Just remember what they say Drewps...................................Absinth makes the heart grow fonder.

Boy, are you in trouble now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi and welcome Steve. Don't worry about the stupid questions. We have loads of stupid answers (and some helpfull ones).

Nev. Should we go to therapy together and share a cell room?

He will be in trouble ven 'is son gets in but I guess it bucks the trend and chasing your dog is better than being on the Doe. Taxi for Dirty!!!!

I do like both the XT and TT 500's. They are on my list.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Cheers mate. I have started to dress like Clive Dunn now . I saw her for the first time today, she is lovely. Luckily she doesn't have my looks!!!

Wouldn't the XT have a 1E6 frame number? 583 says TT to me

Ahhhhh Brentford Nylons, fibreglass curtains, asbestos insulation and lead paint..................... they didn't do me any harm. I think??

I think I am. Very nice bikes and that one looks like one of the earliest.

1976 TT500C maybe? Probably American or Canadian.

Read below and learn mate. I havent really still got any. For those who cant remember them they were basically plastic woven garments, including underwear. Because they were plastic they never adsorbed anything so everything washed out. They did seem to go a dirty grey colour very quickly and made you sweat, especially the skiddies. I think fabric softener has the same basic ingredients as hair conditioner and they are interchangeable. I brought a 2 pack of Nickwax recently. The wash and the waterproofer. Highly recommended form me.

Thanks everyone.

Oh hello.

I still have my Bri-nylon shirts. Anyone remember them?

I spoke to these people a while ago LINKY. I think that the outsource the building and were keen to make sure all the measurements were taken and information on how the rims were laced was gathered before they were taken apart. In other words, don't turn up with 2 hubs. I seem to remember they are a little cheaper than anywhere else, and they are closer to me than anyone else I don't know what the quality is like, does anyone know(?) as it is pretty scary to throw £500 into something that is key for safety.

Everything is fine thanks 2wheels. No.........................just poorer! OG says I should buy your minibike for her. Maybe in a few years and I had better ask her parents.

I do! This is something I will need to do and I am confident I can do it. I can take my wheels to CWC (Central wheels) but then I would have to get them to blast and paint the hubs which would add another £100 plus.

Cheers Kev. I am always skint anyway so nothing new there.

Great stuff to get a few miles under your belt before the weather draws in. Even better that you are not asking how to get road rash out of your knees!! That's 2wheels and Blackhats round trip to the YOC weekend.

Thank you all. I haven't seen her yet, I am going to drive down to Essex on Tuesday but all seems good. Being a baby girl was a shock. They don't tend to run in my family blood line. Only 4 girls from my mum to little Freya and there are 12 boys. I have done the bike v Sons thing but they got into cars. A bit selfish of me but I love bikes and did rather hope that they didn't get "the bug" so I could feel they were safer, all the time I continued to ride and knew just how much of a buzz you can get. They have both been pillion on my bikes when they were younger and loved it. The youngest has done his CBT and I think that was the first and last day he has even actually ridden a bike. They have both been driving for 8 to 10 years so maybe the bike thing passed them by. Funny really as I had a full car licence at 17 and then went out and brought a bike a couple of weeks after passing my car test. Typical me, always do things ar5e about face.

I became a Granddad for the first time yesterday morning. Does this mean I have to give up riding bikes.......................... ...........................or do I start saving for her first 2 stroke?? Born to my eldest son and wife, a baby girl called Freya.

Hi and welcome to the forum Kernow.

Very good bikes the SV's.
