I better get the black hammerite to my Rosso Corsa quickly so I can join your club. Guy

Oohhh another tyre thread! I have had 12000 happy miles on BT020s, mainy of them wet touring miles and they coped ok on the track, especially when it was cold and wet. But today I am fitting some Diablo Corsas- was going to get BT014s but thought hey its an Italian bike so it gets Italian tyres. I'll let you know how I get on. Guy

Have you included the one in the factory museum which if my memory serves me right has Ohlins too? Guy

Well BFG if you are ever over in these parts I will make you a massive toad in the hole wi' gravy- you will then know what you are missing. I'm also pretty good with Sunday roasts and curries although Helen is a much better cook than me. Please save your carrott cake for more health conscious inviduals.

Just to prove that a good German country sausage gives a man all the roughage he needs!

You would have prefered extra carrots of course.

I love that part of Italy too- camped in Lana last year near Merano- the roads are ace around there. Did you try the Timmelsjoch and Grampenpass?

As far as I understand it, all V11 production was halted a while back. There are shedloads still unsold in delaers across the world. I guess they may restart production if there was a demand or the usual thing when they find a pile of unused bits in the factory corner and make some V11 specials. Guy

Is that the Swiss thingy with automatic stabilisers that pop out when you want to stop?

If you want a bit of culture near to Barcelona visit the Dali museum at Figueres. Finish off with a nice cup of coffee in a cafe in the cobbled square. Then when you have had your fill of culture you can go to the beaches on the Costa Brava and look at some nice tits.

Both I reckon- my reaction times at the Pod were nearly twice as slow as my previous visit probably due to all the medication they pump into me. I was once overtaken by a Quasar too on the way to the big bike show at Beaulieu a few years back whilst doddering on my Sport Corsa - it was really shifting! Guy

Me or the bike???

Is it a Phasar / Quasar built around a V50?

Watch ot for the gypsy ladies in Prague- they will have your mobile phone and wallet in a flash- happened to mate of mine last year. Indian Ocean sounds better. Guy

This would brighten your new office nicely- only £200k for sale at Atlantic motorcycles- its a replica. Guy

Hey keep your chin up mate- you have a beautiful country with wide open spaces and plenty of room to ride! Helen and I are booking a motorcycling holiday in the USA next summer- can't wait! Do you buy your bits from Trojan Horse / Adrenelin Moto? They have some tasty stuff for Buells. You must sort out those right wing religious nuts though! Closet gays all of them! Guy

Its mainly the Lancastrians- they would rather be at home polishing their clogs than getting wet!

Nice one Andre! Looks mean and minimalist!! You have some great roads in Belgium- hope you get to enjoy it lots! Guy

Both my Grandads were in the Eighth Army too. Tom Lewis (my Dad's father) was captured on Crete and he was made to walk from Crete to the Stalag in Poland, fed only on potato peelings and the long journey took a whole year. He was in incarceration until VE day. Not all the Germans were nasty though- he was allowed to divert off the route with an escort while in Greece so he could visit his father's war grave- he was killed on the Corinth Canal in WW1 while my grandad was still a boy. My family has pics of both grandad's mucking about in the desert on motorbikes- must scan them and post them one day. I fully agree that Remberance Day is very important and we must never forget. Guy

Mmm lemme try some always wanted some breasts to play with!!

Can you smoke the leaves from his head?

I normally get it mixed up the dog biscuits Bonio which can lead to some embarrassing moments.

I reckon all Tenni owners should copy the great man's Sideshow Bob's hairstyle. Cant find any pics of his wild hair but he is a pic of the great man in action:
