For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

amazing what he keeps under that beard....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

It was a pleasure and an honour, sir. And useful, giving me a a rehearsal for getting my shock & linkages off. A delightful change, getting my hands on another member's bits.

The hospitality was top-notch - Maria's stew went down a treat - sorry I couldn't finish it. The Mill Farm Caff deserves more patronage.

Needs more bikes in it though.

Oi! We've got plenty of big posh houses.

Mr & Mrs Library have a nice one.
And a bloke called Morrison has just built a huge one with loads of bike parking.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Think Morrison is a friend of Geoff's. He's always popping in there for a cup of tea and some cake.

And we know all about clocks. Got to be on time to sign on and be up at the bar for last orders.
