hey jim nice to hear from you again :thumbup: aren't armadillos a problem in texas ( thought I read that somewhere?) Armadillos are really cool. They are about the size of an American style foot ball. They mostly move about at night and root around for grubs. They dig little holes and trenches but ...

I think the VTR is the perfect beginner motorcycle. It has lots of torque so you will avoid embarrassing stalls. It is narrow, easy to ride and very forgiving. You will not outgrow its performance any time soon. You can actually ride it within your comfort zone if you can avoid twisting its ear! Wel...

Thanks everyone. It's good to be back. These days I find that I am ether working or dealing with something for my mom and dad. Dad is OK. he is well taken care of but bored. The problem is that all the solutions to alleviate boredom are either physical (he can't do that) or mental (and he can't do t...

Thats life Jim...It's Foxes over here we dont do Bob Cats...My neighbours cat is called Cyril tho...Did find what was left of a Woodpigeon in me garden the other week. Oh & welcome back Jim. Where you been hiding ? We have foxes too but seeing them is rare. A couple of years ago my neighbors (t...

We had one melon left on the vine in the garden, I had it protected with straw and fleece and was hoping to get it through the winter with no frost damage. But one of the bloody chickens has eaten it. I have a white one, a black one and a brown one and wasn't sure which one ate the bloody thing? Bu...

So Santa Claus brought me a Android tablet. I have been wanting something like that, smaller than a laptop but a better screen than a phone. I have Microsoft OneNote loaded on it and I thought "Why not use the tools that come with the device?" I started looking around for a suitable how-to...

That really is one good looking bike.

Talking about lucky finds. Had the opportunity when fitting a water treatment system to walk through the Metisse workshops and the owner even fired one up the parallel twin sounded awesome :thumbup: :thumbup: http://www.metisse-motorcycles.com/ I actually had a Metisse rolling chassis that was set ...

but at least your riding bikes. some of the balloons i know never ride any bikes. just such a waste.. I was at a bike show and there was an old Velocette sitting in the parking area. It was wearing modern tires. The black paint on the tank had been polished by knees and the gold pin striping was wo...

what i hate is people buying these type of bikes and never using the fecking things :redface . there more than happy to blow there trumpet about what they own but they are bikes, bikes are made to be ridden ffs.. at least sell them to people who will use the things.. i know a guy and he has a serio...

You're probably right Jim, in the sense it couldn't have been helped, sadly. Your old boss had a good take on it too, I'm sure there is some truth there. Also the British bike industry I think got complacent, Norton was doing really well at the IOM TT races and the British bike industry was at the ...

Good to see the Norton's again 8) I just find it sad that we used to build so many different British motorcycles in this country, now we only produce on a mass scale "Triumph" Chris. You know it is but I don't think it could be helped. Learning to deal with a true global economy takes tim...

Update: FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Evidence shows four of the nine people killed in a melee between rival biker gangs outside a Texas restaurant were struck by the same caliber of rifle fired by Waco police. The latest trove of potential grand jury evidence obtained by The Associated Press provides th...

99% Humidity is like living in Houston, Texas except it is 109 degrees in the summer.

That kind of humidity can't be good for ya.

All that humidity must make fog a real possibility?
