If Joshua doesn't win convincingly I can see him being done as a serious contender, probably knock out or TKO. Yes Ngannou is a big fit fighter but he is green as a boxer which is what this sport is supposed to be. I reckon Zhang vs Parker could be a good fight. Probably Zhang to win on points.

Just been out for a bimble to St Austell, nearest place I could get a driving licence application for for my Eldest Daughter, plus had to pick up the dogs meds and get mothers day cards for the kids to give my Mrs. You never believe they were 20, 18 and 16. Fuck me that town is a shit hole. Haven't put the bike away yet so may pop out again before I get out of my thermals. Tis cold but dry here today. Rest of the weekend looks shite. Filled the Hornet up with Tesco Momentum, I think I may be buying into the hype but it does seem to make a difference, or I may just be going mental. Thinking while I was out, do bikes really need quick shifters? Never a thing back in the day but everybody seems to be all for them now, I just don't see the need. Track days and stuff I could understand it maybe but on the street, really. I can see the farkle factor in the my bikes better than yours stakes but FFS. Oh and I have decided to get rid of that Viper Helmet I got, noisey POS. I may give it to my Boy it has got to be better than the chinky lid he has.

He should have but at least he had a puncher's chance and it was a real contest, not some scripted show. I had a lot of time for Big Frank, very likeable character. Just wish he was a better boxer.

It won't be a figh,t more a choreographed dance. Bloody hell if Tyson really let a combination go Paul would be spark out even give Mikes age. It will be legally tied up tight to be a farce like all the Pauls fights.

Me too, if it weren't for bad luck I would have none at all.

Yeah I thought the same but like you I know someone who won a Merc Pickup thing, plus @ £2.99 a ticket I thought it was worth a punt for the sort of bike I like but would probably never pony up to buy.

I was being kind, you haven't met him . He is one of those guys that's in the group but nobody really knows why. Apart from the fact that we have all lived in the same town forever and went to school together. I have entered one of those bike lotteries for a R60/5 with the toaster tank. Very nice, under no illusions about winning but it's nice to dream.

Don't think so, I think the LC8 only applies to a twin, buy I am no authority on KTM

Specifically for Mr Can't see for the Vibes, not so hot when you are riding with a group mostly made up with modern bikes, he always has to lead so not to be left or struggle to match the pace. We are all older so don't push that much so not a massive problem but while we are bimbling along at a comfy speed he is wringing his bike to stay with us and consequently not in his bikes comfort zone or his. Plus he is an adinoidal droning fwit so none of us cares that much about him. His only talk is Land Rovers, shot guns and Bonnies and he knows everything about everything else, superior tedious fucker. I could tell many tales but it would be unkind. Now another guy in our group has a stunning 1974 Norton Commando that he has owned for 40 years, nobody minds accommodating him as he is just a decent guy who loves his Norton. I do fantasise about a R80/R90/R100 of some form the 1970's which would probably be close to modern reliability if regularly and well looked after. Don't know if I would ride with my current group with it though. I would love to do what you suggest, sounds like a brilliant adventure.

If they sold that in the UK I would buy one. I really like it.

One of my riding mates has an immaculate 1973 Bonnie, it is genuinely beautiful but he has a problem with the reality of the thing. He will on one breath tell me that anything over 70 mph and he can't see through the vibs then on the next breath tell me how much better his 50 year bike is than mine. I love the old machines the look, style and sound of them but actually wanting one for every day use you genuinely would have to be some sort of masochist.

I just got one of these from one of the Chinese emporiums. Works surprisingly well and packs down pretty small. Gets the back wheel of the floor.
-
Oh fuck that . I don't like heights at the best of times.
-
Yep it is true. Not going any more political than that, angry can of worms I'm not going to open here.

That's the way I look at it, went out on Sunday in the Sunshine and got rained oni all good. Now if it was pissing down I am not sure I would have got out the door. Not for a joy ride anyway.
-
I would love a R90S but don't think I would want to live with it day to day. Thing of beauty to me, but still an old bike with bendy cow handling and wait and see brakes.

Opps, the E23 was the 7 series of the time

Mixed cold and showery this morning. Went to the meet before the off and there was a grand total of 2 of us, me on the Hornet and Martin on his Guzzi V85 the rest of them had very good reasons for not coming, I think the main one was they are puddle dodgers and couldn’t possibly get their bikes dirty I had thermaled up with several layers so all was good apart from not wearing winter gloves, but even so heated grips saved day grips saved the day Sone great views from Kitt Hill big skies from being high up On a side note my daughter was shocked to hear I was going to Kitt Hill today, turns out that where all the kids from her college go to shag on a Saturday night. Who knew Nice new small Triumph Some lovely old bikes there and refreshing to see them ridden despite patchy weather. Not my Hornet. Quite like the tail tidy though My favourite bike of the day. R90s. Just beautiful. After leaving there we went back to Liskeard and the Checkered Flag Cafe and bike shop. Great cafe but there was some sort of bike club meet there. All patched up called Widows Sons or something similar. Bit sad to my eye but live and let live I suppose, they were friendly enough even they were a bit old to be a bike gang. Oh and after the inevitable clean up.
-
Kitt Hill bike meet tomorrow, heading off at 9:00 am with the Fowey Chilblain chapter. Looking at the forecast thermals will be the order of the day

Hes reached a new low with this vid. And he didn't even know an E23

Hailing, raining, cold and wet. Did fuck all, played Minecraft with my youngest and watched Youtube.
