"I've got a beautiful blue one thanks

I think she's gorgeous,some might think she's not that pretty,but I have

the satisfaction of knowing she'll never be as Ugly as a Burger King."

I can't believe you said that. Suppose all riders of "jelly moulds" need glasses

Ditto on Dave and Mel being great folk, but banter is banter and in moderation and with respect is good social lubrication......I also have a B-king so take the piss out of me instead all you want

Old and Disgraceful

Use the pea shooter Dave and you wont be riding the king for a while and only see Mel once a fortnight when she comes to visit

I'll have the plugs they take out as they will be in perfect condition, having not needed being changed. Also most unlikely throttle bodies will be out of synch' or throttle position sensor out, unless you have erratic or fast/slow tickover - things you can easily check yourself, seeing as you have the service manual. Check all the lube points as even super duper dealers like Redcar often miss something.

They won't do anything you, Dave, can't do yourself. And knowing you, if you do it yourself it will be done meticulously by the book and for only the price of the consumables (£60ish) whilst you get to know your bike even better

£5750 for an ancient Bolleaux to nostalgia, the World's gone MAD - again

Old and Disgraceful

Try a tin of Hammerite and a nice coarse brush

Seriously mate, I personally know how frustrated you get when a lot of work in a spray job does wrong.

Old and Disgraceful

I've been asked to put "Howling Wolf" in the show on Sunday so will be there. Anyone fancy coming to Paignton for a cracking day of bikes, bands and realted mayhem with lots of trade stalls etc? Proceeds to "Bikers Make A Difference" which is a charity which gives help wherever it's needed in the local area.

I'll be riding to Sennapod.....and doing a few 9sec runs

Lincolnshire is well to the east. Northants is central.

Old and Disgraceful

Leominster and Stratford are way north and east so how about SouthWest here in Devon

Old and Disgraceful

The wife used to call my willy "Thud". She's now started calling it "Barclaycard" - my flexible friend that I keep close at hand

Old and Disgraceful

I've now polished the bike FIVE times to get it as shiny as Dave's will be

Old and Disgraceful

After the lunch stop in Bickleigh I will split us into two groups; one lot taking the short route back to the hotel and the others who haven't got such numb bums doing 90ish miles over Dartmoor.





Hang about, that info's in the post Dave copied above

Old and Disgraceful

They've got to take all day as Dave is on a BLUE one, which as any fule knose is the slowest colour option. The blue ones have even more retardent applied at the factory than the silver ones. It's only the ones that come with all black paint that have the extra dilithium warp factor applied, which can only be enhanced by the judicious application of go faster gold (not to be confused with the ORANGE weheels on the blue ones)

Old and Disgraceful

Well I agree, the B-king is an ugly bike......if that's what you think. However my B-King has always drawn admiring glances and positive comments whenever and wherever I've parked up - never had anyone call it ugly to my face, or even in my hearing. Are all those people mistaken, are they intimidated by my macho presence, or is MCN out of touch (again)????

Old and Disgraceful

Whatever happens, Scott is definitely top quality and deserves all our proud support

Old and Disgraceful

Valentino who Never heard of him - looks like he might possibly be an up and coming star of the future once he's had a few more seasons practice to hone his skills and get his act together

Old and Disgraceful

I'm still stuck with BBC coverage - the red button lottery....."MotoGP has been cancelled. We are now showing underwater tiiddlywinks which we are sure more people will want to see"

I want cable in our remote village, and I want it NOW
