whatttttt........ you mean that russian bride i just ordered. hee hee - know somebody who has a russian mrs, now I know how they met Actually those russia women look good but may not be the easiest to live with (observing my friend's situation) -
I'd be so frightened of dropping it - pathetic aren't I? -
looks like a mountain in the background of the last picture, got an odd memory of visiting wales, ages ago, we (family) were going through all these lovely scenic montain type roads and came across a little chef (ugly shed like building) or similar, it had a bleak unlandscaped car park yet it was prominently situated up high in this beautiful area - strong winds were blowing and loads of people sitting in cars with their engines running - don't know why that sticks in my adled mind. Can't remember much about the holiday! -

much worse sites a chap could go on - at least ebay is fairly harmless -
the bike looks good - went out with the IAM crowd, observed riding, encouraged to ride fast (which always surprises me) and definitely nippy on a naked bike. Thankfully the exhaust bodge repair stayed put.

yep stratford on avon isn't too far but third sunday (ie 20.5.2012) committed to IAM training, you visiting either side of that? Saturday 19th ? -

it's all a bit too easy and tempting especially as there is the expectation of a bargain, with motorbikes they have to be reasonably local for me which many are not - that means factoring the fuel/getting there and no real possiblity of a look see first but then I'm in the budget zone. admit this is somebody being a bit cruel to a dog (not funny) but the idea is original -
apologies - misunderstood, thought you had been this year, don't know how I got that impression, long way to come. Maybe meet you in May
-
hey sweban, how did you find your recent trip to the uk, what were your impressions - heavy traffic?
-
unusual - a dog in a cat transport box fixed to the back carrier of an mz, that's about all I've seen before. just love these gifs, don't worry I'll run out of them soon

glad that it worked out with no injury, nuisance though having to get the tyre changed. -
will it hold? - find out tomorrow proprietary kit was not much use for 'v' like area on silencer as the two sets of pipes come together so a mix of what was to hand, steel wool and wire. Sounds better and short run into town worked out but the test will be the 200 miles odd away day tomorrow. while awaiting engine repair it makes sense to avoid sunstantial outlays. Hopefully the engine can be put right at reasonable cost and a new silencer duly purchased. couldn't part the silencer from pipes so welding not an option. -
nice looking kids -
take the mrs's advice matey they know best -
like it too - never known for my good taste -
IAM training, starts at 9.00 am (Sunday) at Woking, bit of a hike from Oxford - tad chilly in the early morning - still it has to be done. try and bodge the blowing exhaust beforehand. -
the only one up here, time is ticking by...shopping to be done, house to clean, car to wash...yawn - could do with a bit more sleep -
this is the best time, Friday has come round again, free person for a couple of days and back with the family...lovely jubbly -
that was good - enjoyed it thanks -
Decided to keep the bike unless mechanic finds the problem is too serious to make it an economic proposition (he says that he won't know how bad/minor issue of oil use is until he has it apart. Consequently holding up on silencer and tyres replacement until we know when he does the work in July. It's rideable but not really up to a longer m/way trip or haring around with the IAM crowd at present (they ride surprisingly fast). Thanks, found your comments useful, the regret factor, joys of tinkering issue, that it is an interest/hobby and above all the sanity/stress busting benefits . -
teehee -
apologies, still trying to get the hang of posting images -
weird but entertaining -
