  1. Only when they're not warmed up. Start my engine then tog up with helmet and gloves and annoy my neighbours then off I go, usually without snatching.
  2. Serves the scrotes right.
  3. Bloody difficult to keep an eye on it when I am wearing it!
  4. Think there still is along with an Aston Martin and Bentley dealer. Not that I am in the market unless I win the lottery . My wife's Lexus dealer is in the same general area and more interesting to me is Helmet City who hang out in the trading estate off Tewkesbury Road.
  5. I live in the posh part of Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds AONB (by about 100m) but it does push prices up. Up the hill in old Randwick perfectly average Cotswold cottages sell for 500 k plus. That's a nice part of the world! Is Cheltenham still very affluent? Parts of it are very affluent but like everywhere else it has the less wealthy bits as well. We looked at houses there but compared to Stroud they were about 25% more expensive at least.

  7. My neck of the woods and based on my house hunting of a couple of years ago about 400 K pre- Covid. Post Covid about fourpence.
  8. Operative bit being to you, think you been at sea too long Probably. Now if he'd been wearing a mop on his head there's no telling what my reaction might have been. And please don't encourage him.
  9. Why are you dressed up like Puff the Magic Dragon? Looks kinky to me.
  10. my neighbour had a Ducati, he had it running all day once , i had to go round and complain about the noise ... turned out he was doing some concreting , wasn't the bike at all.... 540x360.jpg It has been commented that the V-twin has a certain not very discreet sound. On overrun passing grumpy old ladies with their grumpy little Pekes it does cause a degree of animosity.
  11. I really like Italian bikes, can't help myself. My current Ducati has been a pleasure and, touch wood, very reliable. I also like Japanese bikes and British and German and Austrian and American and even Indian. Basically everything except Chinese. Them I really don't like and I freely admit that is a personal thing and rapidly expanding to everything made in that benighted country.
  12. He's around claiming his auntie was boffing Mel Gibson. Poor woman,
  13. Sat next to an apparently well known actress on a ski lift in Canada. Being oblivious to that kind of thing I didn't realize until I got off and someone commented on it and asked what she was like. As I didn't exchange a word except for "Good morning" I couldn't say and I can't remember who she was anyway. Hopeless case me.
  14. If he got a dirt bike he could call it Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
  15. Don't know owt about Halfords horn but the Ducati came with a feeble Italian scooter horn which was horrible. The Denali Sound Bomb was a straight forward plug and play swap. Sounds considerably more authoritive.
  16. We had freedom and we thought we'd live forever. Also we'd never heard of global plagues outside of a history lesson about the Black Death.
  17. Only if that's your thing. Don't know if Miss Whiplash is allowed to do house calls at the moment.
  18. A few years ago my wife was in London with my grandson in a pushchair. She was stepping on to a pedestrian crossing with a green walk signal when some f**k wit on a bike went straight through the red light clipped the front of the pushchair with his pedal and then cursed out my wife. I think if I'd been there he may have required a visit to the A&E. I'd have probably got an interview in the nearest cop shop
  19. Right now in the UK you can't do motorbikes.
  20. Now now! I just have a low tolerance for stupid Would the prolonged house arrest we are all enduring be starting to get to one? It sure as bloody hell is getting to me!
  21. I'd go back in a second if only because I'd be 20 something instead of 60 something. When I got my first bike in London I rode it up to Liverpool never having properly ridden a bike before. Fell off twice somewhere in a foggy Oxfordshire. Still have no idea of the way I went.
  22. Were the camera vans checking speeds or doing number plate recognition to track people doing uncessary journeys.?
  23. Has six been kidnapped by aliens and replaced by some badly programmed android? We should be told.
  24. V-twins vs everything else.
