You always had an eye for the part worns Dave!

I called Domingo the plumber at 10am and he just came round to replace the upstairs toilet mechanism and repair the downstairs one! It cost €50 (£42).......how much in Britain these days for that cos I can remember plumbers charging silly prices?

This Winter seems to have gone on forever Clive!

Weather's not that good...... ......and I've got a site to build as well. Hopefully I can get out for a while tomorrow though! What about you lot?

I got a mate who does tours there.....but it's fucking hard!

You mean 19" you Casual!

Probably took the easy way out so he could swerve Big John Fury!

Brutal days back then! Just checked and Andy Bowen got killed in the ring a year later! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Bowen

You got it!

Comerfords.....that's a blast from the past! Anybody know what film star had been a customer at one time?

Run it past Tea Tim! He seems to be calling the shots!

I went for @alfalfa's Beemer!

Why didn't you ban the annoying cunt when you had the Mod gig over there Bob?

Remind me again of the time that you had to sleep in your garage overnight holding a weapon to stop your bikes getting nicked?

All that time on his hands and he still hasn't got a BOTM shot of his bike!

It's Andalucia Day today......so it's a public holiday here. And that seems to include the Excom fibre optic connection as I'm now having to Hotspot it from my Vodafone mobile!

@Six30

Yes he does......but it's not my world, and it's not the type of riding that I do. Also, it's very rare he ever tests something that's of interest to me. One of the very best reviewers was the late Kevin Ash! Whatever he said, you could take it to the bank! We've still had no definitive answers on his death while riding that GS! I don't put it down to rider error.

Bike testing and evaluating bikes for consumer use is a totally different skillset from motorcycle touring. How long has he been doing these tests.....not that long is it? He might have a favourable opinion on a bike now (as it's new)........but 5 years down the road and 50k on the clock is a different matter entirely with these Chinese things. Whereas it isn't with a Jap. Don't you wonder why he's doesn't get invited to the major brand launches..........and is usually resigned to testing things like this supplied by a local dealer? He's welcome to his opinion......same as you're welcome to take it on board. But he's not at the level that the manufacturers consider him relevant enough to pull him in on the big events like this......

Back from Baza Hospital.......fucking grim Weather!
