Skippy

Oh fuck sorry mate, I’ve pressed the wrong button! Can’t delete it so you’ll have to come up with a good explanation. Just say I’m a cockney slag or something, cheers El Skippo

Pete, I’ve had to send this as a private message so as not to enrage the other forum members but I can’t keep extolling your virtues and frankly, biging-you-up for no recompense. I think the time has come to make the first of the agreed payments otherwise I’m going to have to tell them the truth the next time they question your virility or stature. Anyway, the ball is in your court. I hope you have a good time tonight with you Spanish lady friend, cheers Skippy

My legs right now, having carried me across eighteen holes of golf and supported me at the bar through several pints of Spanish lager. Gotta love Saturdays.

See, that’s where you’ve underestimated the Ginger One. He is, in fact, a behemoth of a man; light on his toes but that’s another matter.

Im taking that as a compliment. I still don’t understand but hey, who’s counting?

6’ 1” ………….at least

If I understood your comment I’d be offended. I think.

He got around a bit. Seems to run in the family He died in a New York hotel after collapsing in the bathroom. I think it was because all his blood flowed to his huge knob. That also ru a in the family

A healthy 5’ 11”

Actually, one of my distant relatives on my mum‘s side was in fact, the tallest man in the world at one time. His name was George Auger and he was 8‘3“ tall and served as a copper for a period of time in Cardiff. Google it and learn something.

No, it’s a dagger to stab people who fuck me off.

Good job I took one of a working bike before Pete jinxed it.

Anti clockwise you say…….that’s to the left for you @XTreme. Loosely lefty, righty tighty

I’m very tall in my stilettos

It feels like a curse

Yes that’s cheered me up.

Well fuck me, they say bad things happen in three’s and having busted my jacket zip and then had the FI light come on I was waiting for the third thing and this morning it arrived. The fucking tank on the z750 has bubbled up where the repair was carried out. I blame @XTreme and his love of misery and desolation. FER FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!!!

That’s true that is.

Just be careful if you fit a top box as the standard racks are notoriously weak and will snap if you put too much weight on it. There are a few strengthening kits available but I’d get in touch with CoooerB Motorcycles based near Northampton as they are Enfield specialists and can provide a really good kit. I had one on my Himalayan and it worked out well. If you do speak to them ask for Ian and say Skippy says hello………..and start sharing your biscuits

Which just goes to prove that if you want proper danger you have to come to the capital

Just did a quick Google search for official RE dealers and there are two either side of you @Slowlycatchymonkey. One is towards Malaga and the other closer to Almeria but it might be worth giving them a call and asking if anyone speaks English. Surely they should be able to help?

They’re afraid to try it because they know they like it.

I’d fancy another trip over as long as I stay out of Huescar town limits. My bike doesn’t like it.

I’ve had two over the years but the first one I bought was when I took my first TL1000S into my mate’s shop for a service and he always let me take a bike out for a few hours. Now, I’d had a real assortment of bikes as a loan bike from him over the years but taking that Busa out was off the scale. I spent the first hour trying to calibrate my brain to the acceleratorion, the second hour muttering to myself “why on earth would anyone need this kind of power?” and the third and final hour telling myself that in no account was I going to buy one. I’d been back in the shop for a minute before I ordered one. They are that kind of bike.
