Skippy

I didn’t ‘take’ these today but my oldest mate was digging around in his garage and found these from my 40th birthday party. So, I ‘edited’ them as best I could on the iPhone……..my god, where have the last 23 years gone? Me and my old mucker Pete and my old man and mum, bless her she’s no longer with us but it brought back nice memories of when she was well and not altered by dementia. I’ve just realised that my dad was nearly the same age as I am now. How fucking depressing is that!

My old man rode bikes in the army but apart from him, no one in my family is into bikes. Wankers.

I wish you’d mentioned that before

So now you’re going to be a bugger cunt than before? Just wondering if that’s possible?

Told you golf was a dangerous game……

Oradour is fantastic and I’d thorough recommend it mate. The Menin Gate is on my list as one of my relatives is on the memorial.

What a depressing thought

I’m just wondering if @XTreme asked him to be a moderator on here? Just wondering that’s all.

I think so Bob, in my heart I still hanker after the Hayabusas of this world but I know it would be a complete waste. I look at the big KTMs and think I’d like one but the bottom line is the Tracer is the best option for me and where I live.

Not a problem really, I’ve had loads of sportsbikes so I just adapt my riding accordingly and trust in the tyres! …………thanks for changing my profile details, I did t bother just in case I changed the bike next week.

Obviously the top box is for Pete’s benefit

Yes mate, the old z750 had to go back and I got a full refund as they couldn’t sort the paint issue out on the tank. They had the Tracer in the showroom so I was happy enough.

……….the bloke had barely taken it out of the delivery van and I was off like a shot. It’s lovely to ride; light, agile and plenty fast enough…….even managed to lift the front in second accelerating hard over a small bump in the road (not skill, just luck)

Hard to believe but I’ve not been banned from any other forums because I know how far to go too far apparently.

Good job she made it clear then

The daft twat means Pukka Pies

I refer you to my previous post

That’s because you need to live in an ex-Pat area. Pasties are plentiful here but the best ones are those that my wife makes………ooooohh yeah!

Local installation

Jellied eels please……….

And to prove my point I was wondering about your missus being half English. Has she got any Cockney in her?…………

What about Cockneys? None of them are pleasant.

Funny isn’t it @boboneleg that a bike can be great for one person and not for another. It makes things more interesting that’s for sure!

I agree Bob, this forum has a place and fills a role that Facebook doesn’t so it’s vital that it keeps going. For me, one of its main attractions is the variety of people, opinions and subjects that surface here; some of it is of questionable quality (yeah, sorry about that folks) but generally it’s interesting and mostly it’s fucking funny. I mean, you can’t refer to someone as a cunt on Facebook or in the local library anymore so this forum is like a sanctuary from all the sterile, sound bite laden shite that seems to permeate most of social media. Nevertheless, it does need someone to keep an eye on it to make sure it maintains what we have………..and I’d make a terrible moderator anyway because as a good friend of mine once said to me “Do you know what Skippy, your best attribute is knowing exactly how far to go too far”

Blimey you must be scraping the barrel to pick me
