This is not a Photoshop......it's real!

I'm off in an hour to meet up with a new client at Venta del Peral services. Wouldn't have been out today on the bike anyway......there was heavy rain overnight and the roads are soaking!

Yeh.....all the time Bob! You can remove them in open spaces with nobody near you, but invariably people are wearing them.

Is that your mate that was on the moped before?

Well ask @Clive if he'll take you on holiday with him then!

Shit......how much they paying labourers now then?

Lokking pretty good here now......big difference compared to this time last year!

Haven't seem much of Clive today......must be tripping out to stuff like this!

You've won it a few times......and I reckon the upside down running-in pic could be a winner!

But will you have enough fuel to get there and back if there's more shortages there?

Never mind your fucking trolling......BOTM submissions start on Sunday and end Tuesday night! So sort your shit out you neanderthal!

What's the model, year, mileage etc?

Yeh......get on it! Cos unless you get that van fuelled there'll be no motorcycling for you!

What cc is that?

Henry was a gentleman!

Any bike news?

I knew a guy who was a boxing trainer in London and he met Benn and Eubank a number of times during that era. He said that Benn wasn't pleasant to be around at all........very edgy and likely to go off it at the slightest thing. While Eubank was the perfect gentleman and always took time to talk to him and his wife.

I went past my front door and saw no queues or shortages either! What about you @Skippy @Pedro?

The answer to why "Black Sheep of the Family" resulted in Rainbow forming was that Blackmore has always loved that song. He wanted Purple to record it around the time they were recording "Stormbringer". The other members said "no" so Blackmore (who's always got to have his own way) left Purple to form Rainbow! And the version of it that you heard above with Dio was the first thing they recorded. And he recorded it again in 2019 with Ronnie Romero on vocals.....and it was more in keeping with the original.

Yeh.....I preferred the Argent version too!

Russ Ballard wrote that and "I surrender".

This is the Dio version.....

Yeh it will......because he's got a habit of gassing. Question is how much power will he have lost? If it gets to the second half AJ is really going to have problems dealing with Usyk. I still say Usyk KO around the 9th or 10th.

If he'd lived the life instead of partying and hanging round with crooks while drinking, smoking, and doing drugs he'd have achieved a lot more. See the final face off? Not much difference in weight now......AJ looking a lot smaller and less muscled for this one.
