Hello all

[AndyP]

This time I couldnt resist it. The thought had been with me for quite a while but now ive gone and done it. Bornagain, of 20+ years! has bought himself a monster. It really is everything and more I was looking for. The only regret? Should have done it years ago. Or not given up at all!!

[scrumpster]

Welcome and enjoy your Monster, they are pretty special and I got mine after being a late starter!!! :)

[Stafford]

Hi Andy. I used to live off Woodbridge Road there but now I'm up in rural Narfuk. Paranoid Dave is your area rep, we quite often meet up and do stupid things mostly involving motorbikes. Would be great to see you out.

[Stafford]

and do stupid things mostly involving motorbikes.

What do you do when bikes are'nt involved?
I'm getting worried now, I know you lot are mostly cousins. :look:

Q
Oi. We drink when motorbikes are not involved, we dance, we sing (we actually win prizes donchaknow), we get dressed up and have a laugh, we eat well and generally insult each other too.
We are not related but I know what you mean. I am beginning to suspect that I am living in a small pocket of Madness. Blimey. Can I go home now?

Hi Andy P,

I went out on my 900 tonight for the first time after 5 months of riding the trike. Felt a bit strange to be leaning on corners again, but at least I didn't forget to put my foot down when I stopped :o

Look forward to meeting you at some point on 2 or 3 wheels :D

[Albie]

Hijack. Well well well thats good new. Have you made new bits or have you borrowed again.:D

Im chuffed with it, first choice would have been an 'S' in red though but theres not many to choose from round here, and I was getting impatient!

[gary tompkins]

If you mean the gearchange - borrowed (or returned) to solo again

Trike will be on a SORN for a while as I have a few things to sort out ;)
