XTreme

Yeh.....I thought the same!

It amazes me that Yamaha and Suzuki haven't offered anything in that category for years.

I had this twenty odd years ago.....lovely bike but not right for me!

Years riding.....not age! Though it could possibly be his IQ as well?

I'll be on one eventually!

They still exist? I remember going in the bogs in the West End in Llandovery and they were all there trying to piss without pulling their suits down to their ankles!

Does anybody still buy sportsbikes?

Tyres are not Dave's specialist subject!

Get a set off eBay!

If you're not aware of the history of the bike then I'd put it in the hands of a trusted mechanic.

So would you accept a bollocking from a casual Keith?

You don't know how long they've been in there so get them changed!

It wasn't a conscious thing......just circumstances really. My father died when I was 4 (due to the conditions he experienced in WWII) and my mother was a schizophrenic. I had no siblings or other family to turn to, so I had to learn to get by on my own. That's basically it. I do think I was very influenced by The Prisoner though, which I first saw when I was 12. Specifically the concept of being unwilling to comply with authority, or be manipulated and used by people!

Best band ever!

What you say Clive?

It's a T500......called a Titan in the US!

A casual who's been riding two minutes chastising me? Not going to happen! 50 years on bikes for me next month. There are levels in our world! Of course.....you being submissive to him suggests to me that you feel that he's your superior? And that's fine......I don't judge you for that! What you say @Swagman?

I'm not good with authority! Always been a Loose Cannon that goes by his own rules......that's the reason I never made it in the corporate world.

It's just interesting to see how many of these Junior School chastisements he's willing to accept! In my case it's zero!

Six when he sees Blender!

@Six30.......you bought a sticker yet? You better had or you'll get Blunder on your case again. I wouldn't like to see you get yet another bitchslapping!

I was working in the stores in Neath Hospital......and the field around one of the buildings caught fire. The Fire Brigade couldn't come as they were dealing with other outbreaks, so a load of us were in the field trying to stop the blaze. That was really fucking hot.....I can remember the soles of my trainers melted! But we stopped it.....more by luck than judgement I think.

It's gone up here....about €1.25 a litre now.

"Do any of you have the problem of your hand going numb?"

I'm super flexible......it's just that my knees don't cope with too much weight!
