    What do you call a snake in a crisp packet?... .. Russell...
  2. No you loons! A monkey is £500! A pony is £250, a bullseye is £50...
  3. Well after a visit to tasky today im going to wait it out and get a 1200, unless the dealer drops the price on the 1100. Time to start getting rid of the cars now
  4. As above, display both, having only got your licence you want to avoid as much attention as possible. Plus 3 points per plate on a provisional licence is something you really really don't need.
  5. Well the interview went well, they're very interested in having me in on Saturdays Also the FJ looks good but is showing it's age, gonna leave it to simmer for a while and see if they'll come down a bit more on the price...
  6. Tbh it was my old man that taught me everything I know about engineer, mainly words beginning with F and B

    What do you call a lesbian dinosaur?... A lickalotopus...
  9. Well if this one I'm going to see on Saturday is any good I'm probably going to have it. It's in my nature to flap, I'm part mockingjay
  10. Well tbh, the best bike Ive owned is the XJ600 pre diversion, ugly as sin, cheap to buy, fast enough to be interesting, did 50mpg at a 90mph cruise, cheap to insure and parts could either be made in the home workshop or bought for next to nothing. I want to get back on a daily bike, and the FJ cropped up but I'm still not so convinced that for the price I'm paying it may be the best option, obviously it's a fair bit bigger but is it likely to hold its value with such high mileage? If I was to hold out for a 1200, it would be one of the later models, but they all seem to have 40 or 50 thousand on the clock sometimes more
  11. All I know is its on a B plate, aleading MOT d and they want it gone. As for the job, I'm starting with weekends and days off from my current job until I can bang out for good
  12. Well I'm hopefully going for a job interview this weekend, so if you're about Saturday i'll pop up for a bit if that's okay
  13. Hey peeps. I've got the chance of buying an '84 FJ1200 from a dealership my mate works at, it's got 46000 miles on it, new chain, tapered head bearings, fork seals, new pads and tyres all round and new pistons in the calipers, they're after £1k for it. Ideally I wanted a 1200, but if the 1100 is good for the price I'm not so fussed, I'm getting shot of everything else I have as I may be out of work for a while so it's likely to be my only mode of transport for the next year or so and I need it to be cheap to run/maintain and above all else reliable and simple. Any ex or current owners out there have any advice on what to look for on a bike this age?.
  14. Feel free to post a pic if you do order one though katie...

    Please! Nobody else mention tshirts!
  18. DT50MX at 16, XJ600 when I was 17 (week intensive course), 900 Fireblade when I was 19 Iirc it cost me around £700 to do my full licence as I failed the mod2 the first time, and I had to take it on the centres crappy CG 125
  19. In that situation, not even the velcro strapped anti-self raping cross would contain me, I'd find a way out for sure!
  20. Tbh, the thought of me and Katie in a room together... I could get used to that
