Screw the Weather


Did you already put the new pegs on? They sure are shiny.
 
This photo is not me, but the sort of stuff we built as kids.
OH no - that reminds me of a bike a mate had in the early '80's. We met on a RAC/ACU bike training course. He was a dyed in the wool oddball. He bought a "chopper" frame which had re-bar forks. He was constantly cornering in a straight line.

He fitted in some old lump of an engine which was frankly not in a good state - but swore it was a brilliant bike - despite regularly being overhauled by Yamaha FS-1E's. UK guys know what a fizzy was - a Moped. But his was a British Bike you see. And "all" I had was a CJ250T Honda. Then we passed our tests and could upgrade. About the same time I bought my first Guzzi (a used 850-T3) he bought a Triumph T140J. We had to stop every 50 miles coz his hands were numb.

Lost touch with him when I started doing practice hauls for 1000 mile runs across Europe. Wasn't natural to sit for so long - apparently.
Lost touch completely when I left the UK. He's still about I understand - but still an oddball.
 

AWESOME, but how was the motor ride???
 
Come to Okehampton , I'm sure he must have moved here ? More odd balls than you can shake a dirty stick at !
 
Whilst I have no idea where he lives, I know exactly where he works - where he always has. He's a truly gifted Locksmith. Alot of Jewelers are glad he is a straight forward honest bloke. Odd, but honest.

But I don't imagine he would venture far abroad (like Devon) for long. Hell it's another county.
Tried to get him to go to a M/C show in Birmingham once - he went all quiet.
