Sir Fallsalot

I thought the skyline was the R32 in the 90's that's what i was looking to buy but went down the 4x4 route instead

That's because you are sophisticated its a commoners drink https://elitedrinks.com/products/desperados-24-x-330ml?variant=37628232302754&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItZTUwqnW7gIVwp7tCh1mSAfUEAQYASABEgJMG_D_BwE

Sorry i was talking about the GTR skyline thought you made a spelling error with GTIR

Me to except i'm not quite as sophisticated as you, i'm drinking the desperados the wife hid from me last weekend

Are you on the wine Pedro its not being a brit twat its a bit of light hearted humour and i know Bruce personally and know he will take it as that

Yes i really like them and it was hard for me to walk away from, when i was looking there was a company that would import one and tune it to what you wanted anything up to a 1000hp, give me one of those over a BMW or Merc any day

I was looking at those but i bought the range rover instead as i needed to keep my licence

I bought mine to use off road and ended up having it gas converted so i was running it for the cost of something doing 24mpg here she is

I had a 1987 range rover, it is the only car i had that i could actually see the fuel needle moving when i had it shifting on a motorway

when i used to meet my mates on my YZ they were all on XL and XT's i remember them taking the fuel cap off to look in the tank and saying there's enough for today. i would have 2 gallons in the tank a gallon in a rucksack on my back and i'd still have to stop for fuel on the way back

The old two strokes i always found more fun when they started fitting power valves to smooth the power out it sort of spoilt it for me but they are still fun. The last 2 stroke road bike i had a go on was a suzuki RGV250 i found the only way i could ride it was flat out incredible machine on the twisty roads around here

Yes it was good fun but i never raced it just used it for trail riding, it was road registered. Used to consume rear tyres chains and sprockets and fuel at an alarming rate

Shhh don't go there you'll start Bruce off

Worst bike i had for fuel was that old YZ490 i could get it down to 9 mpg when i was having fun

And that was just a 3 cylinder outboard motor don't ask Bruce how much his cruiser does to the gallon its likely to send him into a depression

The thing my mate had used almost 5 gallons of petrol to do about 16 mile on the way out and then we had to wait for the tide to turn to come back in because we would have run out of fuel going against the tide long before where we set off.

@Bruce Yes i know how speed is totally different on water compared to land. When my dull mate first had a boat i took it out off Penarth towards the Severn bridge there was a little swell there and when i wound it up it felt like i was doing 120 and smashing into the waves i thought it was going to break apart, then there was the debris to avoid floating in the water it was exciting stuff but we were only doing 35 knots

I read that different

What kind of speed will it get up to Bruce

have you drank all that cider

Stop wasting your time teasing Bruce and get on with the new bike report

you tell him @boboneleg Well i picked up what i wanted from our workshop, went up the Merthyr valley and home the Cynon valley and i could have stayed out all day it was 3.5°c but felt a lot warmer a couple of photos for proof

I've got to go to our workshop to pick up some documents for work on Monday, Its cold and wet not very nice out there, now do i take the van or brave the weather and take the opportunity to ride with a legitimate reason What a stupid fucking question see you all later

This reminded me of this, many years ago i was involved with the installation of a small wind turbine to help power some remote containers to transmit telemetry from the elan valley to the control hub 45 miles south as the crow fly's, it was supposed to be a state of the art wind turbine. I was called back up there a few months later as they were having problems with a diesel generator, when i asked how the wind turbine was doing they said it failed in the first two weeks as the propeller blades blew off, they found one of them about half a mile away

Shania is much more of a woman all the bits in the right places for me, you can keep the drummer
