it was so cold I offered to buy him a cup of coffee, his reply was, i'll have an extra large vanilla latte...... :eek2
talk about expensive tastes...... :lol:
it was that cold that I had to buy it for him, he'd have ferk all if he'd asked for some biscuits with it...... :wink:
He'd have been just as happy swigging the diesel, mate.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Well, it was yesterday but anyway:
A large sign written over the wall of a pub in Ealing, saying:
"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet".

I remember it tasted like grape juice laced with alcohol. The "MD" stands for Mogen David, and is affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20" I am sure the UK has their equivalent brands of, elbow preferred, rot-gut hooch.

Looking for something in old posts found this...

Now remember at the time I was still in plaster & had recently bought Drooper, which was of course yellow when first purchased...

The thread was ''What's in the box'' http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... it=Drooper

Martys guess ...

Now just remind us all Marty what hue is you current ride... :lol: :lol:

At the time he was mainly riding the 69BHP full power blue one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I've been misquoted, as I believe I was talking about the early shade of yellow...... :sick:

not the beautifully bright later yellow.... :wink:
you really must find a lady friend or significant other to pass the time mac, as trawling thru old posts isn't good for you my good fellow..... :lol:
oh and the mighty blue bike ended up with 111bhp, I was purposefully holding the power back as not to upset you lesser mortals with under powered vtr's
