Noise Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Had a nice ride into work this morning, nice and crisp with only a few villeges stuck in fog but was very nice to hit a warm thermal or two. I just really need to get a bit more confident in corners, nt after speed just don't want to be dreading seeing water mid corner and think that im coming off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So far due to work and the wife letting me out to pay i've managed to clock up a good 185 miles on Betty so far no where near good enough. I managed to get out on her yesterday to meet up with a good mate of mine who has an old Kwak 750 chopper which we managed to have a little ride out on till he had to bugger off to do some more CBT's Next time im out i'll try and grab some piccies, off down the Weymouth bike night in July if anyone else fancies a meet?

AndrewElvisFan Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I reckon if I spend a couple of hours sorting out a fallen plum tree in the garden, then cut the lawn and offer the wife a massage I'll be allowed out to play under this sky today!!!

Noise Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well as we all knew Saturday night a bunch of poofs where running about after a football claiming to be worth millions of pounds and needing magic water to fix a broken leg with the end result being one poxy goal (insert sarcastic clap) So me and the boys got the bikes out and buggered off out to find the only pub that didn't have it on TV, roads where dead and it was bliss! couple of drag races to which my mate Doc won as he has a Stock Triumph speed master with me a close but loud second. Here are the bikes, Kawasaki 750 kicker with ridgid frame, not bad for 35 years old Betty and the speed master Betty And the local Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
