Def fancy that, need reminding closer. (see goldfish brain above, thats my boy and it runs in the family)

Congrats. Does that mean you're coming out with us on Sunday?

probably

Apparently no ice cream for someone next time he's here!

She just said I can play out next Sunday but it will cost me a dinner on Saturday!

Wish I could make it, Weds/Thurs/Friday usually better for me but depends on work.

Now following 2nd test, today will probably be last day. I love it, like chess on a field with real people to play with. I have extra interest in the Ashes as large family in Australia to get bragging rights over.

I ruled out the Trophy 'cos of the weight and the seat height -too tall for me really. I had 2 deauvilles at 250k each then moved onto an FJR at 290 ish and riding is no problem, its moving it around in the garage or car park. That got nicked and now got the BMW rt, back down at 250 kilo and I just feel more comfortable handling it.

Thats a good question. 1975 18 years old - crappy Hillman Imp TBB637G 1978 Vauxhall Chevette JRJ7N 1980 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 WVR410S First Bike - Deauville in 2005. Can't tell you the reg as I use it as a password for my bank account !!!

Well done, now the fun part choosing the new bike. Watch your budget 'cos you'll want something different in 6 months - or less.

I accidentally got some WD40 on my lawn, totally killed the grass, so I might try that on the drive next.

Self confessed old fart seeks like minded bikers for gentle rides out in manchester/north cheshire area. Fed up chasing my son across Woodhead etc, also trying to get my other half onto the bike so anyone with an enthusiastic pillion would be even more welcome.

Hi, was also at bikesafe today with al, my son. I'm the old fart that rides a tourer and doesn't keep up over the tops. You don't give any sign of seniority, but if you have to take your kids swimming you're a lot younger than me. Anyway I'm in stockport, only 10mins round the 60 from you.
