ExPat Matt

First wack 1024.5 Couldnt hit the bugger after then, its been a long day!

Im with you on that BeezKneez.

My tongue is pierced as well, thats how i ended up with big floppy ears!

Until i had kids i only had bikes. Shopping can be done with a rack to strap a box on and a rucksack, but its uncomfortable. I have given up on cars after buying a new one that constantly needed fixing, but, my good lady has her little runaround. When the weather is bad i jump on my ped. But im not as young as i was so when its icy i take the car. I kept crashing the ped

Im a Lincolnshire lad, the land of twisty roads and tractors just around that blind corner!

Shit, i currently own all of the things he hates! I think ive found a new mate :wink: Should i sleep with one eye open? :?

yes mate, actually live in belgium 2 minutes away from the dutch border, work in holland, live with a dutch woman and spend most of my time in holland. Only living in belgium cos houses cost half as much as in holland. It was a bang for buck thing!

well as it happens.............being in Holland im often inclined to go into a coffee shop, for a coffee.

i cant argue with any of your points xTreme but i have never bought a new bike so warranty issues have never affected me. All i know is, off all the bikes ive owned, from sportsbikes to ratters, everyone had its niggles or strange habits. I loved em all. But some more than others!

Got too many! Right arm is a sleeve till my elbow, left arm has a big un, 2 on my chest, one on each leg. And a new small one is going on the back of my neck when i have some spare cash, a bar code! If you scan me im reduced to 2.99! i regret some, am not 100% happy with any of em but each one tells a story and most have been done in different countries. But.....they are personal to me, i dont show em off, none are ever realy seen. They are private, just like my undies :oops:

I thought id better say hello properly, cos you be seeing me around on the notice boards. The names Matt, Im a 35 yr old bike fanatic, if its got 2 wheels and an engine im probably gonna like it! Been riding for 14 years, the ex wife made me sell my bikes to finace some rug rats so there was a 6 year gap. But as soon as the divorce was through (5 yrs ago) the bikes came back. I live on the Dutch/belgium border with my lovely cloggy woman who accepts that bikes are my first love! My daily ride is a Thunderace, my mistress is a GSXR 750RR, in the winter i ride a moped and i got a project or two (which might or might not be put back together!). I see that there is abit bike racism on this site :? so im here to put the cat among the pidgeons :twisted:

I found it through sheer fustration with my Yam! Never had these probs with my SUZUKI :eek

Im a glorified metal gluer (welder)! I get burned ofter, sweat constantly and its almost impossible to get my hands clean! But it pays ok so i keep doing it! But at heart im just a layabout
