commando tod Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Well hello everyone. The name is Tod, I`ve had various bikes (and never been without one) since I was 15, that was some 37 years ago. so do the sums yourself, I`m getting too old to remember my age. Fairly competent with a spanner as I done an apprenticeship with a Morris/BMC dealer, (remember them?) but not with electronic thingamybobs. (why oh why did they ever get rid of whitworth). I enjoy a good ride out,particularly to the coupes moto legende in dijon, france. Single malts, sitting by the campfire, and talking boll*x. Which is a very very good reason to go for a ride out in the first place. Lots of other interests but won`t bore the nuts off you with it here, keep that for the single malt and the campfire.

Welcome to the forum Tod, single malt and a campfire sounds like you've got your priorities right mate!
savagehenry Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Hi commando tod, Welcome to the site. Sounds as if you'll fit in quite well around this place. Single malts, or barley pops, or good bourbon, or whatever bottle is being passed around the campfire while we bullshit, and discuss the next big ride. Yep, you'll do just fine. See you "round the fire", as it were, S.H.

Did someone say singlemalt,i'm fairly new myself about a year on this site and whats not to like if you have a Guzzi "Nuff said".

Stu.
commando tod Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks for the welcome. I`d be happy to share a single malt with anyone who appreciates it, as for bourbon, Jim Beam black label is my fancy at the moment, very easy, caramely type of taste. Right, now I`m off to find some thermal conductive paste (sensor issue).

Maybe you would enjoy a little ride out to Northern Ireland, May Bank Holiday? See this thread. Info here: moto.belfastguzzi.com Right, now I`m off to find some thermal conductive paste (sensor issue). Well, at your age, the sensitive teeth issue is to be expected. Can you get that toothpaste in 'caramely' flavour?
commando tod Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 I appreciate the offer Belfastguzzi, but as I drive a truck for asda, easter bank holidays are a bit of a no-no with them. I get well compensated for it (single time and 2 lieu days, making 4 extra holidays in the process). I have to book my hols well in advance, and have done for the rest of the year. But when I am let loose
