XTreme

No......never experienced that trauma! What about you @Tym?

Siracs I had on TT-R250 and XT350.

Yes....must be one of the first Jap imports here in the early 80's. Franco wouldn't let them in when he had power.

No weird looking Kawasaki for you then Tym?

Who can forget the human skull on the desk?

For something like that I would use Michelin Siracs given my type of usage.

Went in there to make sure they had an oil filter to do an oil and filter change for me when I've done another 800kms. At the rate I've been going due to the restrictions that could be well into the Summer. Usual selection of old Spanish and Italian stuff in there......not a spot of rust on them!

I think those odds may be a bit optimistic Clive!

Those running Deathwings are the prime contenders for sure.

It's not the end of the world is it Clive? Life goes on.....nobody died, and in a hundred years time nobody's going to give a shit anyway.

You have a good nights sleep young lady.......you've had a busy day dealing with these humanoids!

I've always said I only have two skillsets.....IT and riding bikes. That's it......there's nothing else.....I am a completely useless man!

Now you've got my attention!

Oh yeh......finally hoping to have a decent run Sunday.

Exactly! I've never hidden the fact that I'm a namby-pamby poser who doesn't know one end of a spanner from another.

Tourance are Metzelers.......but I think Pirelli own them now.

Nail on head! But one thing I will point out is that all these guys have ridden all their lives.......and we're all in our fifties and sixties. Consequently there's a lot of experience here......and nobody feels the need to have to prove anything. So we're just who we are.....and everybody is exactly the same in real life. Most of us go back 20 years with each other......so it's a bit late in the day for any of us to pretend we're anything different.

Radar? WTF is that all about?

Oh yeh.....they did it on a 45bhp XT600 and a 50bhp Transalp. Not exactly hot stuff motorcycling but they still felt very iffy to me.

Only a pathetic little bitch would take it wouldn't they Clive?

I remember taking them to the PO in Landrindod Wells back in 2004 to get them sent to you. The women behind the counter took one look.......screamed "Deathwings" and ran like fuck!

As you know, I've moved on! And all the better for it TBH. I'm sure they'll find somebody else to do Ride Reports for them.......however, replacing my personality and charisma is going to be a lot, lot harder. But I'm rooting for them nevertheless!

What?
