  1. Yeh.....it does look a bit brutal!
  2. More WWE antics in the boxing world @Six30 And Jake Paul's idiot brother is going to fight Mike Tyson next!
  3. Are people actually buying them?
  4. What's the problem with that engine Bob?
  5. And the GS was on the deck a year or two ago wasn't it Alan? I can remember a photo!
  6. Dan Walsh made a career out of doing that shit!
  7. What you say Bruce?
  8. I put the handlebar of my DT400 right through the bedroom window in 1977.......we were living with the first wife in a grotty one bed ground floor flat then. She wasn't happy.......but then, she never was happy. Maybe that's why she threw all my clothes and possessions up the driveway 5 years later. Some females never take being given the red card in a sporting manner.
  9. All mine were 71-73 except for the big one in Feb 1978 when I got thrown off a GT750 at 110 with a tank slapper. Got up and walked away from that as well.......all I've ever had is a few scrapes! My Guardian Angel has looked after me!
  10. I got too many to individually recount from the years 71-73......around 20+ unscheduled dismounts. I hit Slaughter House gates, garage doors, backs of cars, sides of cars, even went under cars. Went through Indian restaurant windows and landed on tables, hit traffic light poles, trees, barriers, and of course there multiple wheelies that went wrong! I came off the back, off the side, and even over the bars. I wanted to cover all the bases. I was truly the Dave Croxford of street riding! Crox raced from 1962 to 1976, crashing no less than 223 times, without breaking a single bone, at a time when Armco was everywhere and body armour was something you found in the Tower of London. No wonder fans called him Rubber Bones. Many of Croxford’s tumbles were comedy events, in retrospect, at least. “I crashed at Brands while battling with Bazza (Sheene)… I was sliding along on my arse waving at him, and he was waving back.” Or his only TT crash, “This bloody great big pig comes out and it’s running alongside me…”. Such were the stresses of racing that Crockers sometimes prepared himself for action with a swift one or two in the paddock bar. “You’d have a couple of pints of Guinness and go out. You could do that in them days, it was real good fun!”
  11. Things could have been different if you'd been on part worn DeathWings!
  12. I know......but I prefer the feel of the 19" on the road! Strange I know, but 19" suits me better!
  13. XTreme

    Mums 90 today!

    Happy Birthday to your Mum Tym!
  14. A mate of mine did that in the early 70's with a Lambretta!
  15. Hi Darren! @Renegade.......this is someone you know!
  16. Mercedes Sprinter perhaps?
  17. You'll lose the offroad capability though Bob?
  18. As a serial bike changer it's difficult for me to stick with one bike for any length of time.....you may have noticed? Problem is that I'm limited to what I can buy now due to my age......a heavy machine just wouldn't be a realistic choice. Plus, they don't make bikes that appeal to me like they used to......they're all this Judge Dredd weird styling now! So......where do I go from here if I decide to sell the Beemer? Remember that It must be light and have a minimum of 19" front wheel. In my case I see only two options in my future......CB500X or CRF300L. But neither of those really grab me as such......it's more a case of trying to make the best of it. So what's in your future?
