Hello there and welcome. Certainly got a lot of bikes. Im lucky enough to have 2 dukes. A s4 and a 748. Would like more though

:biggrin:

[Mand]

Hello and Welcome.

Knifebloke eh? Don't deal in cheap global knives do you? :p

Sorry I have been to the pub....

[Pugi]

Hmm...maybe a new hunting knife for me?
That's a tight garage you sport, just like many members here, welcome!

[Nicola Walsh]

must remember not to upset you then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............welcome

[Nonnie]

On reflection you're a bit scary aren't you?

[Mand]

I wish he would hurry up and reply, I have some veg in urgent need of chopping....

[Nonnie]

You been down the pub again love?!

[Mand]

You been down the pub again love?!


I most certainly have NOT! Global knives are the king of all knives when it comes to chopping veg.

[Nonnie]

OK, googling that then. I am evidently not an expert on World of Knives, I will be back when I know a bit more.

[Yorkie]

Welcome! Nice blades!!

Yorkie.

I beg to differ and prefer my old Sebatiers - personal preference though innit.

Oops - sorry - hello and welcome knifebloke.

I swear by Pirelli Diablos and so do many others here - The Fast One has a deal at the moment - £145 or so for the pair including delivery.

I favour Pirelli Diablo Corsas personally, you need a 180 on the rear though as they don't do a 170, but they're a fairly narrow profile so handling not affected. Standard Diablos work well too, I like the Corsas cos I enjoy trackdays as well. Another option is the Michelin Pilot Power, had excellent reviews, avoid the Pilot Sports though.
Oh, and welcome!

[benson]

Pirelli Diablos for sure - and what an intereting hobby you have - ought we to be scared? I think nonnie and I alreay are and if Mand can't find her glasses we'll be hiding behind her.....

Welcome nice bloke, er sorry I mean knife bloke. Good choice of wheels to ride, mind you I will have two monsters in my garage for a while!!!! :chuckle:

I use Richardson - with the tungsten edge, they are self sharpening and I they have stayed sharp for about 10 years!:thumbsup:

[yeharrr]

I have two bikes and three bins full of dog food in mine. And a washer and a dryer. I think I might have the frame on the washer re-powdercoated as it is a bit old now.
