Great for the grin factor :smt003

That is really nice
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

Not sure where the show was Dave.

140cc? Mo mate. Happy to plod around. Although there is a 190 single cylinder 4 valve engine that produces 28 BHP?

The standard unit only produces about 6 BHP.

Wow fabulous, but don't let it get wet.
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

I likeee :smt004 :smt023

.... although I don't go for the "bolted on as an afterthought number plate" .... which I think might not fully comply with regs due to positioning - though I doubt you're likely to encounter any problems with it.

Could have a look here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001 ... 561_en.pdf I couldn't be arsed to look myself but I also believe that there were at one time a lot of bikes with side mounted plates ie 1930'ish onwards
