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!

anyway I've chucked a load of cash in the till so fill yer boots while I'm feeling generous.
Happy birthday Dom!

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

Happy Birthday Dom!
BTW alcohol's overrated.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

What she said but you'll find that out I know I did
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

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

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

Don't suppose it was in this colour
I like it
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!!
Somehow I think not!

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!
