  2. now if you think thats funny you will enjoy this. having saved up for months to go to germany and europe for a month my step father who is 84 went missing and did not know where he was,found after 24hrs they took him in to hospital discharged him the next day and told us they thought he might be starting with altziemers,he was to go back yesterday for a memory test he was annoyed and said there was nothing wrong with him.this morning my sister rang he had forgot to go.shit and he wont stop driving the good thing is he cant remember where he left his car.

  5. i know what you mean i could not believe how clean it was no litter in the streets having come from manchester where fag ends and litter everwhere was commonplace it seemed unreal.i remember going through where you live up to soltau.whats the score with the naffi last year i was told i had to apply for a card to shop there that my discharge book was not enough.
  6. been out 19yrs after full service so miss things like the naffi and the life in general,still in contact with a few of the lads who i seved with and who married german girls should have been going over on weds but due to family problems had to cancel. maybe get over in september.

  16. taking in to account its been stood four years you will probably have to factor in costs of a bew battery,tyres? mot etc but that taken into account here is what it books at IF its an 03. dealer price.£1525 private good.£1300 private poor £945 so at £850 is it worth it? depends what you want to do with it.for me no i would be looking at£700 good luck.

  19. what?one of mervins rabid ferrets no i will leave that old west country custom to them, but if i saw a tzr250 for the right money might consider it.
  20. well i was up early this morning heading to rivington barn for a vintage motor cycle club meet and run,plenty of old nortons,triumphs bsa two vincents matchless and other old bikes but my day was made before i even got there,coming over the top of the moors touching 80 on some of the bends i heard this noise behind me the unmistakeable sound of a 2 stroke at the next bend it overtook me the scruffiest filthy thing i have seen for a long time on the straight i left it but every bend it would come screaming past wtf was that i thought.just past the next bend was tea van and he pulled in so did i curious to know what it was.it was a yamaha tzr250 not been into 2 strokes before but the smell and the sound was some thing else.at this point i suddenly relised i was about 10mile past the turn for rivington but it was fun.
  21. i noticed its a 2003 r6,but is it a 2003 model or was it just registered in 2003 as r6 models prior to 2003 were carbs, fuel injection came in 03,if it was running ok before it sat over winter with fuel in it, the injectors just like the pilot jets could be partially blocked.

  23. the no trouser option sounds intresting but rather chilly !
  24. brilliant invention i would not be without my flip down internal sun visor.prior to that it was a pain on days when the sun was in and out and having to carry a clear visor in case i was late back.
