I described my first tat (done by a scratcher in his kitchen whilst his wife made rolls and sliced sausage) as being like a guy plunging a hot knife in my arm and carving a shape in it. Vowed never to do it again, but a month later I was sat there again enjoying the same pain and another roll on slice (but only because I felt unbalanced with just one arm done)

Maybe it's an age thing, or a job thing, but if I get cut up, or have a near miss or whatever, I put it behind me and concentrate on whats in front. So much easier / safer to focus on whats happening rather than dwell on what happened

Yea, you can see your face in them

The great thing about encouraging others to tear off wingmirrors is that you don't get the Police Caution and/or day in court when the guy shows his dashcam to the Cops. No Court in the land will admonish you for mal/misc (scotland) or crim damage just because you felt threatened, rather they would encourage you to have reported the other person. Whilst in Law you have a statutory right to self defence, kicking someones mirror off at the end of an argument will not form part of that right. Anyway what if it was Ronnie Fucking Pickerings mirror....you're in big trouble there

Hit it on the head there Tommy....Cabin Fever. Once the winter woolies (me included btw) get our bikes back on the road it should be better....And the upgrades? In my experience most folk moan about anything changing. We always hark back to how things were better....fek me I still go on about my auld 59 Speed Twin as a great bike when in reality, well.........

Who wrote that?

I feel the need...The need to keep my eyes peeled for speed cameras Four fried chicken and a coke...no wait, better make that a sparkling mineral water This is the winter of our discontent, cos we never kept up the flood defences so we're all flooded out

Let us know of any response please bud

I totally agree it's a great Yam colour scheme, but I don't think it's right for the TR1. I always saw the racing block as exactly that, and the big XS' and TR1s as either black or silver.......but hey I know fek all....I'm totally enjoying your rebuild story. I've owned a xs1100 but never a TR1, Keep up the good work

Seriously, anyone (drewps?) heard from him, All OK I hope

Must have been before my time Bud, but looked up that name and it would appear they are still a member, nay a moderator, no less (so you'll be in trouble)

I got a photo of him teleporting somewhere warm for t'winter

I concur

I hope you have a long and happy retirement Bud, you've earned it

Great it still fitted you. Fek all fits me since I stopped playing rugby a couple of years ago

Obviously someone else must have been buying....The East Coast mantra 'you'll have had yer tea' springs to mind

Favourite Christmas movie quote " I'm an eating, drinking, shitting, fucking Santa Claus "

Yea but you don't count....He specifically mentioned " this horrible English weather! " so what he probably means is a slight drizzle and 15 degrees....bloody horrible ; )

Are bike warranties different from cars. As long as you use genuine Yamaha parts you should be fine, no?

Good point, well made Clarke. Unfortunately todays' world survives on paper/audit trails, so embrace it and do as clarke suggests
