Just got some personal items brought over from the UK, old photos etc, that had been stored in my dad’s flat for years. Ended up in a mate’s lock up for a while but now all back here. Had a quick browse through this morning and found some great old photos. Here’s me on my way back from the Italian lakes circa mid 1990’s on the Cagiva Elefant 750. Absolutely soaked through due to crappy waterproofs. Old Skool cool!

beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

You're a wrong 'un

Nothing exceptional really just a 40 mile run up to Damerells and back with my mate on his new Z900RS. Some really nice bikes up there and saw another CBF600. Some tidy bikes but most of them I have seen before. Doesn’t seem to matter which bike night you go to down here most of the same group to to every one. Mind you having said that I did see a really nice Harley Street Rod 750 in white and a new Trident 660 that was cool. Didn’t take many photos tonight. Dunno why really Really tidy Sportster.

Not my day today but my fortnight. Just over two weeks ago I decided it might be a good idea to get some excersise and get rid of my podgy belly, so I set about a plan... Day 1 2 x 10kg weights, pick up one in each had from the floor, carry them upstairs, place them down on the landing, pause for 5 secs, pick them up carry them back to the living room, repeat this 5 times, then pause for 5 minutes and repeat 5 times, so that was half a ton up and half a ton back down, it was strenuos mainly on my breathing. Day 1 done, day 2 the same, though part way through I start feeling a bit ill so I carry on but just do half as maybe I was pushing a little too hard. The next morning I wake up with my ribs on fire, every tiny muscle that controls my breathing was cramping up, the pain was mental and trying to relax muscles you don't normally control conciously was very difficult. Anyway, I went to the docs, she said it was an infection despite symptoms like not being able to straighten up not fitting the diagnosis, she gave me antibiotics, a few days later I had to go back as the pains was still mental, I hadn't ben able to lay down to sleep as tilting my upper body made the pain much worse and caused pain in my head too, the docs gave me some full strangth cocodamol, that took the edge off a tiny bit but not enough. Last day of my antibiotoics and things hadn't improved, went back to the doc who said there's no infection now, it'll be fine. 2 days later I think I might be able to sleep in my bed and lay down, nope, fucking nope, all the pain straight back to day 1 (it was lucky I did that) Next morning I ask for a cal back from the docs, I can't get there due to the pain, this time I got a doc who figured something wasn't right (fluke 2) so he sent me to A&E where the doctor just happened to have dealt with the same symptoms numerous times, she insisted that the radiographer does a cat scan as the radigropher thoughthere was no need, turns out the doc was right, when the radiographer phoned her she confirmed it was a clot in my lung as well as more infection Two weeks of ridiculous pain, damned lucky t still be here, no thanks to the incompetence of the first 3 doc visits Anyway, still in a shit load of pain but apparently it will improve over the next few days as the clot busting meds do their thing, they did want to keep me in but no beds in the hospital, typical NHS that Moral of the story, don't be a cunt, be a fatty, excersise is not good for you (OK maybe 1 ton a day for a 64 year old who hasn't kept fit for several years might have been a tad ott)

I used to think "itchyfanny" was a Japanese motorcycle company back in the 70's

You should tell them you have always been that ugly.

Speedy Recovery @boboneleg! Looking at a 280 mile drive this morning....to the other side of OR for the annual Hangar Dance & 45th HS reunion...."See some old friends, Good for the Soul"...as the Bob Segar song states.

was on my way with grapes ... but i ate em ... turned round and gone home , sorry @boboneleg

My mate who recently bought a new Z900RS has just bought this 20 miles away. 22k miles and massive folder of receipts for £950. I thought about it and thought about it, sent the link to my mate, who has similar tastes, to ask his opinion, he messaged back, sorry mate it's already in the back of my van. Beat me to it the fucker, my fault for not jumping when I saw it .

Picture of the odometer I took at my mechanic's place a while ago. Also a 750, he rebuilt it at 200000 and it was still going strong. The guy gave it away at 750 I think I did look properly used, as it had been to India and such places, but not 600.000km used.

