Absolutely! Bazz...don't come crying to me when you wake up and find a Mullet on your head, and start battling with urges to watch NASCAR, while listening to "Achy Breaky Heart" on the Hi-Fi!! 8)

Bloody Gogs got to fuck everything up!

Actually I did go out a few times last Winter on the old Divvy 6 that I had as a rat bike. As you say Alan...deserted roads, and Rhayader was like a ghost town compared to the Summer chaos.

Yes you're so right Darren. Obviously 70's rain was so different from 21st Century rain in terms of wetness. :roll: In fact, me and Ren went riding last Xmas with the roads full of snow and ice. Ask him whether he thinks I can hack it in treacherous conditions. Cos like swimming, riding a bicycle, and sticking your face in a fan....you never forget! 8)

That 400 miles you've done must have been a steep learning curve then. :roll:

I did it everyday from 71-79 and learnt all I need to know. It wasn't fun then...and it won't be fun now. And that's why I keep a piece of shit £400 car in the drive for.

I'm ready for Winter.....I've fuelled the car up!

Here's a good one! I delivered the XT yesterday to the dealer in Haverfordwest (90 miles away) so I'm now bikeless till 1st September. Anyway, ran into an old mate of mine there and he was telling me that he'd taken a new Triumph on a demo run. He got about 20 miles into the countryside (where mobiles don't work) and the bike broke down! So he had to leave it at the side of the road and hitchhike back to the dealers...took him most of the day to get back! He's decided to stick with his Transalp!

And as you know, if you bought a HD you'd be expected to go round offering blowjobs!

Get a HD Tym....Hack will love you for it!

It's a MidLife Crisis I tell you! :oops:

Can you get it over there Scott?

I rode 90 miles today to drop off the XT at the dealer. Checked the back end when I got there....and NO fling whatsoever! :shock: I'm gobsmacked. This is the product I've been waiting all my life for! 8)

Still have your uniform NT? :oops:

Stop taking the pus Baz! 8)

This isn't the time or the place to start homosexual advances Baz!

With your lack of sexual partners you're way ahead of me!

I used to use Clairol semi permanent....but can't be bothered now. Still, I can sort out my hair quicker than you can sort out your zits. Do you get many blind people trying to read your face?

That's a radical angle on the clocks Karban! :shock: And you wanna get some Hammerite on those downpipes mate! 8)

How do you feel about Plastic Jocks Alan? 8)

If you weren't such a dull English fuckwit you'd know that we spell Cardiff as Carediff cos that's how they say it there! Haven't you got any pimples to burst insteading of pretending to be Welsh? 8)

Can I interest "sir" in some Silkolene for the weekend?

Looking at that one and the faired alongside each other, there's quite a difference. The Limited doesn't have the frame painted the same colour as the bike like the others. Cos I reckon that looks a bit naff, like a cheap streetfighter job. Black gloss frames rule in Oldschool. Plus, it's got the tasteful logo rather than "Suzuki" splattered all over it. Which is a definite benefit. And I reckon the GSX-R colour scheme with the white tailpiece looks pretty good, compared to the bland one colour for EVERYTHING on the standard. Also the Limited is more expensive than the standard, while not costing me any more. So it will have a higher resale value as well as standing out from the rest. The wife also reckoned that the GSX-R fairing on the S model made it look too much like a sportsbike from the front. That's not good! Oldschool Rules OK! 8)

1st September on a 54 Plate! 8)
