  1. £7500 fine here and whatever in prison, but I don't live in the southern U.S. or Indonesia, so I'm probably safe!
  2. Well, Martin, I learned something new and bizarre again from the forum! It's better than wickiwhatsit! Whatever, Randy. Martin is right: a little bit used and scuffed is fine for a V11. Mine came to me in just this condition - nicely run-in and not so immaculate that I worry about which walls I lean it against outside which bars. Enjoy!
  3. That's just unsportsmanlike. I've always approached aggressive cocks on equal terms......that is, with a sharp axe [i don't grow spurs]. On the other hand, if you're possessed of a quality sidelock from a decent maker, well....any excuse!
  4. You haven't heard my advice yet! Buy a V11 Sport. Forget the fancy limited edition jobbies for which you will pay wads. Hang some Mistrals on it and just enjoy it!
  5. OK, now you've got started on the slippery slope, what's the next one? How big's that new shed? The Buell sounds seriously enjoyable!
  6. Parilla, 100cc?
  7. Were you some sort of cook in a former life, Belfast, or do you just have an unmanly interest in recipes and such [particularly those involving chicken]?
  8. Yeah, it's the bit leading up to and including "Cover chicken with water" that budding chefs might find a wee bit problematic, with you know who... You'd be OK with the carrots, though.
  9. Enough of this unseemly boasting about cocks, Mr Forrest! It's ungentlemanly and undignified [serge says].
  10. For your information, guys, Serge isn't a Bantam: he's a Limousin Grey/Marran cross. That makes him a) moody heavy c) agile. He treats expressions such as "Here, Sergey boy" "chooky" and especially "come to chef" with the contempt they deserve. Oh, he'd come, but with the twin intentions of spurring your jugular and easing your eye out with his beak. I kid you not, he's had the better of all the local tomcats, a pine marten [they specialise in eating chickens as a rule] and won a stand-off on points with a local German Shepherd... Any "red-eye" you see in his photos isn't an effect of the camera: it's natural!
  11. Didn't get right into the corners, though.
  12. There you go! Actually, Jim, I began motorcycling by having a very bruising relationship with three such BSAs. None of them ever ran for more than thirty seconds without breaking, leaking copiously or veering dangerously into the gutter [or perhaps that was me]. Why three? In the fond hope that I might someday have one that ran reliably. The optimism of youth! The name "Bantam Super" is an oxymoron. The wonder is that I continued with bikes at all. I did have other BSAs, later, which weren't quite as bad.
  13. I have nothing to add: I just wanted to everyone to go back and see this again! Thanks, Martin.
  14. This is interesting. "makes include Triumph" is encouraging. But the list of problems you can experience with a bra is bizarre: it reads like all the attributes I have discovered! - rides up at the back - slips off the shoulder - too tight - bulges over the top - doesn't hold you firmly ..and the problem, ladies, would be.......?
  15. There's that word again: he's restless already today, and not a little grumpy, and now I'm going to have to tell him what you said. Go on, I dare you to register as Admin Jaap!
  16. You mean.......BFG's real name is Barbarella?!
  17. Tell us how great life is at about 7.00am tomorrow, Big J!
  18. You had to be there.
  19. Frenchbob

    WTF?

    I couldn't see it, either, but I've suddenly lost the desire to.
  20. Rain here, this morning, then fine. Doh! Wrong thread again. Today I'm mainly bin servicin' the Triton. I had forgotten how fast it is for an oldie....and how bloody uncomfortable!
  21. This was one was an error! And I haven't been drinking all afternoon.
  22. I'm not saying. Must sign off now: got to get back to the lingerie site.
  23. I've got one of those; I couldn't get on it! Mike, those are really useful sites: thanksfor posting the links. I was talking to my dealer the other day: he reckons it has to be dismantled, and that's the way he does it. I'm determined to do it without. While I was there, sat on a Greaso: it was yellow, which didn't help. I really do prefer my V11. I was also taken in the back to see and hear a customer's Nero Corsa being run up on a new Stucchi crossover and Ti cans. This is why I do my own work!
