Re: Now I Have Seen Everything!
Well, Keith, I guess there are a few things left you hopefully will never see.
Its just like the Priest said on my first day in Army once upon the time:
"You will get to know here people of whom you never thought, that SOMETHING like this would exist."
Been there, done that once again a month ago in Indiana.
No names will be mentioned, I am hard trying to erase them from my mind.
Best regards to the north wet from the beginning summer.

I like how a big chunk it out of the piano to clear the handlebar.

Re: Now I Have Seen Everything!
I heard something similar at boot camp in the Marine Corps. Something like "You will meet people you like and you will meet people you hate. But whichever they are we all bleed the same. Just remember that in your days ahead."Peter Pan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 3:28 pmWell, Keith, I guess there are a few things left you hopefully will never see.

Re: Now I Have Seen Everything!
British guys, they do a load for charity at bike events, from weekend rallies all the way through to the TT. The Purple Helmets display team. They get up to some proper nonsense.
2003 750 Dalesman, 1975 CB400/4, 2012 DL650, 91 Ducati 750SS, 2009 California Classic, 1970 Raleigh Runabout . Thirty two bikes in the last nine years, my missus thinks I have a bike problem.
