Bars open!

#1 Post by nicketynoo » Tue Nov 24, 2015 2:40 pm

Just in a bar buying Dom his first legal pint. Couldn't be prouder unless of course he'd asked for a mans drink and not some fruity cider pop type beverage! :smt005 anyway I've chucked a load of cash in the till so fill yer boots while I'm feeling generous.
Happy birthday Dom! :smt030

Happy bidet

I hear your dad has given you some ropey old Suzuki 2 stroke for your 18th.....

He's just jealous, nobody gave him a ropy old Suzuki 2 stroke.
Happy birthday anyway, 18 seems so long ago :smt012

As it happens - for my 18th my dad gave me the cash for a ropey of kh400 with a Stan Stephens stage 2 kit

Was very fast but the handling was.... Interesting

Anyway as an aside did you know Stan Stephens did kits for Aprilia's

And no, mine was green....

Erm not sure the ropey old Suzuki 2 stroke in question would last too long in his hands.I'm still rectifying the damage he did to my little yam. Rebore after running it empty of 2 stroke oil , corrosion due to never cleaning it and a chain that took your ankles off whilst riding!! :smt018
Somehow I think not! :smt011

What else did folk get for their milestone birthdays?
I got a Spanish watch despite never wearing one and living in a tent at the time and told I wasn't invited to my dads wedding as it was only for close family lol

Can't remember 18 - or 21 as the milestone was then - but for my 50th I got a 400 Superdream in need of tlc, one of the best presents I ever had!
