A jolly time was had by all, (not enough Falcos, though) and I got have a chat with Flatlander and Randomsquid, which was nice. After getting lost, and nearly convincing Flatlander to do the same...
There was another brown one tucked away by a big blue bin, though he might have left before you arrived, not sure. I bet Nooj's brown one was there in spirit. Still, world domination beckons.

There was also a rare green one for a bit and one with a fighter kit including pedestrian slicers and a couple of black ones. Also lots of those things that are a bit like a Falco but ugly.

Nice to put a face to the name though.

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

so I learnt a couple of useful things from this all to brief encounter some of which may serve you well ::

if you are welsh watch out for will he shoots you !
if you are lost don't follow mago he will be more lost than you
if your tom tom fails because you forgot the power charger definitely don't follow him he will definitely be more lost than you
Nooj is not bad at cleaning bikes but looks way too scarily like one of my neighbours except for the absence of a beard :smt002
Bronze is definitely the prettiest colour and despite their rarity value seem more impervious to impending adverse weather ... DR take note! :smt002 the sun nearly always shines if you are on a bronze one

Oh and I purged a bad memory as I went past the place I danced on my puch free spirit all those years ago but and exorcised that ghost after thinking that stretch of road had me jinxed for so long :smt003

Oh and nealry forgot me credit cards and ebay not a good mix :smt003


yes I bought another shock absorber and have absorbed a fair chunk of my limit this month on a fine collection of the rear shocks could make a nice exhibit piece :smt005 :smt017
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

so spake Noah

and apologies I was not in attendance - I wanted to be but....


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...
