"This is a rare opportunity for somebody to own a true custom motorcycle!" Thank the lord for that, lol I can just hear Ogri saying, "God's teeth Malcolm" -
I feel a bit stupid as well to be honest, but there again I'm not always thinking straight when I'm in the company of you two anyway, lol. If you need any help unloading the engine give me a shout, that's assuming you'll get monkey boy brother to load it in the trailer for you at her end? -
AAArrrggghhh! Tammy, I can't believe it, I feel so stupid that I didn't do a text check for you when we got there to pick it up. I'm not so sure now that she didn't know it's history. Would you let me talk to her for you? I can be quite persuasive sometimes. I feel really annoyed too now.

Well done Tamzin, on what was a real crap day for a test too. See you on a Bandit soon then -
Thanks, always loved the IOM, must go again one day, maybe the Manx though next time and take my Dommie (if it's finished). -
Tammy is going for her MOD 1 test

That's excellent news Sophie, wish Tammy all the best from me -
Well done Tamz! All the best for next week. x -
Off Topic: What's this hinge called?
cab1 replied to Macie_UK's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
A bit less ornate than yours but same sort of thing. I've never fitted any of this type as, like you say, they are used in Europe more even on large internal doors, shutters etc. http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/Products/Hinges/Cabinet_Hinges/13974/Screwless_Type_Hinge -
I love Cadwell Park, it was the first race track I ever went to, 'twas for Barry Sheene's first race after his Daytona crash in 1975. I've had a few track days there too with the Trident and Rocket 3 owners club, a focused events day both around the full circuit and a couple of Supermoto events with NORA around the "woodland section" (mountain and the first part of the straight back to the bottom of the mountain again). Being narrow in comparison to other tracks certainly makes it a challenge to overtake but compared to some hillclimbs I've done it's like a motorway! -

Hi Tamz, I hope you're having a good one! -
I saw them at the motorcycle expo a few years while the idea was being developed and wondered if they were on sale yet as I've never seen one, does anybody know anyone with one yet? -
God's teeth Malcolm! Have you seen the "other items" he has for sale though? I've noticed this seller for about a year now and almost bought from him once. He usually has a nice collection of 2 stroke Kwak triples for sale, at a price mind! -
It's a joke though...............isn't it? -
Really? I didn't mean during the confrontation but the way he swerved in front and pulled him up. -
Regardless or not if the scooter rider made a mistake, he wasn't going to do the driver any harm, the way the driver re-acted to the rider was life threatning. What was the outcome as I didn't watch to the end? I'd have used the video evidence for sure, the blokes a maniac and the rider was obviously being intimidated by him.

Not today, but I went out yesterday for a bit of a wobble round, was nice to be out in the sun again. -
Thanks again for the welcome all Yep...I second all that...Nice to see you in here Cab Looking forward to the gig too.....they have been the best band we've seen and play up to the crowd....hope it's as good this time You are both too kind, the ride was a bit spontaneous as I was only going to warm the bike up while I washed two months of building site crap of the van. It seemed too good an opportunity to miss as there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so a quick check over to see all was OK, tyres, water etc. and I went off for a quick (slow) wobble round. Will definately call for a tea this week though -
I was about to say that's my first ride on the bike this spring, but as it's only still Feb. I'm almost ashamed to say that's was my first ride on the bike this winter. Nice though, on one of my favourite circuits, sorry I mean roads, from Meriden to Kingsbury via Nuneaton and back. I saw a few others out with the same idea. -
Thanks for the welcome all. I must mention that it was Fallen Angel and Pussycatz that steered me in this direction. thanks. Oh dear, I thought I'd only just escaped from there lol!

...first post so be gentle, Speed Triple owner, third in fact so a hint to where my cash has gone although I've had a few Jap bikes as well in the past. So a virtual round on me then!
