Tommy xs

Any pics yet bipp

Hi Ryan welcome to YOC

Hi bipp, nice to see you back at it so to speak, I would have loved to go for a bimble tomorrow but I've been really lazy and still not got round to cleaning my carbs, its on the list for tomorrow if the weather is dry. Anyway enjoy your self, that bike looks heavy don't go laying it down.

Hate the M-ways at the best of times would stay off if pos when its windy, was the bridge closed Jim ?wouldn't fancy going over there in the wind.

What on earth is going on

Very nice bike and the wheels will show the dirt up well, always look on the bright side John, don't think I could wait 8 weeks though but at least you'll get it in time for Summer

Your forgiven Sacha, I would never have guessed

Had a little chuckle at that slice and when the Mrs asked what I was laughing at I bottled it and said "nothing luv",a narrow escape I could have been in the dog house for a week

Drewpy in Dream land I was there too one of the oldest Nortons ever 1902 and my fav whoops that sould have been and one of the boys from left to right Wobbly Bob aka Steve, Mystic Dave, Drewpy as most on here know, Captain Pugwash aka Kev

Washed my bike today sorry I'd left it till now as the crud had set like concrete, took me 2 hours to shift it all and reckon it'll need another go to get it really clean, hope Mrs xs has a spare toothbrush as I couldn't find any old ones

Had a really good day out, the tour is free they just ask you make a donation of a tenner to their chosen charity Would recommend it to anyone interested in bikes really, I can't think of better way to donate money to a good cause and any excuse to get out on the bike is a good one in my book, first rideout of the year for me, my bike needs the carbs cleaning as she wouldn't hold a tick over all day also needs a good wash after me and Drew had to take a small but very muddy detour around what we think was a tree blocking the road in the wake of storm Dorothy. It great to meet with the southern softies who went by car ha ha, its the same lads me and Drew have been to IOM with the last two years and the banter never ends with them from the minute we meet its always a good laugh or as they say a good laarf. I'll try post some pics later having probs with photobox and most of my pic look the same as Drew's anyway.

Welcome back bipp didn't realize you where gone, (NOT) will be good to see you at squires this year, not the same with out you.

Yes think you're on the money with the fault and it might be right that rd might fit, but I would imagine that the damping would be different as rd will weigh about 50% lighter than your bike, their are companies out there that can rebuild you're old shock which I think is the route I'd take.

Yeah one of you mods pin it up, then in future when anyone asks we can tell them where to go, not that it's ever stopped any of us before

Welcome Shambles, ERM that's not an old bike not on here anyway

Very sorry to hear that Slice best wishes to you and yours

Best fiver you'll spend all year Quick flash of us on the grid there Drew

Slice loves his fjr

Slice are you still up for this

I'll tow you Slice if you really want a go

Hope to see you on the Spanish trip before then Slice sorry I have a problem with icons, can't delete them once I've clicked on it in error sorry should be well its near enough.

Hic!# Happy new year everyone

kev had a cracking beard last time I saw him

It's never to late my daughter is trying to teech me to play the ukulele I figure it an instrument I could take with me on long trips to anoy everyone with yes I know it's not a uke

That brings back memories, my Dad did it that way back in the day Wouldn't recommend it for modern chains with orings , xrings & whatever!