Looks nice and quiet. In major hospitals here they ask you if you prefer to die there or at home

What you need is some scooters down there , that would liven things up ........

We have all seen your Dildo taste

Bargain @skyrider mode off

Babyliss.

No , but I'll feel better tomorrow waking up in my own bed

Yours wasn't available

There's a local bikers cafe here that have always had a scooter meet on certain days. I'll try and get some pics if I'm about. There's an orange Jeans model that always get my attention as I go passed

you best get yourself back in there Bob.. your starting to look a bit rough mate.

Good progress but what have you been doing with that hoover pipe.

Make it worth your while and see a plastic surgeon as well while you are there.

There is a big scooter club in St Austell, they do pop along now and again. Do quite often see them out on the road.

I know enough to stay on this side of the pond....

900 SS Duc....

'78 500 MX start...

your ear is spreading across your face !! .... thats fucked up.

Get well, @boboneleg!

I’ll take that mate

PX200E

he done you a favour ,

I have always had an itch for one, I know it's old tech and my CBF is a better bike there is that hankering. I had a K100RS years ago and really liked it but it was just to heavy and tall for me, hence why I thought a K75S might be a better option. That one needs a few bits to make it an everyday but bike for around another £500 you would have a very useable retro or classic.

I think his bikes are cool and unique but not 50K cool. Is it him trying to get that though or some chancer?

Wouldn't you find it a bit dated after your newer bikes or just wanted it? Missed a good deal though.

Clever bloke but don't think his name makes it worth that money.

Me too, I think they look like bikes should. Can't see me ever owning one, I'm not about the noise or vibes or tassels but I do think a simple unspoiled Harley without the skulls and pointy tat is a very cool looking machine.

So here I am, squinting at the computer, my eye is still a bit swollen. So, "What happened?", you say... Well it was like this .... My wife, lovely woman that she is, apparently thought that our sex life needed a bit of "spicing up." So, unbeknownst to me mind you, she went out and bought a peephole bra and crotchless panties lingerie set. Then yesterday evening, after she cooked my favourite meal and sharing a really nice bottle of wine, we were sitting in the lounge relaxing with some more wine and watching a movie. After a while I noticed that she kept crossing and uncrossing her legs, and it was then that, on closer inspection, I first saw the new panties she was wearing. Somewhat surprised I asked her, “Are you wearing crotchless panties?” She answered me, somewhat huskily, “Y-e-s darling, I was wondering when you'd notice.....” So I said, “Thank God!" "For a minute there I thought you were sitting on the cat!” I never even saw it coming !!!

There is a lot to be said for having rocker arms.

I’m currently liking Harleys, at least to look at. Some days you just don’t feel like getting the phone out to take pictures.

AN ADULT FAIRY TALE: Once upon a time there lived a King who had the most beautiful daughter. But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what: Metal,Wood, Stone Anything she touched would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The King despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the King, 'If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured.' The King was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the King's wealth. THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE. The first brought a sword of the finest steel. But alas, when the Princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away, sadly. The second prince brought diamonds. He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once the Princess touched them, they melted. He too was sent away disappointed. The third prince approached. He told the Princess, 'Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there.' The Princess did as she was told, though she turned red. She felt some thing very hard. She held it in her hand. And it did not melt!!! The King was over joyed. Everybody in the kingdom was over joyed. And the Prince married the Princess and they both lived happily ever after Question: What was in the Prince's pants? M&M's of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking? I WORRY ABOUT YOU AT TIMES!

GP 500....circa '87....

Just been out playing with my Jennychem Father’s Day present and made a target for the Shitehawks. .

every one says that

I hear him saying 'look at that wanker' every time I'm out on one of my Vespa's

I still think of him quite often and it still doesn’t seem real that he’s no longer here. It’s usually when I’m out on my bike and some god-awful run down shit hole comes into view! I bet he’s looking down on us, probably thinking what a bunch of twats we all are……..in fact, I’m sure I heard him whisper “you cockney wanker” the other day. Miss you Pete.
