  1. Very good. That's the first part of a plan then.
  2. Maybe not so lucky. Some attempts so far have been a bit insulting. We've already commented on the high mount can with angular pipe, that doesn't do the bike's design any favours at all. Now this stock ti can is being sold as an aftermarket option. The thing could hardly look more weedy.
  3. Hitchhiker's body wrapped ready for the grill, on the grass behind the sign?
  4. Ah, wondered what the full name is. Colin McCoy. Now what's the Social Security snitchline number?
  5. They don't make me do it, but every time I get back from England I have a real good bath.
  6. The original posts would need to be sought out. There was (loose) talk of going by ferry from England.
  7. I do think that's best. Exposure can be, well... misunderstood.
  8. would you? It certainly looks very handsome. I'll bet that it bothers the neighbours.
  9. oh goodey Did I ever mention the time when next door's cat was sleeping contentedly beside the V11 and I forget that the bike doesn't have a kick-start? I hope that this thread is going to be like that other one, the one where people were putting their heads into oil drilling machinery and holding broken driveshafts together with their teeth, not realising that years of sucking on sugar-cola were about to lead to sudden and dramatic consequence? Brits were breaking fingernails all over the place and the 'Mericans were losing ears and noses in freakish air-con fan accidents or having their legs off when all they meant to do was buff some dried egg off their jeans with the 9'' angle grinder they just happpened to have in their hands at the time. Forgot to put your sidestand down before getting off your bike, Englander boys? That's nothing: was it Crazee-boy Callison who forgot to get off his bike – before getting into his neighbour's car?

    Shed!

    Wise up now Nogs. You can't enjoy a tin box! Frenchbob has the right idea: 'Now I have a barn with Guzzis, Armstrong and chickens in it with everything else scattered around several buildings' – that you can enjoy
  11. ... or July or August??? PS the Boyne is Big J country. I heard a rumour that he might be a Sectarian Photographer.
  12. Nogbad has never made much of a secret of it
  13. 'cause you've dropped them?
  14. – yeah, but that's just you. Those Altbergs would play havoc with Martin's fishnets when he does the hokey cokey. and altbergs are waterproof enough to make your coffee in 'em

    How's BFG?

    http://www.bfglan.net/ Effective immediately, the BFG is closed. There will be no further BFG events held in the forseeable future. The BFG committee regrets that due to a number of factors, (including insufficient resources, decreased lan interest and legal concerns) we are no longer able to continue efficiently running a premiere event with the level of service, and features of 'big lannage' that we (and you, the patrons) expect. This is not necessarily the end, should we be able to restore the event's former glory, by all means we will try to. We do have plans for the future, but the means to the end are not available at this point in time. BFG wishes the best for you all, with particular thanks to those valuable people who gave generously of their time and effort to make it what it was. P.S. What time is it?
  16. Take care with the ferry 'discounts' chaps. From this side of the water, I have always found it to be a swiz. It could be just a cunning plan to keep undesirables out of lovely Britain I suppose. From here, any time that I have tried to book cheaper ferry travel through these offers, it has actually been MORE EXPENSIVE. I have sought explanation, a number of times, from the ferry company and from the bike magazines that carry the big adverts. Each time I have been told that they will investigate and get back to me – but they never have. Here is an example from a previous query: re suspect motorbike ferry travel discount I wonder is there any further info on this? I see that the Belfast - Stranraer discount is still being heavily advertised in various bike magazines. I have been prompted to enquire again by the full page advert in Bike magazine that arrived through my door today. I expect it will also be in MCN as usual. I have tried once again to get the discount online by entering an offer number. Bizarrely, I am quoted a HIGHER PRICE than the normal price every time: £82 with the offer compared to a normal booking price of £72. I have tried a couple of different bike magazine offer numbers, but that doesn't make any difference. It has always been expensive to get across the small stretch of water between N.I. and Scotland (& England, Wales). Any discount would be welcome and an incentive to travel. An offer of a surcharge isn't much use! (When I get the breakdown of prices, the first line says '5Day Return Fare by car, although 'motorbike is entered as the vehicle type. However I don't know what to make of this as when I request a 'car' price, it is indeed substantially higher.) It seems there is still something wrong with this system – or with the 'offer'. Below is information copied off the web booking site.

  17. sooo, Goldmembers: would they be kinda pretty much like customers on here then?
  18. Yes, it's all the woody fibre in here that keeps the Forum regular.
  19. I see yours fell off first though. Can't you get someone to 'run' behind you and keep you right. Interesting how the same problem transfers to your bike – ahh, yes, that's the answer: tie your hat on with string. allo, allo, allo: hand it over mr. Stringfellow – 109 inches should do it
  20. mmmmmmmmmmmm
  21. hmm... doesn't bode well for the new technical project
  22. why don't you go for LPG, or even better, methane?
