  1. Apparently it's a 10 year old Cob called Blackberry, that's all I know. I never go near the bloody things, does not stop them sending me photos to worry about though Tis a daughter mother thing
  2. She has been bleddy well been at it again. Oh and for my blood pressure I have to stop fussing as she only fell off twice. Or so she tells me. FFS. And this is the one that wants a bike. Laughed at the boy today, he went to the pictures with his mates and rode home in the rain and dark He comes in ranting “What the actual fuck, how are you supposed to see” I explained to slow down and try and look away when you’re being dazzled. He thought I was a dick for laughing and saying that rain and dark are part of biking and you just have to deal with it.
  3. I was looking at his head in the pictures and thought he had some Staffie in him, but didn't want to say so in case he was some rare breed that I hadn't encountered before. Very handsome dog just the same.
  4. That is a stunning piece, haven't just sat and listened to it for years. I know what I am going to be listening to on my shift tonight
  5. Costa is a lovely looking dog, is he a specific breed or just a happy mix.
  6. Sometimes it's better not to know. I would never stop her but it gives me the yips
  7. When I sat on one it reminded me of my old R65 in terms of size and weight. I think bikes are just mostly physically bigger now as has been said already.
  8. I went through a similar thing with my Son last August. In the end, for us, the best option was to buy a new Sym Orbit 125. Everything we looked at was knackered with at least one thing broken. The Sym isn't fantastic quality but has proved reliable so far and has survived my son coming off twice. To be honest it's ok to ride, would never be my choice but it is functional transport, what it will be like when its 3 years old will be interesting. Twas £2.5k but a decent Honda was £1K more. I think you will be lucky to find a decent second hand twist and go for reasonable money just by the owner profile. Geared bikes are a different matter or so I observed.
  9. R90/6 or S can't really see. Very cool bike either way.
  10. Singing up the Crown Inn Lanlivery tonight, then working from 23:00. Watching the 6 nations and working for the rest of the weekend. Cold and gonna piss down here so I doubt I will be commuting on the bike.

    Plenty I would imagine, it's in the centre of town so I doubt you would go unnoticed.

    It does but it maybe a Rogue Chase or Shoei Glamster, I like the Bell Bullit personally.

    The whole thing is the brainchild of our local Church Warden and a Parochichial Councillor who is the a Consultant at the only A&E in Cornwall, a local County Councillor, choirmaster, you name it he does it, anything for self promotion. Also has political ambitions to be an MP and is a grade A arsewipe. We had a brilliant Vicar until he was driven out several years ago, now the church is empty and run by Gargoyles. I not that religious but do recognise that our church was the centre of the community, not so now. It's all very sad really.

    Imagine having this in the early 70's, coolest kid ever. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134480597300?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220705100511%26meid%3D801706bdf84c4c54a03b6cfabd4fdb10%26pid%3D101524%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D134480597300%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trkparms=pageci:9d30fb51-be1f-11ed-acf1-ae6a84875495|parentrq:c422a7381860a0d2d1dd49ecfffffcb8|iid:1&_trksid=p2380057.c101524.m146925&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5337705843&toolid=20008&mkevt=1&ul_ref=https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1&fbclid=IwAR3F8W8mZ0b8Yy7BFJkS__gdZNizRYFH6KrZLxYGfivfgk2sCuLCo1pC-YI

    Fowey hits the national media. https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/08/church-marks-international-womens-day-by-voting-against-female-vicar-18406173/?fbclid=IwAR3juuDD_XxT5Yaw945Y--Mf-SR4EyxGoelZII7zUmrK2q9hVzhnJNZ45WY
  18. To be honest when we were all on 250's the MZ was mostly a match for the 4 stroke jap stuff, XS250, GSX250 and Honda G5/Dream/Super Dream. Not close to jap two strokes though. I also had a mate with a C15, when he was mostly fixing rather than riding. Sounded good when it was going but that wasn't often.
  19. I had a mate who had a Supa 5 with a Polaris fairing on it, I always thought is was as cool as. Several of my mates had Simpsons, when I was a sixteener you either got an R reg Moped (Fizzie or AP50) or new Simpson. It was amazing how much abuse those Simpsons took. MZ's are in the group of odd old shit that I like.
  20. Oh I do like an ETZ, I would love an old MZ 250 Supa 5. Ring ting ting tough.
  21. That was the thrust of what I was saying is if and when my E46 is no more I will try and find something older and simpler, I don't enjoy the way new cars are going in terms of owning one. Great to drive but way to complicated and expensive to fix, the modern Skodas I drive at work are great cars to drive but I wouldn't own one. The breakdowns we have had over their 5 years with us have been numerous and expensive, we have even had one of the 10 burn to the ground. We have got Kodiaqs coming in May, that's going to be interesting in service. Again lovely cars to drive but how they will cope with our service will be interesting which DCT's, button handbrakes and touch screen everything.
