't always mean that the story is true. And, quite honestly, Murdoch has his own agenda, which revolves around what Murdoch wants! Editorial impartiality is not evident in any of his rags or TV channels. I tend to ask "what is his agenda" before accepting anything his media empire reports.

the Sun! I wouldn't wipe my arse on that comic!

Sorry I deleted the pic, here it is...
