Hi All,

I used to be on the 'old' site, since 2000 or whenever it was started, but have only just made the transition to this one.

Just checking in!

Nice to see you made it Ben

Hello, welcome to RS

Welcome back old son.

You still scribing?

Glad you made it over Ben.

Noticed that you'd registered fairly recently and wondered when we'd here from you!

Hi Ben - you been walkabout again

Welcome back Ben - good to see you on board!

Nice to have you back Ben.
Keep up the good work in the day job, always good to read your stuff.
How's the Falco going, do you still get out on it much?

Hi Ben,

So what have you been doing for all this time???

Your not one of those people who have a life are you?

Hey guys,

thanks for the warm welcome to the new site! Have been in a couple of time to browse but it was all looking very complicated, so I didn't get around to sitting down and navigating my way around. All these bright colours and all... I'm pop in quite often

Have still got the Falco and have been using it quite a lot recently. I use it to go up to Leeds every other weekend and for weekend fun. Still not intending to sell the bike, coz I can't think of anything that I want to replace it with. All these new bikes and there's very little that I fancy for my own garage. The RG500 I'm rebuilding on the other hand... Can't wait for some 500cc two-stroke action!

Yes, still typing for a living. Hmm, no wonder I'm skint...

Has this got anything to do with your "bends",

Ben,
Have you ever heard or met a guy called Mark Denton???, he has (or had) an unbelievable RG500 which was fully tuned inc water injection into the chambers etc... I saw it when we raced at the BMF moped mayhem a few years back where he had a moped running on methanol and producing 15bhp (it seized solid every race though! )

He knew his stuff! (obviously not on keeping mopeds running for hours though)

Ben - I've just picked up a copy of June's edition of RiDE (June in April FFS!) and it suggests that you're running the RG at the Northwich Thundersprint.

...... should we be believing all that we read in the press ? ... or this bit of it at any rate....

I believe Paddy will be there ('cos he lives in Northwich) and I had been thinking of checking it out on one or other of the days.
