Final day of my year long course and now have 2.5 weeks off to enjoy. Stopping in bristol on the way home tonight to get very very drunk

Course average of 92.7% which isn't to bad free Gerber and entry to IMechE for a year for being top student and outstanding student.

Last few days of the course doing some waterproofing, again! At In stow.

Having never used a Stuart Hall onhold CD. His CD came with the Titan CD players which lots of people have used as on hold music for the past 10-15 years. Luckily I've avoided it.

Got the bike out for the first time this year.

What a coincidence. I had a puncture at work in September last year. I took the wheels off and by the time I'd got new tyres it was

1) cold.

2) I couldn't find the key.

Last month building services contacted me and asked if I'd lost a key to a bike. They also said it had to be removed by the end of April. So this morning I put the wheels back on and rode it away. Started first time, although I had charged it up.

Got sick of it looking like this over winter.



I have been riding my other bikes though.

What bike have you got Icey?

Maybe there should be a 'bikers corner'.

Good Evening My Friend.

A coincidence indeed. The weather does seem to set-fire to the desire to be sip of the hand that feeds the freedom and thrill of two wheels, just as it does the summer skies. The bike eclipses the vx in some ways but the vx shines through in others. Happy to see/hear that you are back on the road again.

I have a 1999 (unrestricted) Hayabusa. She's black, silver and gun metal grey with alot of, changed to and/or added, chrome.

I've been out polishing the chrome today, so have just the paintwork polishing, paint work touch-up with the paint pen and then waxing to do and then she's all ready for the road again.

Best regards sir. Safe journeys...

...and another coincidence. I used to have one, still miss it a bit.



If you want a baglux tank cover and non matching bag let me know. I still have it and I'd rather it went to a good home than took up space in the loft and I can't be bothered trying to sell it.

Hello Sir. I think everyone (who's in to bikes) should at least once in their lives, own a busa...fantastic machines. Thank you very much indeed for your very kind offer, one that i'll not take you up on but do feel extremely happy to receive your generosity. I have a cheap throw-over pannier but it marks the paintwork, so am going to get some proper ones but am not a big fan of box's and bags attached to the bike, it ruins the look, i'm currently looking into the best backpack to get. Once i've finished getting my busa all looking good, i'll take some photographs to share with you. Nice to chat again my friend and thank you very much for your kind offer... ..icey

Managed to get out of bed and dressed without to many tears of pain thanks to the doctors pills The big down side is I can not drink with the pain killers and muscle relaxants, now thats not a good plan But a bit happier to be on the move slightly. Roll on a fixed back bone.

Honda Sp2. Mmmmmmmm.......

Serial vtwin owner here. Started with an Aprilia rsv Mille! Ran an sv650 as a winter hack and am currently stuck on my ktm 950sm. Tried running a few gsxr's etc as second bikes but an il4 just isn't the same.

There's something so right about a white Honda SP2 in castrol colours. Now there's a future classic!

Buying one of these

This is the thread I posted when buying it. Yes, they are a future classic I think, and I got this for a very good price. I can't say I'm fixed only on V twins, but I know what you mean. I've had a Suzuki TL1000s before but that was the only other one. At full chat they do sound brilliant. Inline fours are a bit anaemic, but I also have a Triumph tripple and that does sound nice.

Shouldn't you be working on your car, rather than going out getting sloshed?
