Best Forum?

Must admit to being a bit of a forumaholic with owning so many different cars and bikes through the years but I dont think I have been on one with such a great bunch of people. No nasty posts and if it happens, it is soon sorted, no Richard***ds and some really genuine members.

Do you reckon it is the Firestorm that attracts a certain type of rider?

Anyhoo bout time Honda brought out a Storm replacement that will attract the riders that have just moved on so it were. (ahem er me that is)

Cheers
Jim

Yes, it is a bit of a comfy leather Chesterfield with a glass of vintage port and a fine Havana.

Sorry, got carried away there.

The VTR1200 would be bloody fantastic wouldn't it?

Maybe is Ducati keep re-writing the rules in WSB and 1200 V twins rule, then we will see one.

In the mean time, mine is plenty quick enough and still makes me smile. I was just watching Morecambe and Wise. They are outdated too, but nothing funnier

SP3 might be nice....

But I've been happy enough with my '97 storm for almost three years now, man and boy (mumble mumble, falls asleep).

Where was I?

Oh yes, getting more and more of those momnets where I'm just sitting there with the throttle full on waiting for something to happen, like the rev limiter or the next gearchange.

So I'm starting to think another 30 or 40 brake horse would be interesting.....

But you gotta say, at Â£1200-Â£2100 it's a lot of bike for the money these days.

i agree 104% with you there..

i have and still do post on various forums for all sorts of things and every single one has their W@n**rs.. the sort that if you were ever meet face to face you would buy them grapes prior to hitting them cause they wont be able to eat any thing for a long time while staying in hospital while they rebuild their jaw.

Ah, yes, distracted myself there. What I meant to say was, shame that the BIKE forum has been taken off.

The Bulldog Bash forum is quite a laugh, but you can't take the piss out of Harleys....

Oh Oh .... there you go Tim, upsetting the bloody natives!

They'll be painting their faces blue and sacking York again

(not a bad thing IMO) or would that be Upholland? do / did it ever have a Duke or a castle?

Be interesting how you'd extricate a leek from your butt the next time you go for a run in Wales too. The 'Forum' police'll be keeping an eye out for a pie eater on a XRZ now!!!

As for the 2 islands to the West, yes 2, IOM and Ireland, well you've also disenfranchised 2/3 groups there too!! Goodness only knows what punisments they'll have for you

Where's VTRgirl?

I love this forum and the people on it (but not in the biblical sense) - long may it continue.

bikerpiker · Post by **bikerpiker** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 8:02 pm

Im actually quite fussy when it comes to pies, somehow they don't taste the same as they did years ago,especially the mince pies

Too spicy noo if you ask me....,mind you, if you didnt taste the spices there would prob be no taste at all

The award winning Killie Pie is chunks of steak,,,tasty

Ye can actually get Haggis pies up here,only nov till april, ie outwith the breeding season
